I have a question regarding mitigating circumstances - my a-levels aren't awful but were definitely below what I was predicted/expecting. My sixth form was created as an extension of my high school, and I was part of the first year-group to attend it - this meant all the teachers had no experience in teaching a-level previously, and as a result the whole year group underperformed I had never considered this a mitigating circumstance before but someone suggested it could be and I wanted to get some guidance as to whether it would be considered seriously, mainly for the purposes of applying to firms with strict A-Level requirements that wouldn't accept me without MC! Should I bother putting this down or not?
What are your grades?
