well...engraved's got a point..but she's really confident. nid- are you appearing for any of your A2 exams in jan..or planning to? don't listen to people, try to find out if there's been any cases like this, were the students as confident as you are and all that. re-appearing's got its own burden and wastage of time, money, concentration. well, look at all the aspects of both these things and i hope you'll be able to decide the best! good luck!
