If you dropped the D from AAAD you'd be on a better start for next year than if you dropped the C from AABC, both are worth the same amount of UCAS points though. If you got AABC you could resit to get the B up to an A which might give you a better overall grade but I wouldn't stress too much, just see what you get :smile:

On the AQA UMS converter page why is it only available for AS exams for this year but not A2 exams?

Because the new spec - AS exams - do not have UMS

I seem to be passing all my linear subjects and failing my modular ones and I'm sure you'll do great with those boundaries :biggrin:

Is AAAD better than AABC at AS?

Both give the same number of UCAS tariff points, but I'd say AAAD is better since you meet the conditions for AAA courses.

I don't understand how that answers my question...the ums converter is available for AS but not A2.
