Check each one
Some say A levels ‘in one sitting’
Others say ‘AAA taken within two years prior to application’
each medical school is different

Are you applying to medicine this cycle or next?

The reason I ask is that rather than rely on websites which draw this information together you will need to do your own research as they are sometimes incorrect.

I would read the admissions policies and treble check the resit and related info on how long it takes to get your A levels. Then those that look reasonable with your UCAT I would email them and ask. Set your issue out very clearly.

If you have extenuating circumstances? If so poss mention it. It’s a tricky one because it’s a resit of year 12 not year 13 and not an A2 retake. So a lot of the resit policies may be talking about A2 retakes.

This may take some time to get an answer back. Plus if you have ex circs then the deadline for those is often earlier than the UCAS deadline.
