AS results? Confused.

A "U" isn't a grade, so it doesn't need to go on the UCAS form.

You can't decline AS/A Level grades any more, so any (other than U) have to be put on the UCAS form. You also have to show module grades.

I think there are disparities in the marking a lot of the time.

The sixth form at my school (call it school A) was mixed with another school (call it school . We were taught together in mixed lessons and sat the same exam papers, but the exam papers went off as two seperate batches for marking. I presume they were marked by different people.

In my AS history class all the pupils from school A 'underperformed' and gained C's but virtually all of us jumped to an A when we re-sat the AS level. The school B pupils who had been with us in the same lessons doing the same paper got A's first time around.

The following year the situation reversed - school A all got A's at A2 but school B got B's. Those were bright kids and our class members were all pretty much at the same level. Funny how they got B's and we got A's that time.
