Failed my AS exam can i still get into university?

If these are just internal exams, the good news is that the grades don't go on your application.

Ideally you need to go and speak to your head of sixth about your extenuating circumstances. TBH, it would have probably been better to mention these before your exams, but if you can take in some evidence (e.g. a doctors note because you were ill) then this may help you show the exams don't reflect your true ability.

The next thing to do is to talk to your subject teachers. Ask where you went wrong and what you can do to improve next year- ask what you need to do over the summer to get a good predicted grade, and then do it! How lenient they are will vary from school to school, and also if they do agree these exams are just a blip, or if they think you are genuinely struggling. But talking to them in a collaborative way will help.

Are these actual AS exams- as in externally examined qualifications? Or just in school end of year 12 exams, I'm just wondering because you mention having grades back already? Actual AS results will need to be declared on your UCAS form, but if you have decent GCSEs and predictions, having poor AS results won't be ideal, but you should still be able to get a uni place, especially with a strong reference from your school.

However, it sounds like these are just internal exams- in which case, unis never need to know about the results. As long as you work with your teachers to get them to give you reasonable predicted grades, you should be able to get a uni place. If you do better than expected, there's always adjustment on results day, as well.

It sounds like your psychology teacher is willing to give you a second chance, which is great. Hopefully your other teachers are as generous, and they will help you out.

Is it possible for me to get kicked out of my school if i fail these exams? They're internal and I believe you're right when you say that they only stay within the school, do you think there may be a chance they would kick me out?

Is it a State or Private school? If it's a state school they would struggle with asking you to leave but could ask you to drop subjects or resit y12. If it's a private school then it's down to their internal policies.

You/you parents probably need to discuss this with the school.
