    need help/info on the cambridge SAQ
    okay guys basically im in year 13 atm, i didnt do so well in my AS got ABBB..not good enough for mediicne so i decided to retakes in january and got all As (over 90 percents) im also hoping to get 3A*s this year and want to apply to cambridge while im on my gap year and so i heard the SAQ will ask me to include all exams i have taken/resits and im abit worried. Also my school does not cash in AS grades, they only cash in your Alevels at the end of year 13 so does this mean i wont have to put in resits. sorry im just a bit confused and i need help, it would be amazing if any of you have filled out the questionaire and could let me know what you have to do for it. do u also have to put dates of exams?


    thank you so much

    You should include all of your results. Having one or two retakes wont kick you out in the admission process, as far as I am concerned.

    Most schools/colleges I know do not cash in any grades until you finish your A-Level, regardless of AS or A-Level qualification you will receive.

    All the information about SAQ can be found here http://www.study.cam.ac.uk/undergraduate/apply/saq.html I would recommend you doing a clear research about the application, so that you wont be shocked during it.
