    What does obtained in one sitting mean for Big 4 firms?
    Basically what the title says, the big4 firms state that A levels 300 ucas points from the top 3 obtained in one sitting. Does that mean that you CANNOT resit any modules? Or does i mean that you can resit them but it has to be within 2 years?

    Thanks in advance

    Basically im looking into graduate schemes and im worried if that applies to ALL grad schemes? Or is it just for the Big 4 firms? (waiting for results in August )

    Hey, I think it means first time around. No resits.

    Not 100% though.

    In one sitting I was made aware meant that it was within a two year period.

    As in, you sat it within the normal timetable, one sitting of an A-level which takes two years.

    I would expect that it is that the A-levels have been taken within 2 years, and not that you can't resit individual modules within those 2 years.
