an opportunity to take an examination again after failing it initially
A resit is an opportunity for a student to retake an exam or assessment that they initially failed. It allows the student to attempt the exam again, often after additional study or preparation, to improve their grade. Resits are typically offered for major exams or final assessments and are usually scheduled at a later date. While the content and format of a resit may be similar to the original exam, it provides a chance for the student to demonstrate their knowledge and improve their academic performance.
