Hi Jessica,

I hope you had a lovely Christmas!

When I was doing my A-levels, AS levels were in the process of being phased out and not really important anymore as they no longer counted towards my final A-level grades. My sixth form did, however, make us do AS exams despite them not counting towards our final grades. I think they did that as a way of then giving us predicted grades. So I was wondering if I need to put down my AS grades, despite their irrelevance to my final A level grades?

To be honest I never put them down because of the fact that they do not count. But the firm I am applying to is a bit different as it is the first firm I have ever seen to put in bold red that applicants need to put all exams taken and grades received. The problem is that I did terribly on one of my AS exams and subsequently dropped that particular subject, so I am not very keen on putting it on my application.

And also, how do law firms go about checking exam results? That particular firm explains that they require "confirmation of all results during the selection process" so does that mean I need to provide certificates or do they contact my school?

And last question on a different note, would you classify brand ambassador positions as law related?
