uusintakokeeseen

Uusintakoe is a Finnish term that translates to "resit exam" or "retake exam." It refers to an opportunity for a student to take an examination again after failing it the first time. This concept is common in educational systems to provide students with a second chance to demonstrate their understanding of the course material.

The availability and structure of uusintakokeet vary depending on the educational institution and the specific course. Generally, a student must have achieved a certain minimum performance level on the original exam to be eligible for a resit. The resit exam may cover the same material as the original exam, or it might be slightly different in format or focus. The grading policy for resits also differs; in some cases, the original failing grade is replaced by the new grade, while in others, the resit grade is capped at a certain level.

The purpose of a uusintakoe is to allow students to pass a course they might have struggled with initially due to various reasons, such as illness, inadequate preparation, or examination anxiety. It is a mechanism to support student learning and progression through their studies. However, there are often limits on the number of resits allowed for a particular course or degree program.
