Autumn v Summer 2021 resit

Do you think we would be allowed to do one exam in October and then complete another exam in May/June?

Well that’s what I’m doing. I’m taking maths in the autumn and geography in the summer. I’m pretty sure you’re allowed I think

I’m taking in the summer, but I’m hearing it’s going to be double hard getting into good unis next year (international students, current and upcoming Y13s), is this true or will unis make more spaces?

Thank god! What Course do you hope to do in uni?
Also have you been told this is allowed by some teachers and have you spoke to any unis about whether this would be allowed before applying

Oh no i havent spoke go anyone about this yet yikes. Im gonna appeal my econ from a b to an a cos i got an for both mocks and cag hopefully it works. Im aiming to get an a in autumn for maths, so ill have aac. With this ill apply for econ in december and then retake geo in the summer from a c to an a. What do you think of this idea? What r u planning to do!

guys you ought to bear in mind that (iirc) you wont have to pay for autumn resits but probably WILL have to pay for summer 2021

I’m in the same boat as you so I’m interested to hear the advice from other people 🥴

Omg did you get BCC too?! Because that’s what I’m planning on doing, appealing my psychology grade from a B to an A, hopefully get my English language grade from a B to an A and then I’ll have AAC and then in the summer take my C in literature and hopefully turn it into either A or A* 🥰

I’m going to call uni’s tomorrow and see what they say since law is quite competitive so I don’t know how they will feel about it 🥴

I got bbc basically the same. We’re both planning to do practically same and hope it all works out good luck!! Ill be calling a lot of unis tomorrow and see what they say ( fingers crossed )

Me too! What unis are you planning on calling? Because then overall together we won’t have to call as many individually since we can just put our findings together hehe I’m a lazy person 😂

But I’m planning on 100% calling bristol because that was my firm this year, liverpool, I’ll try Ucl because they’re very strict on resits so idk :/ and maybe Durham

I’ll be calling Durham my ex firm lmao, Nottingham probably ucl, lse warwick and Exeter. There’s a long process ahead of us but it is what it is ig

Could you let me know what Durham, nottingham and UCL have said please 🙏🏽 Bristol told me that they usually expect people to sit them all in one go but that your referee should explain why you haven’t sat them in one go and then it’ll be taken into consideration but I know one girl who was resitting two subjects this year and she got an unconditional offer this year I believe also I messaged oxford because why not lmao and they also got back to me with this

‘This would be absolutely fine. Your application will be considered alongside others for 2021 entry, and we will not consider the results of the exams you take in autumn or June 2021 as re-takes, so your application will not be disadvantaged when admissions decisions are made.

You will need to reapply through UCAS by the 15 October 2020 deadline, and re-take any admissions test(s) required for the course you are applying to.’


So if Oxford is willing to do that then I imagine quite a few other unis are too
