How are A Level Retakes Different from Standard Courses

Retaking your A Levels is not the same thing as simply re-enrolling in a course. Instead of starting from scratch, it is about reinforcing and building upon your pre-existing knowledge. From there, we conduct a consistent and rigorous set of revision, mock exams, and coursework prep.

Together, we help our students achieve the best possible results.

 

Which A Level Subjects Can You Retake?

Students can retake a wide range of A Level subjects at Ealing Independent College, including many of the UK’s most popular subjects.

Our admissions team can advise you on subject availability and help you choose the most suitable programme based on your previous results and university aspirations.

 

Who Are A Level Retake Courses For?

Our A Level retake courses are ideal for students who did not achieve the grades that they were hoping or planning for. Especially so, if they missed those grades by a narrow margin.

Instead of moving forward with the grades you received, choosing to retake your A Levels gives you another opportunity to reach the grades you need for the next stage of your academic career.

 

Do Universities Accept A Level Retakes?

Yes. Many UK universities accept applicants who have retaken their A Levels, although some competitive courses may have specific entry requirements or policies regarding resits. Students should always check the admissions criteria for their chosen universities before applying.

Our experienced admissions team can help you understand how retaking your A Levels may support your university plans.

Seb

Seb also lifted his grade in Chemistry from an E to an A, achieving a set of A*AA grades at EIC and is now studying Molecular Plants and Microbial Sciences (MRes) at Imperial College London.

Michelle

Michelle came to the College having achieved DDE at A Level with a local secondary school. She was not prepared to give up on her dream of becoming a vet, and so decided to enrol for an intensive course in three subjects – Biology, Chemistry and Philosophy. Michelle self-funded her study at the College through her part-time work as a hairdresser and showed a tireless work ethic during her time here. She was an excellent role model to younger students, and was integral in encouraging a positive atmosphere within her year group and beyond. Michelle lifted her grades to AAC, and was awarded with a place at the University of Surrey, where she completed the first part of her degree. She now studies at the Royal Veterinary College, and is loving her time there. Michelle was one of the students who came on the trip to China in 2017, successfully climbed Mount Siguniang, and enthusiastically engaged with each part of the expedition.
