    Unless you have a doctor's cert, afaik you'll be marked as getting zero and will have to repeat in August. Your repeat will be capped at 40%. I'd say it's worth going in anyway, anything you can write down at all will be better than zero...

    Yep, capped at 40% in August. Check the book of modules though, as for some modules, they dont let you sit the repeat exam in August. Heard of it happening last year. It's not worth it. Go cram now like the rest of us, and try scrape a pass :pac:
