Do you mean even for Cambridge, A levels in England won't be able to provide UMS?

Cambridge 'My Cambridge Application' asks for UMS and it doesn't ask whether it's International A Levels or not.

On the other hand, does your question imply that Russell group unis ask for UMS if I took International A Levels?

If you don’t have UMS (which English A levels don’t) then you can’t provide it.

Really? I didn't know that! That's very interesting that those who don't do English A levels may get an advantage if their scores are higher, or the other way around if the score is lower.

I'm planning to self-study via NEC(Edexcel) and Oxbridge Home Learning(AQA). These are English A levels, not International ones, right?
