So you have less chances to make it? Sounds like a horrible system and a huge money sink.

I am very satisfied you have 2 chances to try for an exam. It's a great way to wake you up if you fail the first time that you have to study more.

IMHO not giving a second chance is just being a cunt. People make mistakes, it is bound to happen. At least give them a chance to make amends.

I was trying to take a bunch of master's level courses all at once because I thought I was such hot shit for basically finishing all the undergraduate stuff in high school.

That was a fucking disaster. Trying to learn algebraic topology, this graduate level abstract algebra stuff, and some graduate level analysis course all at the same time really fucked me over and I had to take a step back after doing fucking terribly that semester.

Went all the way back to shit like number theory, game theory, etc., just to clear my head for a semester before going back in.

It is incredibly bad for the consumer and a plain rip off. "Yes sir you failed test, please pay as another full year to retake test".

People already leaned what they needed to know they just fucked up the exam.

Some exams are justified for taking twice.
Some of the shit we had to do in topology classes would justify a second exam because it was so fucking hard and there's really no good way to test the material, at all.

But I agree that someone in something like a Psychology 101 course shouldn't get a second exam. That stuff should be second nature: they either read the material and got it or they didn't.

I was in college and had a lot of problems in my personal life and was taking 6 courses of mostly accounting and finance courses, so literally the last thing on my mind was crypto.
