Failing A levels and reappling for Uni next year?

I haven't done enough revision for my A2 exams, and am fairly certain I will fail them. If I retake them next year and reapply for Uni will the fact that I failed them this year be taken into consideration and reflect badly on me in my application?!

Only for the "elite" universities & courses. 99% of universities don't mind at all.

Does that just include places like Oxford and Cambridge? Do places like Bristol and Cardiff count as "elite" in this context?

Cambridge don't mind resits as long as it isn't a large amount of resits. They state this on their site somewhere.

Yes, one or maybe two modules only, unless there are extenuating circumstances.

It depends on the course too.

Just wondering, what about the new linear a levels, because you can't retake individual exams so would they not accept a retake for a whole a level because effectively it is comprised of multiple modules?
