49d English succeeded in slowing down the second test? (5) R?S?T
I think this is RESIT but now am wondering if it's RESET with the E in REST.

29d Brave, big time! (5) O?A?E

Can anyone help please with an explanation.

I've gone with resit being second test.

Exactly, but how do you explain the first part of the clue. I am still wavering. Many thanks to you both. Hope someone will come up with another slant on it.

I have been looking at E (English) & S (succeeded) inside RIT ( Ritardando - slowing down musically) leading to RESIT (second test). It looks plausible but I have not been able to establish the "succeeded" element.

Now you've got me thinking blueberry and I have the the perfect solution.
Since I submit online I'll just re-submit with the alteration. I checked with the Times and members may submit any amounts of entries, just a matter of luck which one they pick (if any). This doesn't help you of course, sorry.

Thank you crofter. I had only thought of rallentando, forgotten about ritardando. Just looked up S in the dictionary, and it does stand for succeeded, so I am pretty convinced it's resit after all.

All finished now! Good luck everyone! Thanks again

Good, that means I don't have to re-submit after all. Thanks for the RIT I hadn't thought of it myself.
