I didn’t get retained but that was a very real possiblity when I
was Sec 3. On one hand you feel the sadness if your class is ripped
from limb to limb if people kena retain. Also your friends all
graduate before you oso not happy. But the bright side,I feel that
if you get retain in Sec 3 its better than if you can’t handle Sec
4 and flunk your Os. Retain, re-establish foundation, do better for
Os. Not ready but didn’t retain, rush to Os, flunk everything come
back as private candidate. Waste 2 years instead of 1. So sometimes
retaining might not be the lesser of two evils.
