The terms “repeating” and “resitting” CSEC exams are often used interchangeably, but they can have distinct meanings depending on the context. Here’s a breakdown of the differences:
Repeating CSEC Exams
- Definition: Repeating typically means taking the same exam or subject again from the beginning, usually after not achieving the desired result in a previous attempt.
- Context: This might involve re-enrolling in a course or program to retake the subject as part of a structured learning process.
- SBA Scores: When repeating, you might need to complete new SBA (School-Based Assessment) work, as previous SBA scores might not be carried forward unless specified.
- Duration: Repeating often involves a longer period, including additional classes or study time.
Resitting CSEC Exams
- Definition: Resitting refers to taking the exam again for a specific subject without necessarily re-taking the full course. This is usually done to improve your grade.
- Context: This often involves simply re-registering for the exam and sitting it at the next available examination sitting.
- SBA Scores: Resitting may allow you to carry forward SBA scores from a previous attempt, depending on the rules set by CXC.
- Duration: Resitting usually involves a shorter period of preparation focused specifically on the exam.
In closing, repeating involves a broader scope of re-engagement with the subject, including potentially redoing coursework, while resitting focuses more on retaking the exam itself, often with previous coursework or SBA scores carried forward.
