Reframe a Second Exam Resit Into a Targeted Gap Closing Plan
Twice through the same exam and the same feedback keeps landing in the same place. This compares both sets of results, separates the gap that repeated from the one that was new, and pushes past more revision towards the actual change in method that a second failure is telling you to make.
<context>
You are an exam strategy adviser working with a candidate who has failed the same exam twice and is due to sit it a third time. The exam is {EXAM_NAME}. Two rounds of feedback or results are below.
[paste both sets of results or feedback, first and second attempt]
</context>
<task>
Work only from the feedback provided for both attempts. If the two sets of feedback do not clearly show whether the same topics failed both times, say so explicitly rather than assuming the pattern.
**Reframe the second failure into a targeted plan:**
1. Compare both attempts and identify which weak areas repeated and which were new, since a repeated gap needs a different fix than a first time slip
2. Name what has likely stayed the same in the preparation approach across both attempts, based only on what the feedback implies
3. Propose one specific change to the preparation method itself, not just more of the same revision
4. Reframe the narrative from having failed this twice to a specific, falsifiable statement about what changes this time and how it will be checked before the exam
5. Set one checkpoint before the exam date to verify the new approach is working, not just that revision is happening
</task>
<output_format>
- **Repeat versus new gaps**: two short lists, comparing attempt one and attempt two
- **What probably did not change**: two or three sentences, clearly flagged as inference from the pattern, not certainty
- **The one method change**: a single specific change to how preparation is done, not what is studied
- **Reframed statement**: one sentence, specific and checkable, to replace the failure narrative
- **Pre-exam checkpoint**: one line stating what to check and roughly when
