Message: <blockquote data-quote="Sulaiman" data-source="post: 179736" data-attributes="member: 35766">I am generally a very indecisive person but I want to become a solicitor down the line and surely resitting to get a 2.1 would help even if they do scrutinise it? Also, would I be worse off if I resat and got the same overall grade than if I didn't resit at all? I ask because I am uncertain on the view towards resits when it comes to firms. I have kind of been lead to believe that the firms that ask about first-year grades despite them not counting towards the classification would also be the firms to look down upon resits and prefer it to have applicants who have not resat an exam. Furthermore, if I did manage to secure a 2.1 due to an increase in the exam I would want to resit, would these firms that scrutinise resits be bothered by my original mark despite the fact that the resit would have altered it?I am unsure if a resit is the right thing for me but the notion of some firms closing their doors to me is very upsetting and makes me want to consider the resit. I am also quite frustrated that I was ever so close to a 2.1 but mental health issues etc stunted my performance. I know some firms will ask about mitigating circumstances so perhaps a 2.2 is not the end of the world, especially considering how I will almost definitely improve in 2nd year, but I am just so very frustrated as my prospects are now limited far more than I had originally imagined. As first year does not count towards my final degree classification, would it be a pipe dream to think that a 2.1 or 1st in my next 2 years can salvage my entire degree?Also, I've noticed that you mentioned how there's only a small number of opportunities for firms that accept below 2.1. Does this not mean I should resit if I can improve the singular mark that will boost my grade above a 2.2? I do not enjoy the idea of being sidelined due to my performance in second year and I can still change it if I resit and do well enough to move up to 2.1, no? I am just a bit confused as you did not mention if this was only for first year or the overall classification.I am very sorry for the many questions but I am quite panicked as I have been informed of my ability to gain standing in an application for an appeal just yesterday at 11pm with the deadline being today at midnight.</blockquote>
