You can't 'decline' results any more. What you get is what has to go on your UCAS, together with any plans you may have for resits.

I have to say that it makes me really angry that state school kids have to declare their AS results when independent school kids don't. :frown:

Those kids are usually at considerable advantage already, without the ability to 'hide' slip ups, and be assessed on predicted A2 grades!

Oh please don't be silly. Most independent schools certificate in exactly the same way as state schools do. It has always been a minority in both sectors that haven't certificated in Year 12, and unis have always been wise to the reasons why schools might not want to do it.

Sorry if this has been asked before; but I'd love some help please.
Just got my AS grades. How do I distinguish between AS and A2 on the Education section, or will it automatically assume that it's AS?
Also is the grade I put in the very first box, (with the subject, date, awarding body) my AS grade?
What do I put in the module boxes? Is for example, the practical in the WJEC Biology considered a stand alone module?

Very grateful for any help. Thanks

You enter the AS as one qualification, and then the A level as a pending qualification (which includes both AS and A2 modules. The overall grade goes in the very first box. Each module has a title - ask your teachers if you aren't sure what it is.

Thank you!

So, for the GCE Advanced qualifications, do you think I should just put pending for all the six modules? Even the AS ones that I have grades for and won't be re-taking?

If the system will let you put in grades for the modules you've already done, then do it.

Hi guys, I just received my AS results and not all went to plan ( I got C, D and E if anyone is wondering) and now that you have to declare your results I'm just wondering has these set of results put my place at a university in jeopardy. I am quite worried that I will not be accepted anywhere.

How do you enter AS grades onto your UCAS application? I have my four GCE Advanced Level qualifications set up, but I thought they were for the entire two years? So apart from putting in my individual unit scores, how can I show what my AS grades are? I can't put them in the 'Grade' section because the date of my qualifications is June 2012, and how would they know that I'm not referring to a full A2 score?

Also, I want to re-sit an AS module, so would I have to create an entire new Biology qualification and make it exactly the same but put 'pending' on the unit that I'm not satisfied with?

This? ^ my teacher has confused me majorly about AS grades on UCAS

Alongside my GCSEs, I had to complete some BTEC/ vocational courses, which are of no value whatsoever for me and the courses I will be applying for. DO these still have to be declared?

(Expecting the answer to be yes...).

You can select an AS option from the list.

I have a kind of similar question. I finished my psych a2 a year early just got results now :smile:

, but for some reason the examining officer decided not to cash it in. She said itd be better to keep as's with as's and a2's with a2's. I'm pretty sure this is bs (tell me if im wrong), but now that its not cashed I cant declare it on ucas. Is it too late too cash in the results? If yes, than what do I do now? If not, does anyone know the deadline for cashing in? Thanks

You have to cash them in because ALL state schools now have to do this (its related to funding, for one) meaning these grades will be declared on your UCAS form. Independent schools do not have to do this (although the vast majority do) because they are obviously funded by themselves rather than the state, so they can do what they want a bit more whereas all state schools will now be certificating all of their AS subjects.

Most private schools do certificate results at the time they are taken. Schools that wish to figure well in league tables are now essentially forced to certificate results at the time they are taken as they can only contribute to league table results at that time. Otherwise they are wasted as far as as the school is concerned.
