    Sorry to hear this - but thank you for always being open and honest. I pray that you stay diligent and remain hopeful - your attitude will get you far 💪🏾❤️

      Thank you! Having a less tense year presents a big opportunity, so I'll try to make the most of these circumstances - no matter how bleak 🙌🏽

    I'm about to fail my 2nd year at uni. Uni decided to change from online exams to on campus without telling us until the final term and it's been 2 years since doing on campus exams (I did a foundation year and that was online). Got too used to open book and I realise my knowledge is non-existant. I'm hoping I can retake the year fully but the university has weird requirements when it comes to full retakes so I might have to do a partial retake without attendance.

    • @jordanebert3313

      That doesn't sound fair at all, though I doubt the uni will have much leniency since assessments can technically take place in any form. I'd recommend submitting some extenuating circumstances as leverage and hopefully that will help you make a case for retaking the year or even just doing summer resits, though I'd recommend focusing on past papers and getting back to grips with understanding the core content (or at least memorising the methods, depending on your course). I had a similar experience this year and it's weird not having notes or resources near you, but I'm sure you'll pull through now that your expectations are better aligned!

      @musiclinks5372 I forgot I had written this comment, so i guess I might as well give an update. I had to retake that year which I passed, and now I have completed my final exam for my final year. I believe I have done enough to graduate with a 2:2 at least but we'll have to wait and see.

    When I applied for student finance this yr I said it was for yr 3 but no I have my results I am going back into second yr so how do I tell student finance that? Email or phone call?? also is there a deadline to tell them cuz I think I have left it too late!!

    • @jordanebert3313
      @jordanebert3313  Před 11 měsíci +1

      As far as I know, when you register on your course through your uni they'll inform SFE you're doing Y2 again part time, so there's nothing to do on your end. I'd keep an eye on it just in case, but you shouldn't have to let anyone know

  • @sabz_m533

    I had a practical exam today and I pretty much failed, though results aren't out until 4 weeks. I could tell by the examiner's face I had failed and I didn't feel confident in any questions. Sometimes you just know
    I've just come across your channel and I've found we're very similar. Like you I got straight A's all through A levels without having to put too much effort in. I could show up, sit the exams and be okay. I also have ADHD
    One place we differ is, unlike you, I can't accept and be okay with the fact that I've failed. I don't think it's even hit me yet. All that is on my mind is the resits in summer. And what if I fail those too? I've actually never failed an exam in my life so this has been a big hit for me. First year has in general, and I don't know how to get back up on my feet. Any advice? How do you stay so calm through all of this 😭

    • @jordanebert3313
      @jordanebert3313  Před 4 měsíci +1

      I just learned to reframe it, you only "fail" when they don't let you continue/try again. If you're as capable as you think, smash those resits and don't make the same mistakes next year! University is tough and I generally don't think people are prepared well enough for it. I sure as hell wasn't. But at some point you have to start taking responsibility for your slips and learn what you can along the way! If you take things one step at a time I know you'll be fine - just stay focused and keep your head down!

      @@jordanebert3313 thanks so much for the reply Jordan. I assumed that my uni does summer resits for practical exams, but I’m not certain. It’s no where on their website either.
      I was thinking of emailing them about it, but do you think I should wait 4 weeks till I have confirmation that I failed and then ask them about it? I’m just so eager to know lol, but I don’t want to give them the impression that I’m thinking about resits already because I’m positive of a fail

    • @jordanebert3313
      @jordanebert3313  Před 4 měsíci

      There's no harm in asking, if anything it's better to know what the situation is as soon as possible in case you have other deadlines to worry about!
      For example, if you haven't already told them about your ADHD, there may be a deadline to flag any conditions that may entitle you to assessment adjustments. In the case where usually they don't offer resits, it's likely they'd have to make an exception for students who weren't given a fair chance the first time

    Hi, I failed one of courses in third year in uni of Bristol, is there still a chance for me to do a resit in summertime? Do I still have a chance to get my degree…Do you know something about that? Thanks for the help

    • @jordanebert3313
      @jordanebert3313  Před rokem

      Hey! You'll be able to retake that in August for sure, everyone gets 3 attempts to pass an assessment (i.e. summer retake then supplementary resit year), but there may be a limit on the number of assessments/credits you can retake depending on what your department allows. Best to follow that up with your personal tutor or someone in your faculty!

    • @jordanebert3313
      @jordanebert3313  Před 3 lety +1

      I think we've spoken before? Either way, you should be good to retake, most unis allow you summer retakes then an extra year to attempt any outstanding credits, so you should be good 💪🏽 check with the rules for your specific uni though, maybe speak with your personal tutor or the head of your course etc

    Do you have to self fund the rest of your degree? Do you not think that you probably just hate your course?

    • @jordanebert3313
      @jordanebert3313  Před 3 lety

      I definitely don't hate the degree - I'm passionate about tech and want to work in engineering in the future, it's just difficult I guess to motivate myself for all of the units, especially those that aren't aligned with my areas of interest.
      RE financing, typically you're allowed one resit year plus unlimited extras if you complete the relevant CPR forms as and when they're required, but I'm yet to sort my finances out for this year. I doubt I'll have to self fund, but worst case I'll pay to only sit the exams and avoid paying for lectures

      @@jordanebert3313 Hi, I'm in sort of the same situation as you. I recently had my second year exams but due to how the past year has been (COVID etc) I became really depressed and was not able to take the exams so I decided to suspend this year. I just made the decision yesterday, so its a new thing. I filled in the suspension form yesterday and the university said that they would notify student finance of this and student finance will send me a letter in two weeks that will I guess advice me of my finances. 🤷🏽‍♀️😩 It's just that, I have already completed all my modules and only have exams to do so how does that work or have you figured a way around that in terms of student finance & everything else?

      Yeah I've had this thought before. I find the issue isn't so much university as much as it's my time management or prioritisation skills, like catching up is much harder in uni than it was in school. Generally it says more about me than uni, plus I actually like my course so I'm definitely planning to stick it out
