Does the no. of attempts to clear an exam show on the exam history transcript?

So far I have cleared all exams on the first attempt, and it would bother me to have a fail on my transcript especially considering the fact that I know I am not fully prepared to attempt my exam for this session
However I have been advised to try my luck and attempt the paper as I would not be getting a refund anyway.
I, on the other hand, would prefer to be marked absent and try again for the next session instead of having a fail showing on the transcript for life!
Advice would be appreciated 🙂
