Repeat exams cost?

donfarrell

Yo,
I'm repeating two exams in august.
I know they are 50 each but was just wondering since I got the maintenance grant would I have to pay that?
Thanks

kenon

AFAIK its €50 for as many exams you are repeating and it's not covered by the maintenance grant.

That was the case in the past anyway.

So it'll cost me a 100 to repeat 2 exams?

50 euro max, regardless if you have 1 repeat or 4. As I said, thats how it was in the past.

That's how it was last year, think the price goes up after 6 or something but not by much

Speaking of repeats, how do you go about applying to resit a test? I've to repeat a test from January and haven't heard anything from ITB about it. Not 100% certain, but I think last year we got a letter about them, nothing so far this year though.

that would tend to suggest there won't be a problem getting it before holidays.
I'd call the sid desk as already mentioned to make sure.

You could always get the ol' parents to take a look see.. or if that's -cough- avoidable at best... then a friend? XD

donfarrell

Ye i'll probably jus ring if I didnt get anything by the 25th :L
Also my parents know as I dont have €50 to pay the damn fee :L
