Advice on failing a final university exam

[DezUk]

I am posting this thread on behalf of a friend of mine who has recently ha some bad news. She is studying to be a linguistic and speech therapist and sat her final exam last week, which involved a presentation. She was told she failed by 3 marks and I personally think that’s a bit harsh.

I am wondering if anyone else has experienced this scenario and if there is a way of appealing to try and find those extra 3 marks. It would prevent my mate having to go through another placement and all that goes with it.

Advice appreciated!

Cheers

Unless of course this is a badly worded thread and the "bad news" referred to at the start of the OP was BEFORE the exam?

In which case (depending on the type of news) she might be able to get some kind of exonerating circumstance?

She received the bad news (exam results) after the exam

Thanks for all the advice guys!

She has been in touch with her course advisor who has advised her on what is required. So she just needs to go on another placement and things should be sorted.
