Declaring yr10 GCSE results in 6th form applications

Basically, is it necessary to include results for GCSEs taken early, if re-sitting in yr11 and predicted a better resultt?

DD fell foul of the AQA Eng Lang in June, had coursework downgraded,from A to B, a C in the paper and a C overall. As this is by 1/300 UMS marks, will be getting re-marked.

But if the C remains, it is not good enough for some of her sixth form applications - even though definitely NOT taking English A'Level.

So at the moment, in a worse place than not having sat early and applying with her A/B prediction.

DS2 just started 6th form.
When they enrol they have to take in evidence of all qualifications. UMS score is added up. I saw nothing to suggest they had to "declare" an earlier exam if retaken.

If the qualification isn't "finished" then I wouldn't include it.

Thanks SS
So if an application is due in before a resit result is back, does the original need to be declared?

webwiz - not sure what counts as 'finished'
there is a final grade, as all units submitted, but I do recall seeing 'provisiona' somewhere on the results slip.

There's to be a 'special' November resit, but do not know yet if any of the CA work needs to be resubmitted.

The final enrolment was in August after the GCSE results came out. DS1 went in to enrol on 29th August and started today.
Applications only required predicted grades.

Understand that SS - but if an oversubscribed sixth form requires a B in Eng Lang, and DD currently has a C, she is unklikely to get an offer.

By finished I mean you have a final grade that you are sticking with and so not resitting any of it.

We put achieved grades in one table and predicted in another.

My daughters was a year 10 D Grade, and it didn't matter to her course so we didn't mention the resit she planned to do in year 11. I think, if it had mattered, I would have put a note next to the achieved grade that a year 11 re-sit was planned.

Kez100 · 06/09/2012 19:42

Oh, I see it is a selective sixth form requiring a B. Difficult one when you know she will resit.

Kez - It's not a selective sixth form. B in English is required to take certain A level subjects if not taken at GCSE. Her current school sixth form is the same.

Surely you only have to say 'AQA. English .summer 2012' and they will know.
Can you find out which exam board they do for GCSE? - if they do AQA themselves then they will definitely know.
