resitting a level grades on a cv

i’m taking a gap year and resitting a level biology (got a B) and chemistry (got a D). I also achieved an A in psychology. I want to apply to part time retail jobs, what should i put my a levels as? should i put my first set of results and just leave it at that or should i then say im also resitting? or should i just not put my grades on and say im still studying them?

Any of those options would be valid.

If your grades were very low (say DDE) and you had no plans to retake them, then I'd probably say that leaving the grade off would be best. The interviewer will either interpret the lack of grade as being they were very low, or they'd ask for the grades.

However, your grades are perfectly respectable at ABD - they're just not quite what you'd hoped for; hence the retakes. That very fact that you're retaking shows commitment too. So I see real benefit in listing the grades, with the "resitting" annotations as appropriate. That's what I'd do, anyway.
