Urgent advice please??? +rep n that

I'm assuming you've already been entered for it since it's getting close now. From what I know if you don't attend you get a grade X which means you didn't sit the exam. That's equivalent to nothing. A grade U is that you sat the exam but didn't get enough marks for a grade. So you wouldn't get a U from not turning up. Although if the exam is just one part of the whole course and you've already been graded for part of the course, I imagine you would get a U?

It's purely exam based, no coursework or anything so I am guessing I would get the X

Ok may as well just go it and get an E

If I worse case get a U I'll leave it off (not gna happen tbh)

[AgnesIO]

actually you get an X

Speaking from experience?

Shaz if you just cram before the exam you should be able to get a d/e. You can also resit just the as next year which would be easier since you've already learned some of the material. I had god awful attendance and just did an all nighter before the exam and managed to get a d! If I were you I would just take the exam and resit the as along with three a2's next year.

Pfft, I cram in some Uni exams and somehow get a first...

my law teacher told me today to not do the exam as a bad grade is worse than no grade and that it will appear on my certificate and i will have to explain that to a uni when applying and they 'ask to see my certificate

This is absolute nonsense, there is 0% chance that anything your law professor is telling has any basis in truth. You are not required to show anything that you don't want to show and there is no single charter of your life that shows all of your records that is available to university entry staff. The only time anyone will be required to see your A level certificates is at enrolment after you've already been accepted and are setting up to begin the first year - if that. Even then, you are already signed up to take these exams so any result (be it anything from A through to U/X) will show up on the "certificate" from the exam board at the end

You're better off attempting it and hoping you end up with a D. Considering you've been studying it for a good duration of the year surely you'll be able to answer a few questions.
The 20/30 points may make the difference on clearing day if you happen to miss your offer; 20 points is actually the difference between each final grade.
