Keep in mind that the resits, which occur in September, are NOT more difficult than the June exam. Only, that the summer exam "cuts the wheat from the chaff" and the students taking the resists are usually the 10%-30% of students which failed the summer exam. So as a tactic if you fail in the summer make sure that you do sufficient study before you undertake the September exam, if you feel you are not 100% ready wait until the next summer exam.
