Does retaking 1 A level subjects affect applications?

I sat for AS in oct/nov 2023 and A2 in may/june 2024 but didn't do well for a particular subjects, would it affect my application if i resit for the subject in oct/nov 2024? I'm also planning to submit my UCAS this year, do I apply for conditional offer with my may/june grade? How does this work?

Resits don't affect anything. They are just looking at what you have right now. I think you need to do some reading on the subject. Google UCAS and read the relevant pages.

Depends on the course and uni you want to apply for, have a look at the entry requirements for the course and uni you want to do :smile:
