Should I redo my A-Levels even though I'm at Uni?
11
I go to UCL and I'm doing BA English Lit, I got A*BBC at A-Levels. Since I don't have AAB I'm afraid I may be auto filtered from a lot of jobs, I am hoping to apply to competitive jobs such as consultancy or even law as my degree is versatile.

if you think you're up for it then you should
tho prioritise uni over a-levels and be mindful of cost because i think redoing it requires you to pay money?
No /thread
Realistically the jobs that care about your A-levels for filtering (what few there are) are probably going to care about resits. Most grad schemes and training contracts don't care about your A-levels at all.

I might be wrong since I'm still in sixth form but if you forget about the C, isn't A*BB equivalent to AAB?

No get a first and some work experience/interning in the holidays and no one will care about A levels.

I don’t know what your field is like but I can say once you have your degree, your A Levels mean sweet FA, at least in my field.
My only A Level is a B in Biology, however I have a 2.1 and a Merit in my Masters in Biomedical Science.
Have you actually looked at the jobs you want and the person specs they offer asking what the requirements are?
Uni is hard enough without juggling A Levels on top of it and I still say to this day, A Levels are the hardest things I’ve ever done, and as said before, got my BSc and MSc and am working in a diagnostic laboratory…
Tl;dr - no.
