From result to resit, step by step.
  • Results come through your medical school.
  • If it did not go to plan, ask for feedback and look for patterns, not just a total.
  • Talk to student support early: help is there, and a resit is a plan, not a verdict.

If it did not go to plan

  • Ask your school how results are shared and what feedback is available.
  • Find out the resit rules and dates early, and any limits on attempts.
  • Talk to a tutor about what to change. A different method often matters more than more hours.

Your checklist

  • Know who to ask for feedback
