Hi there,
I am looking for some clarification regarding the UCAS points for Officer Entry.
Firstly... a bit about my Sixth Form background!!
I decided to do the first year of A Levels again as I did not do well enough (got grade E's) last year. I have now completed AS (Year 12) again and feel I have done much better (apart from Maths which I will come to later in my post!!!).
Now, last year I achieved an AS level in General studies, and I got a grade B which is equivalent to 50 UCAS points.
Does this count towards the UCAS points for Officer Entry as I know some Universities do not accept it?
Also, Next year (when I complete A2) I am going to be dropping Maths (if I do as badly as I think I have!) and do AS and A2 ICT (which is actually a BTEC National Diploma) in one year.
I have already filled the Application for Entry into the Naval Service and stated the subjects I did in Year 12 (AS LEVELS). If, come results day, I get a low grade in Maths and I do decide to drop it and do the IT BTEC National Diploma, what would be the process I would go through with the AFCO?
Would I phone them and tell them the situation?
Would I let them know now?
Also (I'm almost done now I promise!!), would it be a possibility that everything would be completed (i.e. I would do the AIB) next academic year and then come results day (in 2011 after I have completed A2) I would then await my BRNC date?
Quite confused as at present I do not actually have the AS/A2/BTECs to warrant me taking the AIB do I?
Please Help - and Thank you if you managed to get your head around all of that as my brain hurts just writing it!
I would phone the AFCO but they would hang up on me after saying all of that!!
Thanks,
Jay
