Once they have given you all the resits possible and you've failed then you can't sit the final exam in that year, and I would imagine you would drop down a level.

I got 18/30 for my textual analysis and I was really happy with that as the previous poems we looked at I had no clue how to answer the questions.

Thank God it is not in the final exam.

I would say this:

This is an example of the personification of time, whilst time itself is unable to be a vandal it is being compared with this undesirable figure. Through this use of personification it is suggested that time, as well as being a healer, can harm, things can become damaged and tattered over time without any need for a human to do this. (or something like that- obviously making it specific to the content of the passage- ie mention the bit about the graves)

(tip- for the TA elaborating and explaining is good if u have time)
I passed my TA by only one mark, and I'm the mod for this!
I wouldn't be too worried as I was in the top class and it wasnt just one person who failed and they were allowed two more resit( 3 sittings in all)- however they only needed the 2. My boyfriend was in the lowest class and most of them passed 1st time but still some failed- but they all passed after 2nd sitting.
From what I can see you can do it as you the personification thing and that was hard!
You'll do fine

Dont worry, from what I gather it was a drama that was the text and it was one of the hardest TAs ever! I'm sure u've done ok

Arg....i failed my TA....don't know what my mark was (I wasn't in english today,i was down singing christmas songs and dancing in the hall after assembly....the funness).I got told by a trustworthy person tho.I don't particurlary want to tell me mum tho.... .I don't think it will matter too much...I passed all the NABs last year,but then again last year we did it with a LOT more practice.
