I would assume they'll take into consideration your predicted grades in the other subjects etc. They probably wouldn't hold it against you too much. Why not consider carrying it on and resitting the exam in January? Universities cannot see your AS grade if you're doing a subject for A2 as far as I'm aware (this is what I was told by the person handling the UCAS stuff at my school).


I'm not sure.

But if they know I do English Literature, Sociology Psychology and History obviously they're going to give me an offer based on AAA English Literature/History/Psychology which would **** me up completely. And because I'm bad at English, I might scrape a C because I got a high B in my coursework.

Okay, well I have attempted to attach some photos of Senghennydd Court, Cardiff Bay and The Physics/various other subjects building. I haven't got any pictures of actual rooms, mainly just buildings. I only went for a quick visit when I remembered to take photos, I forgot to take any on the visit day haha :smile:

A friend of mine who did 4 A-levels this year was offered AAA or BBBB for Law. I think, I'll check next time I speak to her :tongue:

It says they give AABB offers but I don't think it's BBBB.

And I don't think I can get a B in Lit.

Aww thanks :smile: I don't have any pictures, but I have seen the rooms. They are a bit smaller than I expected, but they comfortably fit in a bed, desk and wardrobe. Tbh, how much time will we spend there anyway? It's only for a year. I have visited a friend who lives in Colum! It was really nice there. I don't mind answering any questions :smile:

Colum is rather nice! I like the kitchen layout (bit weird, I know). I have only visited the physics and engineering buildings i'm afraid.
