 REGULATIONS FOR RESIT CANDIDATES

Resit candidates must complete Papers 01 and 02 and Paper 03/1 of the examination for the year for
which they re-register. Resit candidates may elect not to repeat the School-Based Assessment
component, provided they rewrite the examination no later than two years following their first
attempt.

Candidates may opt to complete a School-Based Assessment for each Unit written or may opt to reuse
another SBA score which satisfies any of the conditions listed at (a) to (b) below.

(a) A candidate who rewrites the examination in the same Unit within two years may reuse the
moderated SBA score earned in the previous sitting within the preceding two years.
Candidates reusing SBA scores in this way must register as “Resit candidates” and provide the
previous candidate number. Candidates are no longer required to earn a moderated score
that is at least 50 per cent of the maximum possible score; any moderated score may be
reused.

(b) Candidates who enter for Unit 1 or Unit 2, in different sittings, may reuse a moderated SBA
score obtained in a previous sitting of either Unit within the preceding two years. The SBA
score may be reused in either Unit, or in both Units, irrespective of the Unit in which it was
first obtained. (Candidates reusing SBA scores in this way must register as ‘Transfer’
candidates).

Resit candidates must be entered through a recognised educational institution, or the Local Registrar’s
Office.
