I retook 2 chemistry modules and 2 biology modules. I think it was ABB I got originally.
And no worries. Once upon a time I was in your position.

I really can't remember. Best to check with your tutor or sixth form head.

What UMS did you get for the 3 subjects?
I am not sure because I haven't finished them but realistically, this is what I am aiming for. obviously, if I don't get these grades, my question would probably be invalid but yep, I'm hoping now realistically ABB!
Most people will get predicted higher than the results they get at AS. Just explain to your teacher you need them to predict you an A for university and you'll work harder next year. A lot of people get in with grades lower than the entry requirements

I got BCCC at AS and got offers from 5 Russell Groups for Law so i wouldn't worry, they'll give you offers on the off chance you resit and raise your grades because it's no skin off their nose if you don't achieve your offer in the end

I did a third year and got worse grades than that- managed to get 4 offers (withdrew from my 5th) including Sheffield and Exeter. Don't worry about it 
Phew!! Haha, I feel a lot better. Thank you!!

Oh wow. I'm a mature student. Doing two alevels in one year now and my 3rd one on my gap year whilst travelling as my current college didn't allow me to take politics as it was completely full. I don't think I would have managed 3 intensive alevels in one year anyway!
My ucas is gonna look so weird lol! I will have two alevels and one as pending(the Poltics)
The reason btw I'm asking about retakes is incase I don't do too well in my exams in June and want to retake on my gap year whilst doing my politics!
I know....my situation is weird...mainly because after GCSEs I left education an worked! I decided to come back this year though....hence why I am doing two intensive alevels.....

i got BBBB at AS level, predicted AAA for A level and got offers from Imperial, UCL, York, Bath and Manchester. And my course didn't interview. Just make sure your personal statement is really good
With regards to personal statement...what's the best way to write it...
Talk about your subject, why you want to study it and what you hope to learn....?

Talk about your subject, why it interests you and what particular areas you like. yeah, talk about what you hope to learn and what you hope to do in future. I advise you put in books you've read about the subject or scientific journals ect., but you have to make sure your comfortable to talk about them in an interview. Most of it should be about the course but talk about about extra curricular activities and write what you learned from then, don't just list them.
