Great, so I can't even uncertify them any more? Fantastic.
Thanks for the info, terrifed about tommorow and not sure that my results (or me) are going to be good enough. How come private schools get the choice and us state schoolers don't?
Use this thread for any discussion and questions related to AS results you have received.
When you say cashing in AS-levels, what if I'm in a special situation re: modules? I've taken 8 modules for maths, and you need 3 for an AS, 3 for an A2. Does it matter that much how I cash them in - will my teachers guide me on how to do it?

Your exam board will sort it automatically - your results slip will have your individual module grades and an overall grade for your AS/A2. They pick the modules for each qualification to give you the best possible grade, so long as it meets the requirements of e.g. C1 & C2 for AS.

Your exam board should decide what modules exactly to cash for you to give you the best possible grade in maths and if you are taking it FM.
You are in an unusual situation because most who resit do so after A2. So some of the circumstances may be different. The following Universities accept resitters. They each have certain criteria which needs to be met.
UEA- BBB in first sitting and then A*AA in resat subjects
Liverpool- CCC in first sitting and then AAA. Applicants must acknowledge and reflect on the need to resit in personal statement.
Lancaster - CCC in first sitting and then AAA. Applicants must acknowledge and reflect on the need to resit in personal statement.
Soton - Only allowed to resit one A level subject
BSMS- Required to have achieved AAB first sitting then A*AA
Keele- AAA/A*AB must apply with achieved grades.
Manchester - AAB in first sitting and then A*AA. Applicants must acknowledge and reflect on need to resit in personal statement .
Peninsula - AAB first sitting then AAA/A*AA
As you can see there are a fair few who consider resitters but on the basis of resitting after A2. So you would have to ask each university if they would consider you. Out of the unis I have mentioned, Keele would consider you, but that would be after your 3 years of A levels. Hope this helps. Peninsula - Well Keele accept resitters but you are required to achieve your grades first and then apply.
So basically i got my grades today and i didn't do to well im in A2. Should i retake the exams and apply next year or apply this year saying im going to retake? Should i then book my ukcat? thanks

It would depend on what grades you've got firstly. You would apply this year filling in your UCAS with the achieved grade as well as the predicted grade for the resit. You would also need to sit the UKCAT this year.
There are some universities who have lower grade boundaries for people who come from a disadvantaged background. I know UEA and Southampton have a 6 year course, but the subject requirements are like the normal 5 year course ones

Hi guys, sorry to bother you but I was wondering whether I still have a chance to apply for medicine at nottingham, keele and leicester. I got abbb, b in chemistry maths and english and a in biology. Im predicted (for my a2) a*aa , and I was wondering, based solely on grades, do I still have a chance to apply for medicine? By the way, I got 8 A* and 4 A's for my gcses. Thanks

ABBB is not a particularly bad set of AS results, don't worry. You still have a good chance for medicine as long as your school predicts you AAA, which you say they have. You can resit AS modules in your A2 year to pull up your UMS average.

If you get AAB , but Predicted A*AA , what are my chances?? Which ones would the Uni take more into consideration? Also i missed the A () by 2 ums?? Remark?

AAB at AS and predicted A*AA? That should be fine.
Talk to your teachers about the remark, it sounds like that might be a good idea. If worst comes to worst you can always resit AS modules in your A2 year.

Predictions (so long as they're realistic) count for a lot. You can resit AS modules in your A2 to bring up your UMS.

Yeah AS results. How does a resit help? Since we have to submit actual AS grades in our UCAS form by October.. Does writing resit pending make a difference?

No, doesn't help in that way but it might make it easier to meet your predictions.
So i want to apply for Medicine , i got my AS grades as AAB , i knew i messed up Chemistry , and i missed the A in that by 2 UMS , do you think a remark would help?? I am planning on sending both unit 1 and 2 for it. My predicted are mostly going to be A*AA or a more unlikely A*A*A. Which will the uni take more into consideration , my predicted or actual AS grades. So if hopefully i do well enough on my UKCAT exam , do i have a good chance of offers? Also since i have to enter my grades into my UCAS , will writing resit pending for one chemistry module make a difference?
Replying to your PM here so that others can use the same advice if it applies to them.
A remark could help, or it could potentially lower your marks also. That's the risk. However it might be worth it, and you can always resit modules from AS in your A2 year if you so desire.
Which the uni takes into consideration more depends on the medical school, Cambridge will place a lot of emphasis on your AS results, whereas BL will look more at your predictions, to name a few examples.
It may make a difference, but you should aim to make sure that the rest of your application makes the medical school want to interview you and offer you a place anyway

The end result - your A2 grades - is what matters to get you into medical school or not. If you're resitting an AS module, you're doing something that's likely to improve your final grades. The fact that you're resitting shows that you don't think that result reflects your ability in that subject, which is what they're trying to assess when they look at your application.
