Help with the 'Education' section of UCAS Apply (from a student in New Zealand)

Hi there,

I'm a student from New Zealand applying for universities in the UK, and I am currently taking three A levels (English Lit, Spanish, Geography) and one AS (Classical Studies).

I'm not entirely sure on how to enter these qualifications in Apply - for example, do I enter my AS grades for the subjects I am continuing at A level, or just enter the A level subjects as 'pending'?

Also, I studied Graphic Design last year at AS level and am not continuing it to full A level; do I just enter this as an AS under the 'AS level (NEW - first award 2001)' qualification?

Please bear with me, I'm not from the UK and don't have a clue about how these things work :o:

Thanks

I believe you just write 'pending' for the ASs continuing to A2 level. But the Graphic Design? Yep, 'AS level (New 2001)'.

Calling up UCAS would be the best thing to do but I live in NZ and also I heard that UCAS's advice on this contradicts what teachers at school are telling their students to do... arghh!!! :mad:
