Gap year- PLS HELP!!! ):

Hi, I’m in year 13 right now taking my a level exams.

Can someone help explain the time line of how i need to apply to university because I’m taking a gap year.

When will i have to do my UCAT test for medicine? (What year?)

When will i do my resits too?

And when will i apply for university?

I’m really confused on the years and the months i have to do all this.

1) You will take the UCAT this year/summer.
2) Depends on your exam board
3) You will apply before the deadline this year (follow the one for medics).

When I apply for ucas this year October, what grades will I be putting in because I want to retake?

Do I have to put in the grades I get in August this year?
