    I think it means no re-sits. I think...

    One sitting means in the same period of examinations, i.e. the same academic year.

    Yep- so retakes are OK as long as they were done in the same academic year as the rest of your exams... it'd be pretty easy to get the 4 A's or whatever if you just did one course/exam per year!

    thats a really high offer! Where is that for, and to do what?

    btw i have no idea what one sitting means - like everyone else I would assume no retakes

    It means all in the same academic year, so you can't do 2 A levels and get 2 As one year, and 2 the next and then meet a 4 As offer.

    If you took a subject a year early then you may get away with that.

    Does that make sense?

    Judging by those results- you are referring to Scottish Highers at a Scottish University? Correct? If you sat English A levels then the requirements will be different.

    In Scotland you can sit up to 5 Higher exams in one academic year so I would assume that over one sitting means over the course of one academic year so I would say it means over your 5th year of secondary school and not split over 5 and 6th year. I could be wrong though. What are you applying to do?

    If you are really unsure I would advise you to contact the University in question- the number to call will be in the prospectus or you can find it online.

    Hope that helps.
