What does RESIT mean in Scrabble?
noun
British
An examination or test that a student takes again, usually after failing or missing it the first time.
A resit gives a student a second chance to pass a course after an earlier failure, and schools and universities usually set fixed dates later in the year for this purpose. The term is mainly used in British and other Commonwealth education systems, where American English tends to speak instead of retaking a test. Students who need a resit often have to pay an extra fee or wait for the next available sitting. The related verb, to resit an exam, describes the act of taking that second test.
How RESIT is used
Chiefly British; used in schools and universities for a repeated examination.
