or can you leave some off, e.g. an AS level result thats bad or a GCSE result?

Do you HAVE to include them all?

I think PQ said you have to list them all. I missed out two of my GCSEs as I didn't really want to explain in a university interview why I wrote "RE is a joke" in my RE exam.

You need to list all your exam results. If they are bad, you should have declined them already.

amazingtrade, why did you write "RE is a joke"? lol :p:

If you didn't miss the 2 GCSEs out, I don't think they would mind about what grades you have.

If you did bad in your AS-levels and you don't want it to show on the application form, you decline it. Therefore, the uni's won't see that AS grade and they also don't know that you've taken the course.

NO..i think your GCSE's have to be fully written and i remember someone saying a while back that when you start uni they ask to see your exam certificates. If you just got a few bad grades at GCSE, it shouldn't matter too much.

They just want to see it, as they want to see if it matches the stuff you put on the UCAS form etc...

Do we get them back or do they keep them?

If you mean the exam certificates, I'm pretty sure you'd get them back.

Too bad people can't decline their GCSE grades. But why though?

Actually, I think you can decline your GCSE grades within the first few weeks of getting them, and ask for them to be remarked at the schools expense. If you wait longer than this then you have to pay yourself (or something along those lines) :smile:

I think no one in our year decline their GCSE results, as no one knows that they can decline it.

I didnt realise you could either, otherwise i would have declined by Spansih grade, its probably that if schools made it a option too many people would want to decline certain grades and would maybe cost schools too much (if they have to pay).

Hi, how about music grades long long ago? Must they be written down?

If the qualifications that doesn't count, put it in anyway. It's kind of your achievement, and uni's will acknowledge it but don't count towards the entry requirements.

If you're not applying for a music related degree I doubt the uni's will be bothered either way about your grade 2 results.

It's worth putting it in if you continue to play and intend to carry on once at uni as it gives a broader picture of results...but it's not essential in the way that GCSE/AS/A level results are/

Actually i think you might find that music exams can contribute to your ucas points, thats what i was told when i was applying anyway.

Just wondering, how come music exams are not counted towards the tariff score usually?

I know some music programs don't want to have music exams counted towards the tariff but acknowledge them though.

If they don't count it, I think they should scrap it out of the tariff system.
