When you apply for schemes/training contracts, you will still have to declare your original results too. They will know that you have resat. Even if you came out with 3A*s, while impressive, it will always be obvious that it took 3 years to accomplish, making it less impressive than first attempts. I say this as someone who also took 3 years to do a-levels. There is something to be said for showing improvement and growth, that will appeal to many firms. However this can equally be shown by achieving high grades at uni, with relevant work experience. I would say, if you plan to go to a better uni with your better grades, that may be a reason to. There's no reason you can't get into top firms from Surrey, but if you could resit, get As, and get into top unis. That might help you. Ultimately completely up to you. It must be noted, a lot of firms have removed their a-level requirements, and now focus on degree results and work experience mainly. This is especially true if you have mitigating circumstances. You absolutely can pursue a career in law with your grades. If you wish to resit, aim for a higher ranked uni, and go from there. That is also a reasonable route to take.</blockquote>
