What universities accept resits for a levels?

I think I’ve screwed up my Alevels already so far and i think I may have to end up going clearing or resitting. I’ve applied for accounting and finance btw but idk what universities are willing to accept resits or clearing.

Hi @Bobjones3738

It’s great to hear you're interested in studying Accounting & Finance at university! Try not to stress too much about your A-Level results you might do better than you expect. That said, having a back-up plan is always a smart move, especially if things don’t go quite to plan with your firm choice.

Unless you are applying to mega-competitive Unis, resits etc are usually not a problem.
Btw, you have probably done far better than you think - its very natural to doom-spiral at the end of exams, but try not to worry.
