Does Cambridge care about my AS grade?

I think I am but i'll get back to you on this to confirm it

No problem. If you remember and get a chance, will you just update me on this thread. I'd be interested to know what happened. Thanks

So I haven't heard back from the teacher yet...I just had a thought though. Wouldn't it look better to keep sports as a predicted grade with my other subjects just so it looks like a nerf to my main three subjects, since it really was. Just seeing the main three alone with mediocre grades will look pathetic, if sports is added on to the list I at least have a official reason why.

Also I actually do remember telling my sports teacher if I should drop it or not but he said it'll get you more ucas points, then without doing any research I just went with the flow.

I dropped my 4th A level subject after my AS exams, because it didn’t go well at all, but part of me wanted to carry on with it because I felt like it made all my grades look worse. I had A/A*s in everything else, so I wanted to carry on with that A level to hide my AS grade.
I don’t know if it would have actually made much difference, but I would definitely have retaken it in October if I had the opportunity. How much work do you think it would take to get a better grade in sports science?

Thanks for getting back

I still don't recommend that - if you're going to be predicted a poor grade in it, then you might as well sack if off, particularly given the rest of the context regarding it not even being relevant to your chosen uni course. One poor grade alongside 3 mediocre isn't any better than 3 mediocre, and in many ways are worse.

It's a shame your sports teacher told you this - unless you're planning on applying to the very few (mainly crap) universities which still offer on a UCAS tariff score, rather than a certain number of A level grades.

So my Sports grade has been sent to the exam boards and it is too late to withdraw that grade since they were submitted a couple weeks ago according to their deadlines.

Oh dear. Well, that's that then. Nothing you can do about it now, and it won't be decisive, anyway (with any luck).

Yeah just got to shine even harder with my final a level exams
