Resit


Explanation:
REC is recuperação, which is usually a resit (additional test). The criterion varies between schools, the client should contact the school or issuing body to see which case it is. In some cases you can only take recuperação if you miss a test, while in other cases you can also use it to replace a poor mark. The case where it is to replace a missing test would be known as a 'make-up test'.
