If your school still does AS exams, can universities still see them?

Question above, also can teachers use your AS grade as a measure as your predicted grade for UCAS? I kinda bombed my chemistry year 12 mock and could have done better and getting a bit worried now

As in can unis see your as grade, if you got as grade B but your predicted UCAS grade was an A would you be at a disadvantage

Was this a school exam or a CAG? If it was a CAG then you must write it on your UCAS applicatiojn.

This week? What do you mean - this is not a standard thing.

Internal school grades are just part of the information teachers use for predictions.

I've asked 2 questions. Firstly do Year 12 mock exams occuring this week mean anything, because I flopped my chemistry mock. My second question is as some schools do AS exams and some don't if you get a B in an AS exam but your UCAS prediction is an A are you at a disadvantage to someone who hasn't done an AS qualification and has a UCAS A grade predicted

Yes they mean something as I've said - it's all part of the picture towards creating predictions.

I don't get your second - if you sit the AS exam and it's marked externally then you must include that grade on UCAS - if its a school exam it won't be 'seen' but teachers will use it as part of creating their prediction.
