A Level Targets

Hi I was just wondering, are your A2 Level targets, based on which you get offers from universities, based on the results you get at GCSE or at AS Level?

Solely AS - however, if they want to look at your track record in a subject they may reference your GCSEs for further insight.

Mostly AS unless, like in my case, you want to aim higher then they take your GCSE into account.

Example;
I want an A at A2 English Lang/Lit, I got a D at AS so they predicted me a C for A2.
When I said I wanted an A my teacher then looked at my GCSE English grade and said it might not be possible because I only got a B but because I seem determined they put my predicted A2 up to a B.

Hope that makes sense to people other than me :redface:

You're being predicted for A2a whole two grades higher than you got at AS?! :zomg: the teachers at my school hardly ever predict one grade higher

Yeah most people in my college do because AS tends to be a huge kick up the a--- but it does help that I was only 3 UMS off a C and have been getting A/B's in class work all year :smile:
