75 is the worse.
You can explain how busy you were during the first attempt. Which means, your level is actually 85.

thanks for the reply! what do you mean by youre level is actually 85, does that mean that 85 on second attempt equals 75 first attempt or its much better.
thanks in advance!

I think first attempt should always be superior to 2nd as program would tell you apply with score...on first attempt, statistics would say, graduates passed exam on ..% 1st attempt, medical subjects passed on 1st attempt; 2nd attempt could be made up with a high score, though be prepared to explain and it's acceptable, it's common sense as you're not yet dealing with life or death.
