A-Level Resits whilst at University
10
Does anyone have any experience with resitting A-Levels whilst in their first year of Uni? I recently got 3 As ( 2 marks off A star in bio) which was a lot lower than I expected. I would be looking to retake all 3 whilst also being at Uni, as I was accepted to my insurance choice.

If you are retaking with the hope of going to your firm choice next year why not just take a year out rather than potentially wasting £20K whilst neither fully engaging in your course or investing in your current university life. If you are not happy with your insurance choice then don’t go there.
If however your firm choice was for a highly competitive course, there is nothing to guarantee that you will again be made an offer and it’s maybe time to accept the possibility that you could be happy and even thrive elsewhere.
IMO retaking whilst at uni is not a good idea because it just maintains your state of indecision.

Once you have a degree, no-one will care about your A level grades -and they wont actually care about which Uni either.
