    Hi, I have a burning question to ask, do you have to state all A level retakes even when you apply to university after you finish the courses? Do Cambridge require you to state all ums marks for the units you have sat even when your finish your A levels? Thanks for reading this.

    Not sure about the first question, probably not.
    But to answer your second question about Cambridge, the answer is yes.

    I know that when I applied, you only had to tell them if you'd resat a unit after it had been aggregated - if you resat a unit before aggregation, then your best mark was aggregated and the universities couldn't tell which units (or how many resits of those units) contributed to the final mark.

    Thanks, can you retake AS exams, not take them to A2?
