A level sessions

I'm an international student doing my A level exams as a private candidate. I will be doing 4 subjects in 3 consecutive sessions, would this be acceptable by universities for admission?


November 2019: already did 2 subjects(got A*A in both)


June 2020: will be doing 1 subject*


November 2020: will be doing 1 subject
Most unis would find it acceptable but more selective unis will be more strict on it (e.g. Cambridge wants you to do you a-levels in the 2 year time period of study if i can remember it correctly). I would look at the unis you want to go and research its policies and if you cant find much info, contact them

I self-teach myself the subjects and sit for the exams as a private candidate because I am from a country where it is uncommon for students to do international exams.
I started my A levels in January 2019
