    Retakes at A-level
    I have been given an offer of A*AA (A* being in Maths) from UCL. My predicted grades are A*A*A* and I want to try and make sure I get them. In one of my January exams (for a subject that wasn't Maths) I got just shy of an A* in one module, so decided at the time to retake it, to try and make sure I could get an A* (even though I don't need it for my offer). Will UCL have a problem with this?

    No, they won't even know that you did.

    Thought as much, can't see them even being bothered if they did know, it's not like I even need it to meet the offer.
