AS grades.

So I am applying for university this year, but I am so confused as to how to write my AS grades (in the education section)
My school have cashed in my AS grades, where do I write this? I want the unis to know what grades I got at AS Level.
Also then where do I write the 4 subjects I am continuing to A2? I didn't drop a subject.

Thanks :smile:

IF your carrying all your AS's onto a2, enter it as an A2 and put the grade as pending. You can enter ur unit marks for the first 3 units if u want to show Unis, or u can ask ur referee to add it to his reference.

hey so im in the same situation and i did what you both suggested. I put my overall A2 grade as pending and entered the first 3 units of my AS, leaving the remaining 3 as pending, however, now it says ' grades are mandatory for completed examinations" ....help? :smile:

SAME!

you may have put that date as june this year, as you won't complete the A level till next june, you have to put June 2009, therfore it's not a completed examination and requires no grades.

Mind you, You can only stick the unit marks down if ur AS has been cashed in and your not re-sitting.

They wont know ur AS grade, but they can work it out if u put all 3 units marks in.

But I thought that if you cashed in your AS levels then you list them all firstly as ASs and then do an overall grade and them add them again as A2s pending

I'm pretty sure that this is correct.

You can do either. If you put your unit grades for AS and the A2 units as pending, the Uni can see what you got for AS cos it'll be obvious that someone who got AAA will have got an A overall in that subject, for example.

Why can't they just make it simple.

Yes.

For example, my UCAS form had something along the lines of this on it:

AS French: A
AS Further Maths: Pending
AS General Studies: B
AS Mathematics: A
AS Music Technology: A
AS Psychology: A

A-level French: Pending
A-level Further Mathematics: Pending
A-level General Studies: Pending
A-level Mathematics: Pending
A-level Psychology: Pending

...and so on.

If your school's cashed in your AS grades you have to declare them separately to the full A-levels (but you don't need to put in unit marks).

You can't add UMS get them written in your reference if they are good
You add unit grades in when you add a subject and add each unit

But what if the person has ABB or even AAB? Without UMS marks there's no way to tell whether they got an A or B overall. Guessing's probably even harder if the grades are dispersed: BCE, for example.

If your grade isn't cashed in at AS Level can you put the overall grade as pending but still enter individual module grades? When would you put the certificated date as? Thanks - the UCAS website really should be more explanatory.
