UCAS Apply 2014 FAQ ***Look in HERE first!***

Thank-you for replying. Would I do this on the same subject, or create a new one?

Also, where it says '(other)', should I put my predicted grade for that topic/subject/exam

Put it down as a new subject. (Check with Minerva in case I'm misunderstanding what you mean, though.) You don't put any predicted grades in your part of the form. Your referee puts them into the reference.

I don't know who Minerva is, sorry.

What I'm trying to say is:

for my AS Level grade in Religious Studies I got a C overall, but I got an A in Philosophy of Religion and a U in Religious Ethics and I'm unsure on what to put.

Should I put my grades down (including the U in Ethics), or should I put it as pending, as I am going to resit this part of the course in spring?

OR:

should I do the whole R.E subject, putting A and U for it, then add another AS Level in RE and then just add the Ethics, then use 'pending and leave it as that'?

Look at the top of this forum at the stickies!! Minerva is a goddess!
This will answer all your questions much more thoroughly than I can, especially the section on module grades:

Thanks for this, looks fab. Could you tell me what I'm supposed to do if my Sixth Form does not 'cash in' my AS grades until the end of next year?

What does cash in mean in reference to your sixth form? I'm a Private Student and not heard of this term :-(

I have a question.

I took exams in January 2013 for Psych As and got Us in both.
I re took the exams in May in both As units and got Es. Do I declare the Us?

Basically its like telling the exam board 'Ok mate, i'm completely done with the subject for now' - Basically saying your not going to sit any exams in the subject. This means its all good for you to receive the certificate in that qualification.

Basically 90% of dudes will do this for their A2 exams, as they will be off to university and do not want to see another A level paper again.

How will unis see that you've done the HAT test? You do that in November, will it be added to the ucas form or something?! Surely Oxford just collect the scores etc from that separately

As you will find through a quick search of the threads on this topic, all universities have to give equal consideration to all applications received before Jan 15th. Ucas would be chucking penalties at them harshly if they didn't. Some universities operate the 'gathered field' policy and don't even start looking until after Jan 15th. Others will make offers to the definites and reject the hopeless straight away and sit on the rest until after Jan 15th. Whatever is going to happen to your application will happen to it regardless of when you send it, as long as you meet that deadline.

I did my A-Levels in 2012, and did AS in 2011 so I have all of my grades already. Maths and Further Maths were among the four A-Levels I studied. All of my A-Levels were on the same exam board so I have two certificates, one for 2011 (AS) and one for 2012 (A2)

However, I've noticed that AS Maths and AS Further Maths are listed twice, once on each certificate. In other words, it seems I was certificated for these two AS-Levels in both 2011 and then again 2012. I'm gonna guess that this is because of how all of the modules get moved around to maximise the grade.

My question is: does this mean I need to enter AS Maths and AS Further Maths twice? Once for 2011 and again for 2012? Even though the grades were the same both times (AA)? Cheers.
