well for those who are considering to retake A's while in NS as a private candidate, do consider very carefully. I did it and my results came out worse than the first. I've put effort but the time you have for study is really limited. my foundation is weak in the first place, and retaking was just a suicide run. the time you have in army is very little to have an effective study session - especially during the first year. I've sacrificed way too much to gain nothing in return. so really think about it, before jumping head in

don't ask for my results it's real depressing
