Was it an A Level exam?

AS exam, does that make a difference?

I believe that you are required to list all of your public examinations. I can understand why you'd want to omit this, though. I'm sure someone will know more categorically.

thanks, i might try calling UCAS themselves

Put it this way - if you comply with the requirements and put it down you've got a better chance than attempting to omit it, get found out (which you undoubtedly will) and have an application rejected out of hand. Best of luck.

and if you don't? whats the penalty and how likely are they to find out?

expelled / declined from the course you have entered , possibly banned from that HEI for life, reported to any accrediting body / Statutory register - small chance of criminal prosecution and /or being placed on a DBS barred list.

That's a choice you made and a risk you took.
Your application was technically fraudulent and could have been cancelled at any time by UCAS and any uni offer withdrawn if the ommission was discovered in the checks that they routinely do.

and if found out later , dismissed from a job and struck off a professional register - as various Health professionals and Lawyers have had happen when their fraudulent mis reporting of qualifications comes to light

I work for the DBS and personally produce and manage the stats around the barred lists. I'm sorry but that is just nonsense.

It's been several years since I did mine but I would have thought they're only interested in the grades you got, not the grades you didn't get. If you don't include them they're not going to be that bothered...it's not a significant thing. You don't get certificates to say you've failed a subject...

no life sentence? you're being a little extreme-worst case you're not accepted by the uni

There are people who have been struck off professional registers for mis representation of qualifications .

hmm who do we believe someone with 2 decades of experience in DBS regulated sectors and Strategic Clinical governament management experience ( in regulated sectors as all healthcare is regulated sectors when it comes to the DBS) or a filing clerk ?

by the time you successfully pass your course and achieve your selected degree, why would failure to include a failed AS level result (which could have been an accident) get you fired from your job? seems a little excessive

So you think not including U grades on a UCAS application equals outright fraud and can be compared to financially abusing a vulnerable adult? Wow...

No, the case would be thrown out immediately.
