Another question:

If I've done pianoforte exams outside of school and passed them during year 13, how do I update my results with UCAS?

Phone UCAS first of all and you can get the details added to your application.

Are they relevant to your course, or would they count towards meeting your offer? If so, once you've contacted UCAS, you should also contact the universities you've applied to informing them about the exams (UCAS may say you should do this anyway).

Thanks! Is there a number I can contact them on? I'm having trouble finding it.

Hi, I've just finished my AS year and for one subject, maths, I sat the full AS Maths qualification and exams with two different exam boards, Edexcel and CIE. Originally I was doing Edexcel but then my college suggested me to do CIE because it was more of a challenge and so on... So I sat both.
I plan on continuing Maths onto A2, but I will follow one board (I definitely won't carry on with two), be it CIE or Edexcel I don't know which one yet.

My question is whether I will have to include both results, since they essentially are exactly the same qualification, just with two different boards?? Or can I just declare one of them?? Thank you for any replies.

You will need to declare both, as they may be the 'same' subject but they are separate qualifications awarded by separate bodies.

OK, I have a few more questions:

1. When filling out your application, if you are continuing with a particular subject onto A2, do you have to declare the respective AS grade separately (under GCE Advanced Subsidiary) or do I declare AS and A2 all together under a single GCE Advanced Level, for that subject??

2. I am doing Maths to the full A level, and also doing Further Maths but to AS only (will do it in my A2 year). When I enter these two subjects and each of their modules, do I choose the option ''GCE Advanced Level with Advanced Subsidiary (9 units)'' or do I enter the Maths A level as one subject and the AS Further Maths as a separate AS qualification??

Thanks again.

As it makes clear in the OP of this thread, these must be entered separately because they are separate qualifications.

You enter them as separate qualifications.

In which case you need to contact UCAS first thing on Monday and make sure they will be able to pick this up when processing the results. You would never have been able to make this amendment on Track.

If we took an exam in Jan 2012, but then retook it in June 2012, would we need to contact UCAS to tell them you resat the exam?

If it wasn't on your UCAS form, yes.

Ahh, thank you. I shall do that on Monday.

Just out of curiosity, what would happen if someone didn't update their UCAS regarding retakes? I'm just wondering because I wasn't told this by any of my teachers, and I know lots of my friends who retook subjects and haven't informed UCAS. I only know that I need to do this because of TSR, but not everyone uses TSR and the UCAS website isn't exactly the most helpful.

It could mean that confirmation of their place is delayed because the results can't be reconciled properly. Most of the time it's not a problem, but every now and again you get a case of someone who has to mess about with sending evidence of their retake results into their uni because things haven't got lined up with each other.

so we need to declare our AS UMS scores for the coming year right?

You only enter module grades not UMS on your UCAS application, and even that is optional except for some specific courses and unis (when it will specify this requirement in the prospectus).

Oh okay thanks , so for places like ucl they just want overall ums. two questions hah 1. If i'm retkaing one maths module will it come up as pending on ucas?

2. Does ucl pt high emphasis on GCSEs and high AS UMS scores for courses like economics?

Thanks in advance

Question:

if you have an AS level you are doing over 2 years (so it is incomplete) do you mention it on ucas? I won't have a grade for it - as i've done 2/3 modules?

[ArisR16]

Got my results today. Got a B, C, C and a U. Will be trying my upmost in improving other grades except for the U which I am dropping. The 'U', I got was in a subject that is irrelevant to my course that I want to study at University. Should I hide it or is it better off entering on the UCAS form? Will it also affect what universities think of me if I enter the grade?
