UCAS Retake Problem

If you have the certificate for it as an A or its been cashed in as an A then put it down as that.

You've redone it now so your A is essentially your new grade. Like I retook my AS history exams and replaced an E with an A. So my A is now my new grade for history because it's been redone

So, there's no need to put the B grade?

You need to declare all grades, including the first attempt. If you don't then you application could be cancelled.

No, I don't think so. I'm not putting my first grade anyway

Did a teacher advise you to do this? As Juno seems to be contradicting you, I'm just trying to work out whose is right. Thanks again for the help!

If you retook within 2 years then I think you can get away from resits though.

For example, pretend in Maths there are 3 exams. Unit 1 you sit in Year 10 and the other 2 units in Year 11.

If you did terribly in Unit 1 then you can retake it in Year 11 (so you have completed it within 2 years). You don't have to declare that you resat Unit 1.

BUT, if you resit Unit 2 or 3 then that means you are resitting outside of the 2 years. Which means it took you over 2 years to get your new grade so you must declare both the grades.

Okay, so I did my history AS and got an E grade. I decided to retake both my AS exams during my A2 year and so I then got an A for it from the retakes. Do I have to declare my E grade and my A grade, even though they were done within two years?

If your school cashed in the AS (you got a certificate for it) then you need to declare the E grade.

You may have sat the exams within 2 years but because AS levels are qualifications in their own right, you must declare it.

But well done on improving from an E to an A.

Since you already have the A Level grade (unlike most people who only get predicted grades) and you sat the A Level within 2 years, I doubt universities will hold the E against you.

So how would I put that on the application? Would I enter the two different ASs or would I enter the E as an AS and include the A within the A Level qualification?

Thank you

As per the OP, I did AS Critical Thinking in Year 10. I retook one module in Year 11. So, would I need to put both grades?

Do you know if your school/college will cash in the new AS? If so then you need to enter the AS twice.

If not (like me) then you only enter it once (the E).

You need to include the A with the A Level qualification.

Ask your teacher because I'm only 80% sure that I'm right about this part.
