final attempt

A final attempt is the last permitted attempt to complete or submit a piece of assessed work, after which no further attempt is allowed.

In plain English

It refers to the one remaining chance to finish or hand in assessed work. Once that try has been used, no more attempts are permitted for that same work.

In context

Here, it warns that the submission being made now is the last permitted one for that assessed work.

Situation

Meaning limits

The term identifies the limit on permitted tries, not the quality of the work or the assessment result.
