Re-sitting A-Levels is a common path for many students seeking to improve their grades and university prospects. However, it's important to understand the timing and options available.
A-Level exams are typically held in May/June each year. This means re-sits are only available in the following summer, not November. While this may seem like a setback, it can be an advantage. The additional time allows you to strengthen your knowledge and skills, leading to significantly improved results. At Edgbaston College, students who re-sit their A-Levels improve an average of two grades per subject.
Most universities, including those in the Russell Group, accept re-sit applications, even for competitive courses like Medicine and Dentistry. However, some institutions, such as Oxbridge and LSE, may require like mitigating circumstances to be outlined in your UCAS application. Edgbaston College can help you navigate these nuances and present your application in the best possible light.
You can re-sit as many A-Levels as you need. However, many students choose to focus on one or two subjects to maximize their chances of success, where possible. Universities consider your highest grade in each subject, so even if you don't improve, your previous grade will still count.
Absolutely! Edgbaston College offers one-year A-Level courses, allowing you to add a new subject to your re-sit schedule or even take a new A-Level without re-sitting any previous subjects. This is often helpful if you lack a prerequisite for your desired university course.
Our bespoke One-Year A-Level Retake program is designed to maximise your potential. With regular assessments, small class sizes, and individualised attention, we have a proven track record of helping students achieve significant grade improvements and enhance their career prospects.
