If you had never retook an exam...

I've only retaken a maths module so far- stats (eugh). I got a C first time, a good A the second time. Meant my maths AS was an A (just!) instead of a B.

I got AAB.

Without resits I would have still gotten AAB.

Although the A in Psychology would have been much lower (I got like 564/600 UMS).

Although you could argue that all the extra revision I did for Psychology was the reason I did so well in my A2 exams (I aced the synoptic paper). So it could well have been ABB.

Geography and maths would be the same. Physics would be lower :sad:

My AS sociology would be a B instead of an A.

I got a C in one module and retook it and I got an A, and I got an A in the second module too.

Instead of A*BB would have been ACB

Exactly the same. I did 3 resits: S2 (71 to 78), M1 (80 to 83) and a french module (low A to slightly higher A) and they did not affect my overall grades.

If I remember rightly from what I resat (it's been a while now :tongue:

, before you whippersnappers had your A* grades), I would've got a B rather than an A in chemistry, but I don't think my other two resits effected anything. Still would've got into my uni of choice, as I only needed 3 A's (so maths, further maths, physics even without chemistry).

An A* in Eng Lit and you can't even write a sentence. I think you meant to ask If you had never RETAKEN an exam....

Oh dear.

Yeah, what's more ironic is that I berate people in my sig for not being able to form sentences. I could use a mixture of tiredness/hyperglycaemia as an excuse, but meh.

I would have still got an A* in further maths, all my other A2 modules averaged at over 90

but if i got my history coursework remarked/redid it i would have pulled myself upto A*A*A*A*A*a, which would be cool, and if my school let me, I couold have pulled up my averages by 5% and had no exam results below 95%, which would also be cool

Not done any retakes.

If I could have 'retaken' (i.e. put effort into) my history coursework I'd have had an A* there, could probably have gone up to an A* in English too if I didn't hate ****** poetry so ******* much.

**** you Philip Larkin you miserable, bald headed ****.

My grades would be the same but I'd have got a lot more stressed about them!

Don't have the numbers to hand but reckon I'd have got ABC instead of ABB. Only did 2 retakes (both in the same subject) and both went up a fair bit

Only change would be maths down to A. However this is only because I sat it a year early, so it's kind of fair anyway; I hardly re-sat the AS modules.

toast.

I would have 8A*s and 3As at GCSE instead of 9 and 2. My AS results would be the same.

Mine would be the same. I only resat one exam which I already had a low A in (had been a B when I put in for resit, but our whole years marks were put up slightly afterwards), and went up to 100% (No A*s in my day :biggrin:

). Meant second year was easier though, as I didnt need as high marks to get my A I needed.
