Hi
@emcheblossom I am not too sure what you mean when you say, 'and have it count as an actual A-level rather than a resit?'.
If you have a qualification, it 100% counts. Just because you didn't sit the exam at a sixth form when you were 18 doesn't make it any less valuable or useful.
Some mature students will have privately studied for an A Level and then are able to apply for certain courses at university. It is very common.
Just remember, Biology is a tough and very content-heavy A Level, so it will be tough to essentially self-teach it. However, if you're determined to study dentistry, hopefully this will help keep you motivated! Also I would encourage you to discuss this with your teachers or a careers advisor at school, if you have one🙂
Good luck!
