'Multiple' centres for university application?

Hi, I'm resitting my A-Levels this year, but not at my previous sixth form for personal reasons. I was wondering if anyone knows if it's possible to essentially do the different parts of getting into a university at more than one centre. Basically, can I have one centre help with predicted grades and references etc. on UCAS, whilst I sit a university entrance exam at another centre and then while I sit the final A-Level exams at a different centre? Thank you.

If you ask you old school if you can apply though their school UCAS portal (ask for the buzzword), they can check your application, and add a reference - they may also be willing to add new predcitted grades even if you arer not taking the exams there - but that is entirely a decision for the school.

Hi, I'm not looking to do this through my old school.

Whichever way you do it you can only have 1 reference and that person will have to provide your predicted grades.

As above, you can list more than one centre, but only your referee, (or school if you are using a buzzword), can provide your reference and predicted grades.

Yes, although you'll have to discuss with your refereree what predictions they can provide.
