I got a B at AS chem: unit 1 i got 70 ums/100ums ( this what literally just a about a B) unit 2 107ums/140ums (% ums of an A) and in my empa, 38/60 (a middle C) so i got a B overall. I need an A at A2 so i think i should resit unit 1 because i feel like i could definitely bring that mark up to an A hopefully, i dont know if its worth doing unit 2 again?

Since you can get up to 30 UMS from one and 33 UMS from the other exam I'd suggest picking the easier one and resitting that, or both if you really wish. -

Yes. I got a B at AS Chem and a B at A2 Chem without any resits (ISAs!!!)

I'd recommend against a resit - I got a B in Maths and Physics at AS, and I pulled them both up to high As without resits at A2 by just focusing on A2

What is empa? I do IALs so my unit 3 is a written test instead of a lab hands on test. I managed to get full marks for that. I would suggest since you have quite a number of possible marks to gain from unit 3 to do that since it seems units 3 and 6 are respectively easier than units 1,2 / 4,5. Unless even if you do get say, 55/60 for unit 3 and still won't get an A. Then of course don't do that.
If you're not comfortable with redoing unit 3, then redo unit 1. I don't think you should pile on too many retakes at once. You might just end up not improving at all since your attention is so split.Last edited by jackien1; 07-11-2015 at 16:19. -
