[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 118023, member: 2672"] You are right that these won’t be seen as mitigating circumstances unfortunately. Mitigating circumstances are things that are outside of your control and unexpected, so the format of the assessment and not being familiar with them will not be considered mitigating circumstances. The fact it is a Russell Group university doesn’t make any difference either unfortunately. You still achieved a 2.1 and so this will be sufficient for many firms. How sufficient it will be will depend on the rest of your academics (high school grades as well as first year) and also the strength of your application elsewhere. You may find it more difficult with firms who stress the importance of academic excellence, and so with them you may want to wait until you have your final year results if they have improved by that point.
