[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 120285, member: 2672"] It will be rare for recruiters to see this - usually retakes will be done the year after A-levels, typically the same subject, and/or only for 1-2 subjects at a time rather than all of them. Given this, it's hard to know how a firm may make a call on this - probably because many recruiters will never have seen this before (I can't ever remember seeing this before). I think the best process would be to contact any firm with a strict A-level criteria you want to apply to and explain the circumstances (as briefly as you have above) and ask whether they would consider your first or second set of results. For any firm with no A-level criteria, you can just apply anyway. However, you should disclose both sets of results (mainly because someone will think you have put the wrong year in if you just put your second results in) and to make sure you are fully disclosing your academic results (rather than being at a risk of a suggestion you are hiding the earlier results). If I was the recruiter, I would personally go with being far more interested in the second results, but only because they were sat at the same time and were in completely different subjects. However, this is quirky - for instance, I might be more concerned with your second A-level results if your first undergraduate degree subject corresponds with the A-level subjects you studied. If you get to interview, also be prepared to also answer a lot of questions as to why you retook all of your A-levels and chose to do another full undergraduate degree. Many people will question the logic of dedicating 4-6 more years to your studies. [/QUOTE]
