Retaking A levels

And also where did you people retake your a levels?

A Levels can be retaken at any college or exam centre regardless whether you studied there or not. You will have to to pay them so the main thing to look out for is the price of retaking A Levels. At certain places prices can range from £100 - £400+ depending on where you resit them.

I just wonder if a university would discriminate against me if I am not resitting with a school?

Has anyone here retaken A Levels and if so can you share your experience on what it was like, some of the nitty gritty details and what the outcome was?

I did. I had A* A* A grades but ****ed up and got BBC in 2022. covid boundaries.

I went in clearing and got into uni, big mistake. Then I retook, AAA predicted got AAB. Underachieved as i was working at A* level for one of the subjects but somehow still ****ed up.

If you ask me, for example if you get ABC but want to retake, don't retake the A especially if that's in a good subject. Focus on the subjects you can retake and get high grades easily. For example for me, i retook some physics modules but did ****, which was a bad decision. I was quite a bit better at mathematics and psychology so I should've resat them and perhaps gotten A*AB or even A*A*B for example.

You need to be realistic with yourself. I wasn't for a while. I should've not been in copium in summer 2022 and instead decided to retake, but that was history. I've ****ed up for that reason, no A*. But depending on circumstances if you get B/C in a levels, you could plausibly retake to A*/A but you need effort.

I retook my A-levels privately. One tutor with some math lessons. Most unis are ok with retakes including some strong unis like Manchester, Glasgow, KCL.

But be realistic - iif your grades were worse than expected, you're probably worse than you think, at least by a little.
And when retaking, look at grade boundaries. Also, some A-leIf vels have modules so resit the modules you have best chance at getting the highest grades in.

If you wish to retake and need a predicted grade how do you get a predicted grade, if it is from your college how do you whether they will give a high or a low one?
