then you did not get any credits for the UE you failed and have to sit all exam components of the failed UE again this year.

You cannot keep the marks of any exam components of an UE that you failed last year.

Example 1: Last January you got 12/20 for MLE, part a.

In June, you did not have to re-sit part a.
you did sit MLE, part b, but failed, and, as a consequence, failed the UE MLE.
In August, you sat the cumulative MLE exam on parts a and b combined, but failed.
This January you need to sit the MLE, part a exam. In June 2024 you have to sit the MLE, part b exam.

Example 2: Last January you got 8/20 for MLE, part a.

In June, you re-sit part a and passed.
you sat MLE, part b, but failed, and, as a consequence, failed the UE MLE.
In August, you sat the cumulative MLE exam on parts a and b combined, but failed.
This January you need to sit the MLE, part a exam. In June 2024 you have to sit the MLE, part b exam.
