**UPDATED 27/09/10** Declaring GCSE/AS/A Level Grades on UCAS

Two quick questions - I've checked through the main threads just in case but sorry if either of has already been answered. (Better to be asking them now than after the application's been sent off!)


(a) Say you're studying for an A-level as standard, you've got a cashed-in AS-level and you've carried on, ready to do the A2 modules in Jan/June 2011. You're resitting one module from the AS alongside the A2 modules and so you've got to declare this on the application - fair enough.

You enter:
- the cashed-in AS-level with overall grade and 2/3 module grades as one qualification,
- a new pending AS-level with the one module you're resitting as pending, and finally
- the pending A-level - with the AS module you're resitting as pending, the grades of the other AS modules you're NOT resitting, and the 2/3 A2 modules yet to be sat as pending.

Am I correct? It seems like a lot of repetition but I'm aware that's generally the case - I'd really appreciate it if someone could point out if any part of it is wrong though.


(b) Next question, and an easier one too probably - if an AS-level has NOT been cashed-in (though you are carrying the subject on to A2) do you still enter it as a separate qualification to the A-level and put both as pending for June 2011, OR do you only enter the pending A-level with the AS grades and pending A2 units on that? (Probably the former, but again, I'd be really grateful if someone could just clarify this.)

Thanks.

(a) Yes (b) depends if you plan to cash in the AS as well as the full A level; if you do then you enter them as separate pending qualifications.

Don't be silly.

Hi..
I too have this problem when applying through UCAS. I just did my AS exams last June and achieved ABBCD. I am re-taking two modules in Biology to bring my D up to an A (because my other module was a very high B) and re-taking two modules in Math (to bring up my C to a B or an A). On the education section of UCAS, my teacher told me to just say that I am re-taking 2 modules and write my overall grade for each subject.

However, I want UCAS to know I got an A in one of my Math modules so the universities know what I am capable of. At the same time, even though I want to show them my module scores, I dont want them to know about the U I got in one of my biology modules although I was 2 marks off an A in the module I am not re-taking.

What should I do? Should I just do what my teacher told me to do or reveal more information? I am afraid UCAS will ask me personally why I did not write down my module scores for each subject but I have no idea what to do.

Any help will be appreciated =)

On my ucas application

I am applying for economics at uni

At AS I acheived:

A - Economics
A - Geography
A - History
C - Maths - shock

carrying on eco, geog and history to A2

I have high UMS scores and A in every module in economics, geography and history but messed up the maths a bit

So I am wondering whether to include module grades for the 3 subjects I am taking onto A2 and not the maths OR include all module including maths (B,C,C) OR no module grades at all

I am in two minds about this and whether it will look dodgy if I include my module grades for every subject but maths

Any advice on what would be best for my application?

It's a case of all or nothing on the issue of entering module grades. If a uni wants to know what they were they'll ask. UCAS won't.

So only UCAS see my module scores then? not the unis? Should I just leave everything the way it is then? I got told that if I want to add the "I got an A in one of my math modules" bit, that I could ask my teacher to add it in my reference.

Sound good?

...

It's obvious from the overall grades that you 'messed up the maths a bit' so I'd be inclined to enter the module grades if the others were really good - but it is a case of all or nothing.

Can I ask what you mean exactly by 'it is a case of all or nothing' because on my ucas form I can enter the module grades for only 3 subjects and just put the overall grade for maths. Or do you mean that if I don't enter module grades for the maths unis won't like it?
