UCAS - retaking modules?

Question

I can't work out how to fill in module results on ucas if im retaking - and yes i know i dont have to include modules but i want to.
If i'm retaking a module i've been told to put it in twice, once with the current grade and the other as pending. When i do this it says i've already submitted the unit so i cant do it again. My teacher said its because i need to change the one im retaking to the date of jan 2011 but you can only put a general date down

please help x

Answer 1

A simple way of going about it, is to input you're Advanced Subsidiary with the modules and the grades you achieved last year, then input the same Advanced Subsidiary again, but then only put the module that you're retaking, with the grade as pending and the date jan 2011 (if that's when you're retaking).



So, for example, if your subject is Ancient History, and you need to retake you're Roman History module, then input Ancient History Advanced Subsidiary, with all the modules and your grades from last year (including the Roman History module from last year), then input another Ancient History Advanced Subsidiary, with only the Roman History Module, with the grade set to pending and the date set at jan 2011.



Does this make sense to you? That's how they did it at my Sixth Form. However this may not be acceptable at yours. You can always ask your Higher Education/Universities co-ordinator at your school or college for more help. You'll have another check before Christmas though, with your Personal Statement completed.



Hope this helps, and good luck with the rest of your UCAS application!





EDIT: Okay, not a problem, it works the same though. Just impute the A Level with your previous grades for units, then input the same A Level again, but just the module(s) you're retaking, with them set to pending and the date as 2011.

Answer 2

Ok, I did my UCAS form last year, and it is a little confusing!



When you enter your AS levels (because you need to entr both your AS levels and A2 levels separately, even the ones you are taking to A2!) you should put the module grade that you actually got the first time around!



When you enter your A2 levels, you should enter the modules and put 'grade pending' (it might not say that exactly, something similar to that, though!).



Hope that helps!

Answer 3

depart the module packing boxes empty, im retaking some AS modules alongside my A2s and that i left them sparkling and positioned my A2s as pending. the colleges will pass on what your project instructors assume you interior the reference so in the event that they think of you're able to having extreme grades yet you underperformed at AS then you definately can nevertheless get right into a good college! desire I helped!
