    Well, you did an exam with a negative result, so you are offered the chance of doing it again in a later stage. That's what we call an 'herkansing'. Looked for the English word on the net but I can't find one.


    A 'resit' in english, you do the paper again to get a better mark

    Whaha, in that case, you should remove the last two letters: 'Herkansing'. That's singular instead of plural (Herkansingen).

    Aha yeah, "herkansingen" has something to it that "resit" doesn't! I had 2 resits for my A-levels this year, pile of arse but hopefully it'll lead to better grades
