Did my A-Levels twice, how do I say this on applications?

[EastSatsuma57]

Hi all, I am currently applying for vacation schemes but am unsure how to list my A-levels. I originally completed them in 2019 but I got grades of DDE - in Economics, computer science, and maths. I then took a year out and decided to give it another go, sitting the same subjects and achieving A*AA in 2022.

So I am wondering how I relate this on the application as the form asks for results from 16-18 studies.
Also, will the fact I had to retake impact my application negatively?
Thanks everyone!

Hello @EastSatsuma57 , thanks for your question. I presume that you will only need to include your latest A-Levels as these show your most recent qualifications. If the application form asks for all results achieved during your 16-18 studies, then you could include both and highlight any mitigating circumstances in the ‘additional information’ section. @Jessica Booker , will have more thoughts on this.

I would include both sets of results in applications. Most firms will need to see your first sitting results, but it will be important to show your subsequent grades given how strong they are.
