If you don't want to study english don't go to SOAS.

Have you looked elsewhere for law clearing places?

I understand that for the overall grades, but this is just the one paper. I know I didn't get an overall A*, I just don't understand why what I have on my results sheet isn't the same as what's on AQA's website. Who would I contact about this, my school, or should I email the exam board?


That's what I just explained to you!!! A* isn't a module grade, your sheat isn't wrong. The mark scheme shows A* because it makes its easier for candidates to spot and identity not because it's the A* module grade because that doesn't exist.
Hi just wondering what cambridge policy on AS UMS averages is with the new linear A levels, got my AS results today and only 2 of the 4 have a UMS score so will they look at the average of those 2 or do it differently? Thanks:smile:
That's true
But then there's the argument...what makes you think they will take me next year
Incase they reject me
got AAC, idk how to feel

I'm not a huge fan of private universities but http://www.law.ac.uk/clearing/ is one exception. Their London LLB is in clearing and they have the industry contacts that offer a good advantage.

It isn't your typical university experience but it's worth considering.

SOAS *do* accept transfer applications into year 2 of their LLB. There's no guarantee that you'd be able to swap universities in year 2 but you'd have a stronger chance than you would on a BA English course.

You hit the A* requirement for the module but the actual A* grade only exists for the full qualification. It's saying that this module meets the requirement you needed to hit to get the A*.

They may not take you next year - you may have to look elsewhere or assess your options that way but there's no point taking a course you're not sure about.

I'm 99.9% sure this is because a single paper cannot be graded A*

Yep. You do. Whatever choice you make you'll be fine :smile:
Thank you so much for your advice. Going to think it through
Either go Brunel and try and transfer for second year
Or take a year out and retake to try and get A*s
what's this about nandos giving free sides out ???

Exactly no guarantees
I'm probably going to retake tbh because I really want to go to SOAS
Thing is I'm not even sure I can retake with the new alevel changes
Still no news from my firm choice...
The waiting game sucks
