Hey guys,<BR><BR>I have tried not to think about it too much but the thought has crossed my mind about resits. I honestly believe I have failed DFS and after the costings paper am not so sure about that either!<BR><BR>Now...If I have failed obviously I would resit, but my point being, if I can't pass this time round (when I have been going to college) how can I pass in December with no college? Its the DFS one I am more bothered about as I don't really understand it?<BR><BR>I thought about private tutoring but its sooooo expensive! How have others who have resat managed?

    Advice on resits please!

    I have never had to do a re-sit yet. Although there is a first time for everything and this time I am sure I have failed at least one. I plan on waiting till I get my results and finding out which one, or ones, I have failed and then going back through the books and my notes page by page until nearer the time. Then I will just do all the past papers again. My problem this time was I didn't pay the book enough attention and that is were all the knowledge based questions could have been answered. I just did paper after paper after paper. Big mistake. Still, we live and learn. Everybody studies differently I suppose. I know though that if I didn't pass first time round by going to college, then I won't the second time either. I felt my college really let me down this year and I will be better on my own. <BR>This probably doesn't help you much though does it. Try and find a good study buddy. I have had one for the past two years and we really pull each other through. She has her strong points and I have mine. <BR>Good luck with the results.

    <BR>I haven't had to do a re-sit yet, but after that PEV paper, it's quite possible!<BR><BR>I went to college in London on day release from work, which is an intensive way of doing it. If I have to re-sit I plan to go to a local college in the evenings, because the pace is slower and it might suit me better. <BR><BR>So you could try a different college or study method and see you find it easier?<BR><BR>

    I did a resit on intermediate and actually found I had more time to dedicate to study. <BR>All I did was to work through the text book again and work on past papers which did get me through the 2nd time probably with flying colours.<BR>My advice is, don't panic and if you do the same as I did, I think you will be pleasantly surprised at how much you remember from college.<BR>Good luck, you never know you may not have to do a resit.<BR><BR>Sharon

    Do BPP do revision courses in your area, or FTC?<BR><BR>That might be an idea as it will be new tutors, you won't need to concentrate on the things you did understand and there is plenty of support.<BR><BR>Good luck

    I did a BPP revision course for PEV and PCR and it was over three days and was really helpful as I am a Home Study student and that was my only contact with a real life tutor! I'd really recommend it and I'll defiantely go on one for DFS.<BR>Having said that, I'm not sure I've passed PEV thanks to 'that' question so I'll be in the same boat too I expect! <BR>

    Thanks for the advice guys, much appreciated as always.<BR><BR>I have never had to resit so far either, just worried this year I might have to!<BR><BR>I haven't looked into revision classes as I need to learn DFS before I start to revise it. The costings paper I understand so if I have failed I can do plenty of revision but can't with DFS. I could enrol at college again but they don't teach the whole year between sept and dec so I still wouldn't be ready. Am not so sure what I can do but I suppose I will just have to wait and see! Fingers crossed!

    I agree with disco1, and have also never had to resit. DFS was my worst subject and I never fully understood it either. But I think I will be looking through my books rather than doing those old papers too as they were really a complete waste of time and effort!
