    I don't think they can tell if your result was a retake or not. Even if they can, it doesn't matter. I'm at KCL and I retook loads of modules including C1.

    Sure, in AS levels I got ABBC in maths physics chemistry further maths respectively (I'd missed an exam in further maths, and told them so, not sure if that made a difference). In A2 I got A*AB in maths further maths and physics respectively. GCSE's were something like Maths, English lit, English lang, Chemistry, Biology all A's, physics A*, history + R.E were B's, C in French and a merit in DiDa (I.C.T. basically) which I didn't bother putting on my application.
