    If you resit an exam the max GPA you can get from it is 2.0 ie a D-.

    No basically. Remember 1 module is only 1/24th of your entire degree (assuming you're doing a standard 3year modularised course) you have plenty of opportunities this term to rectify your bad grade

    If you are on the standard 3 year and that D- was an elective, I'm pretty sure you can pay extra to take another elective and replace the grade.

    If it's not but you are a bit savvy you might be able to do some juggling by reassigning your modules but as DB said, one grade is not that big a deal and might not be worth the effort.
