wait for your splits results to come. then decide accordingly whether giving your papers for rechecking would be wise or not. e.g if your splits results for chem is BBC, give only the component with C for rechecking. this may then upgrade your results.

other than that, i personally wont recommend you to take retake as its prep would take away your precious A2 time- thus risking your A2 grade too. work harder next time and try to make your present grades to straight Bs.

And you can apply to your mentioned unis with these grades. so dont worry

It doesn't work like that, though. Only the theory paper in Physics, Biology and Chemistry get sent for rechecking, not the others. Essentially you are paying only to get your paper 2 rechecked.

If you do go for a recheck, don't go with the cheapest option because they just check if all of the questions have been marked. There's a middle one where the examiner checks your answers so you should go for that. If you're confident that your grade will be changed, it probably will so rechecking might be worth it.

You need to repeat all of the components of each paper.

no. you are wrong here. you do have an option to send any of the components for rechecking. you can either get your whole paper rechecked or any of the components you wish. and ofcourse, getting a component checked is alot cheaper than getting whole paper rechecked.

Oh, then disregard what I said. One of my teachers told me that only the theory paper gets sent for rechecking for those subjects (since the MCQ paper is computerized and they won't recheck the practical papers).

statement of results comes usually after a week. ask your school in september. They will surely get it by then.
no we dont get percentages, only splits. however, some schools do not get splits. so ask around to know if your school isnt one of them.

As far as my opinion is concerned do not go for recheking. It is loss of hopes, and finance.

just go for the retake of maths it is the best option u will definately get an A inshaALLAH.]
IT is up to u that go in this nov. or even in june with A2.
those who say that giving As retake of maths wil hurt ur A2 precious time! I disagree with them.
As retake means u are strengthening ur bases. so this will help u in learning p3 more wisely.

And donot get upset U will find all uni. u specified, above.

One more thing it is really hard to improve grade in A2. A2 just allows u to maintain ur grade or it will demote u. If u will not study hard.

THose who improve their grades in A2 are damn superb ones or Allah blesses them and this is once in a blue moon. U can say that they are found rarely.. around 2 in a crowd of 100.


I have seen such people and do not get upset. give retake with working even harder this time.(y)
