    What happens if you resit your AS chemistry coursework in A2, but does not improve?
    I am doing the OCR chemistry A level qualification . Last year (AS level), i got 45/60 UMS in my chemistry coursework. But this year I resit the coursework. Bt unfortunately I got less raw marks than last year, so the chances are i will get less UMS as well. So my teacher withdrew me from my resit. But I had already paid for it and I didn't get the money back. But money isn't the problem here. I don't know what happens now. Will I get my 45 UMS from last year or what?:confused:

    Yeah, your best UMS grades are posted, even if you did worse in your most recent resit. So if you have 45/60 UMS from last year for AS, then it stays as 45/60 UMS.

    Hope this helped =]
