A level resit

I suffer from exceptionally bad adhd and have terrible timeblindness. It's especially unfortunate because i feel and have been told that i have great potential but academia is something that does not feel exceptionally difficult for me. But due to my ADHD I just leave things to the final day and delude myself into this idea that i can memorise my entire subject in a day/night. I'm also a young carer which has additional constraints. I have 2 A-levels tomorrow that i am not prepared for but i have one in a week that i can get an A* in if i ditch the other two for now and just sit them next year.
I also want to apply to UCL Law LLB course next cycle as a private candidate. If i apply to UCL with the single A* in Politics, a good personal statement and an exceptional LSAT score, (i took it the previous year and got an above average grade) Do i have a shot? Thank you in advance.

honestly? I doubt it because you need 3 a levels to get into most unis along side GCSE's at whatever required grade. I would try and revise for your papers tomorrow. Then if you do bad in those you have paper 2 and 3 to get reasonable grades. Most papers are out of 300 and if you get around 150 thats B grade and 130ish is a C grade so first paper tends to be 100 marks so providing you do well on paper 2 and 3 there are 200 marks to be hard and thus you can still get a B grade. You can apply for special considerations and that might help a little. Otherwise its a case of retaking exams next year to get better grades and apply again or HE course. Speak to your teachers and the uni you wish to apply to as they can help and give the best advice.

Hi thanks for the quick response. Slight misinterpretation there, i dont seek to apply with a single a level but rather i would sit three additiional a levels. The one A level would basically be my one qualification on my application and i'd sit the other three next cycle. The hope would be that it would provide some form of academic reference. Because i dont have predicted grades. I left sixth form last year.

Okay so from my understanding if you applied this year with one A level they wouldn't accept you because you don't currently have the grades required. So I would potentially just wait until next year after you've resat year 13 and apply that year instead but only if you do the two extra a levels. You only need 3 a levels in total and I don't think they really take into consideration the 4th A level (when I looked into vet med). and 5 GCSEs at the required grades. So I think you should try and do well in your a levels now as you could in theory potentially get slightly lower grades and still be accepted and do a foundation/top up year rather than resitting a levels.

i think you've interpreted me wrongly again? Some additional context for clairity. I am a private candidate who left college due to mental health and supporting sick family member/being a young carer. I dont have predicted grades which people use to gain offers from universities and ive also never sat an a level having left sixth form before a levels. So my question is if i apply with one good a level grade with the promise that i would resitting exams next year, + extenuating circumstances to explain my situation (lack of predicteds). Do i have a realistic change/will universities look at my application holistically.

Okay I understand you now. You need to sign up to UCAS to apply to uni. I would email a few unis you like and explain your circumstances to them and see what they say. As long as you get the grades they want I can't see why you wouldn't get a conditional offer.

*and academia is something that does not feel especially hard for me. Also the plan would be to apply with my single A* grade. and sit the other two next cycle. So the logic is that A* would basically will evidence my academic capabilities because i dont have predicteds.
