Abstract

Exam season is a stressful period for university students, and the possibility of having to take resits in September only adds more pressure. In some universities, this resit period has been eliminated, and instead, the creation of an extraordinary resit period without September has been proposed, which allows students to have a second chance in a shorter timeframe. This change has been the subject of debate among education experts and has sparked interest among researchers to analyze the potential effects on students' academic outcomes. In this article, a comparative study is presented between academic results with the change from September resits to the new extraordinary resit periods in February for the first semester and July for the second semester at the University of Almería from the implementation of the agricultural technical engineer degree in the 2010 academic year until the 2021/22 academic year. Additionally, the academic results of the COVID-19 academic year have been analyzed due to the uniqueness of the online teaching and examination model. As a final conclusion of this study, it can be affirmed that the change in the extraordinary resit period, the elimination of September, has not had a negative impact on the pass rates in the extraordinary resits in the new scenario. The results of this study provide valuable information for educators and policymakers as they offer data to determine whether this new modality of extraordinary resit periods is a beneficial option for students and universities. Furthermore, the study could also contribute to the ongoing debate on best practices in learning assessment and fostering students' academic success.
