Low AS level grades want to improve in A2

Hello,
Recently I received my AS results I wasn't very pleased I got DEU (travel and tourism, geography, computing)
I know I can do way better than that, I just felt that AS are very similar to GCSE, but its not, its a big step up. I will continue to A2 in year 13 (sixth form) anyone improved they grades dramatically at A2 level ?
My plan for A2 is revise each day after school, because I want to get into good uni where they require BBC
Need some answers please

Don't know what you need answering really but yeah, it should be added motivation to study even harder next year.I'm in a similar position to you, I managed to get BBCC and I was intending to apply for medicine at Cambridge, Imperial and UCL. Although I'm having to take a gap year, it's added motivation to me to turn them grades into A's or even A*s.

Good luck with it and always keep your eye on the goal.

But you do realise you can't go to Cambridge anymore, right?

It may be possible once I have obtained my full A2 results. I'll probably apply to Oxford instead; I'll need more clarification from Cambridge if I do well at A2 and apply with them.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but alot of the upper tier unis you mentioned frown upon A levels in 3 years.

No no no, I'll be resitting a few of the AS modules when I sit my A2 ones. So I'll be resitting them next June meaning it will be classed as two years. I've e-mailed Oxford and Imperial admission tutors who have said they are fine with candidates retaking within the two years of A-Level study.

Oh sorry I misunderstood, but don't forget that you will still need to declare your AS grades on your UCAS application - your current grades. Cambridge is VERY VERY VERY strict on UMS, in fact when you apply to Cambridge, they give you a separate sheet to fill in for your UMS, this is what is going to hinder your chances the most. Most if not all Cambridge applicants have 90%+ UMS.

Oxbridge don't accept resits.

But when I apply, I will have completed my A2's so on my UCAS form, they will see that I have completed my A Levels. If I need to place my AS Results, I could but the grades will change (he says hopefully) as I am resitting them next June.

I don't think the 90% UMS is factored in if I have got A2 results and I'm applying in a gap year because I have A2 results, not predictions.

The important thing is, they aren't looking at predicted A2 results, they are looking at concrete ones.

Terribly sorry, I completely misread all your comments. So you're retaking AS modules with A2 modules next year. And then having a gap year? Well in that case, best of luck to you!

They don't accept resits over 3 years. Modular resits are fine as long as they are within the 2 year A Level course.
