A level resits in 2018
Watch
Announcements
Hi there,
My son is doing his A2s this year (Economics, Maths, English Lit) and hopefully he will get the grades to go to his preferred uni. But if all doesn't go to plan I just wondered what the situation is with resits in 2018 especially in the context of the recent A level reforms. What will be different in June 2018 in terms of resits? Will you still be able to resist individual modules?
Any guidance gratefully appreciated.

If in England, Economics and English Lit are already the new Linear A levels. If he wants to resit he will have to repeat all of the exams.
Maths has not yet reformed and modular unit resits will be available in summer 2018 and 2019.

Do you know about if it is possible to retake biology and psychology A2 again in 2018 if someone first took them in 2017?

I do biology, psychology and English language (in England) for a level - if I don't pass would it be possible to retake my exams next year (June 2018) I wouldn't mind doing all of the exams but would I have to re-do coursework?

I am also a bit confused, if I have done my geography A2 2017, which had not changed to the new spec yet so I have an official AS grade, could I retake the A2?
EDIT From my understanding now i'm pretty sure I can.

If you have only taken the AS then you won't be allowed to take the A2.
The timeline for legacy resists (old specification resits) is given here.

I'm doing my A level exams (AS and A2) right now in the UK. I do biology, psychology and English lit which are all linear. Is there any way I can retake these exams in June 2018? I have been looking everywhere but can't find a clear answer.

I'm not sure what you mean by (AS and A2) - A2 does not exist for linear A levels - but I presume you just mean you are taking A level exams. You can take A level exams again next year if you want - you have to re-sit all 3 exams for a subject but can carry forward the NEA element (the assessed practicals).

Please tell me how I could retake the exams in 2018, because I really couldn't find anything about being able to retake linear exams. Would I have to pay to do them in an exam center or something like that? I wanted to retake biology next year

Which country are you in? If you are in England then you must be taking linear A levels for these 3 subjects and the AS and A levels are separate.

If you are taking linear A levels then there is absolutely no requirement to take the AS exams at any time. They do not form part of the A level assessment. If you want to re-sit next year then you just re-sit all of the A level exams.

There is no A2 in linear A levels. If you took A2 this year then (it was almost certainly a re-sit and) you were sitting the last re-sit opportunity of the old A levels and you cannot re-sit it again as the specification has ended

If I don't get the correct grades this year for Economics can I retake in summer 2018 or will it have to be summer 18 AND summer 2019? Not sure what is meant by linear and non linear but the exams I took for Economics last year didn't count so I'm being tested on all of the AS and A2 content right now.
Maths is different so the exams I took last year DO count towards the overall A level grade. If i want to retake Maths in summer 2018 is that possible? Or would I have to do some in summer 2019 too?
Hope that makes sense, thanks if you can help
