What grades do they look at as personally if it's gcse I don't think they would be accurate representations for a persons "intelligence" for what they are now at 18 than 16

What do you mean? The official AS exams are still taken at the end of year 12 which can then be used in the application process in the beginning if year 13.

Your referee will need to provide information on what's been used to determine your predicted grades if you don't take AS exams.

I'm only doing A2 so Unis will be looking at my GCSE results and my A2 predictions along with teacher references to determine my academic aptitude.
We also did mock exams at the end of this year, even though those results won't be going to Universities, its a good indication for our teachers to choose our predictions and what to write in our references.
PS. You are only just above a year older when you send your UCAS application, you do it at the start of Year 13 and not the end, so GCSEs are still a pretty good indicator of your intelligence.

If I mess up on my AS and I am able to still take it in year 12 can I retake it in year 13?

Any official AS grades (even multiple retakes) have to be declared on your ucas application.

I mainly meant how the education changes in depth and how difficult it is compared to gcse and although this may not be a big difference maturity

I just finished year 11 and my teachers said my year (I think we may be the first year) take both AS and A2 at the end of year 13 none at year 12

However, not all subjects have been reformed such as maths so in that respect your year is the first year where ALL subjects are reformed (to my knowledge).
Nevertheless AS exams still exist (however this is optional so not all schools do it) and they are taken at the end of year 12. You then use those AS grades on your UCAS application but the grades you get in them don't count towards your overall A Level (if linear). You then sit the full Linear A Level in year 13 for a fresh new grade.
