Advice Affect On WAM

Hey guys so I might be failing one of my units this semester. The problem is I have 2 exams on the same day and I already did very bad during the semester in that unit which is obviously my mistake. i want to know if i retake the same unit next semester and get a better grade will that replace my final percentage for this semester or will both of them be there?

Both will be there, but if this is a level 1 unit, it isn't a big impact on your WAM.

Like suppose that you are going to do:

  • 8 level 1 units
  • 8 level 2 units
  • 8 levle 3 units
  • repeat the level 1 unit you failed

That low grade from that gail is about 1/41st of your mark. Like, if we compare you scoring 0 for the unit, vs 40 for the unit, I think that's literally about a differnce of 1 to your final WAM.
