I didn't pass :(
That really blows. We've gone through a few failures ourselves, so we understand how crappy it is to push yourself through all this hard work only to not get through. Here are 5 steps to make the most of this experience.
Retabulation.
If you’re not satisfied with your results and wish to request a retabulation, note that this is only a technical check to ensure that your paper was graded correctly with no mistakes. It is not a subjective reconsideration of your case so only request one if you think there has been an error in the grading process.
It's highly unlikely that you'll be upgraded to a pass as a result of retabulation - we've never heard of it happening, to be honest.
I have another question!
Our team of charterholders is at hand today at the Forum - just post your question there, or simply put it in the comments below! We'll get back to you in a jiffy.
How were your results today? We'd be happy to hear about them below, and remember to get detailed analysis from our Analyze Results tool!
