Extenuating circumstance or not?

Is anxiety a legitimate extenuating circumstance for retaking a-levels?
If anxiety affected your results and you realised later on would it be considered a valid reason. liek would unis accept that...

What medical evidence do you have?

Hi, yes I would say it is a legitimate reason but you would need the support of your school/ a referee to back up this claim. Mental health and depression affected my results, and when I applied to uni my referee had to write a section as to how and why this affected me, therefore perhaps discuss this with your school.

How do I go about this? Like do I tell them to add it into their refrence? I am planning to apply to uni with the retakes also because of the stress-it was too much to even apply, I felt no uni could ever want me esp as I had low grade predictions...anyhow I am planning to come in to the school and ask for a refrence as I need one and school said before they would provide it...

Hi, on your UCAS application, there is a section that your referee has to fill in, which usually includes confirming predicted grades, and writing a reference. If you have extenuating circumstances, there is a specific section where they would write about what you experienced and how this affected your grades. It is not part of the reference. Also I would suggest that when you reapply you should contact each uni individually. Usually they have an email or a form you need to fill in about extenuating circumstances, where you will write about what happened and you may need the support of a referee or documentation to back up your claim. I hope this makes sense.

Would I have to get the support of a referee when I am applying, or can I do so earlier?
And who owuld be the referee...my teachers?
Thanks
