    Depends on your uni. Normally you'd get a shot at resits. Where are you studying?

    i have never heard of a university with no resit opportunity.
    I personally didnt have exams in January during my degree, but the resits for my post grad for my January exam are in April, so It could be dependant on when the original exams were, or they may all be in one go in August.
    Surely you don't know if you have failed yet? Or maybe you havent even sat them. Have some faith.

    dont write it off straight away, just go to the exam and do what you can. if you do fail, go and see your tutor to find out where you went wrong, and get help.

    Most uni's don't want people to fail and will do everything they can to help, whether that be resits or retaking a year. Talk to your tutor if you have any concerns.

    I'm pretty sure all unis offer resits but you're paying £50 in our uni to take them so you're better off passing them first time round.

    yeah. you will be able to resit in the summer. depending on your university, they can cap your grade point / class so you may only receive a pass mark even if your work is of a first class standard, unless you can prove you have a valid reason for failing first time around. - least to say thats what happens at my uni. obviously being capped can seriously affect you degree class when you get it. look into it. ask you uni.
