Sending A-level Scores

<p>Hi,</p>

<p>How do I send my A-level scores to US universities? Do I just send photocopies of the official certificates (I'm homeschooled), or do the examining boards (Edexcel and OCR) need to "report" it to the universities in some way, like with the SATs?</p>

<p>Thanks :).</p>

<p>You can send photocopies of the official certificates. Edexcel and OCR won’t do anything for you… Usually in Singapore HSes, we have the copies certified true by a school official. Since you’re homeschooled, you might want to have them certified true by a notary.</p>

<p>What grades did you get python38?</p>

<p>@python: I did my A-Levels from Singapore (it’s like a collaboration between the Ministry of Education, Singapore (MOE) and Cambridge UCLES). I sent attested photocopies of my results to UCLA but they refuse to accept anything sent through either me or my school (they need it to be sent by the examining body- UCLES and MOE in my case). And they were pretty anal about it. So I had to send a copy through the Ministry in Singapore. However, many colleges DO accept certified photocopies sealed and sent by you school. So just call your college and ask them what they want. :slight_smile: I’m pretty sure the UCs accept ONLY official result slips sent by the examining body. :)</p>

<p>I did Edexcel A-levels and had my school photocopy and sign my certificates. That worked out fine, but if the school requires that you have the exam board send them, I know on the Edexcel website you can fill in a form and they’ll send certificates to the school. It takes like 2 months though, ridiculous.</p>

<p>What kind of person could be a notary? Would it be OK if I included the letters sent by the headmaster of the school I took the exams at (the letters which came with the certificates?)</p>

I dunno what you’re referring to by ‘letters from the headmaster’ as I’ve never seen one before.</p>

<p>Well, when I took the exams, I had to arrange to take them at a local school. When I recieved the certificates, I also recieved cover letters (directed to my parents) from the headmaster. I’m not sure if they could confirm my results, though.</p>

<p>@cdover: I’ve looked around the Edexcel site, but can’t find the form. Could you please post a link? Thanks :).</p>

It may also be sent as an official document to educational institutions, professional bodies and prospective employers.
