Apply through UCAS

Hi, I am an A Levels student.

I am going to take A2 Physics this october/november exam series, and I wished I could get A overall, but right now just 4 days before the paper, I strongly feel that I am going to get B.
But Since I have one more chance to sit exam in next May 2020, I am planning to apply UK universities with predicted grades in may june 2020 exam session.
So my question is, Can I put Physics as pending and put May2020 as an expected date of exam even I already took A2 in october? And apply through Predicted grade of May 2020? Would UCAS know about my October Physics grade?

You have to list all qualifications you have attempted, whatever the grade, and all qualifications you are taking.
If you dont, its considered fraud.

It seems a bit daft to take the Nov exam if you are feeling you wont get the grade.
Surely the better option is to cancel this and take the May exam - the offer would be the same, and there is no advantage with a Nov resit. Longer revision time probably equals better result. Whats the rush?

Unis do receive exam results direct from UCAS and so any Nov result would appear on your record - and therefore as it would be an achieved grade, you may get rejected because of this.

Thanks for reply, but can I cancel the exam just before 4 days before the exam?

Talk to the school/exam centre where you are doing the exam.
