Second-year exams

This is where Barry understands the true cost of his cheating. He has been desperately revising for several weeks, but 'revising' implies going over material you have already learned, not trying to learn stuff for the first time. The exams are worse than he had hoped and harder than he had feared. He had not formed any opinions of his own and basically did not understand what he was writing about.

When the results arrive, some subjects are better than others, but none are good and he faces several re-sits if he is to progress to the third year. Is it worth it? Barry has a really hard choice to make.

A -re-sit the exams and progress to the third year

B -leave this story

C -start again
