WHICH COMPANIES REQUIRE FIRST SITTING FOR A LEVELS?

Do you know which companies do not allow A-Level re-sits.
I've only found Deloitte which wants x amount of ucas points in the first sitting.
Do other companies allow retakes?

Please note, that we only consider a candidate's 'top' 3 A-level grades and do not accept General Studies.

Does top 3 A level grades imply first sitting?

Thank you

 

The companies usually state it on their websites. Do you have any mitigating circumstances as to explain why you required an extra year?

Top three A-levels means the top three highest A-level grades e.g. if you did four A-levels and scored AABC, your top three A-levels would be A, A and B which is equal to 140+120+100=360 UCAS points.

It is easier to find men who will volunteer to die, than to find those who are willing to endure pain with patience.
 

If they don't ask then do not bother. Yes, you should always have the opportunity to explain why it took you an additional year.

I wasn't aware that both don't ask about UCAS points. Usually 300-320 UCAS points are required for large multinationals. What A-level grades did you obtain if I may ask and moreover what exactly are you applying for?
