Uni Result Question

4Play · 2 Jul 2010 at 20:44

Cut to the chase, just graduated from my uni did really well in summer but made a bit of a mess of one of my exams in the january. Because of my overall performance throughout the degree I have been granted a pass by compensation. My question is would allowing one topic to be passed in this way be adverse to my degree? Sorry for the hazy question here guys, but im guessing someone has first hand experience of this.

If it helps my degree is in law but I am not persuing my degree any further academically, ( i.e solicitor or barrister etc)instead I have a few interviews for jobs lined up. So will it effect me substantially ? Re

This year my scores where, 53, 55, 62, 60, 60 and then 35 !!!! so two 2,2's, three 2,1s and a fail. The compensation is to bump the 35 to 40 without having to resit :S

Compensation may mean you are awarded a pass on that module but still retain a score of 35 (my uni did this)

I believe this is what they are doing. Ill have to get in contact with the uni to double check all this

thanks for replies all.
