Advice on completing UCAS form: re-taking modules

Post by tense »

My DS did his Maths A level in Yr 12. He's planning to re-take two modules next year with the hope of getting a better grade. Could anyone please advise on how to cover this in the UCAS form? It does get a mention in the school reference.

Am pretty sure this would have been covered by school in their numerous UCAS talks but my DS doesn't seem to have a clue :roll:

Thanks.

There is a good section on The Student Room and also on the UCAS site itself.

https://www.ucas.com/ucas/undergraduate ... pplication" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

You enter the AS grade achieved and then enter again as 'pending' where A levels are entered as pending as well.

All this is completed and then the school adds the reference with predicted grades. Each teacher will have already written a comment and the referee pulls these together into one.
