Resits for 'legacy' qualifications ending in 2017
The June 2017 series was the final assessment opportunity for some of OCR's ‘legacy’ qualifications, which have been redeveloped as part of the government reform of general qualifications. Following the issuing of results, some students may now be looking to resit these qualifications and we would like to ensure you are aware of what qualifications are available to resit and when the resit opportunities are available.

*Centres that have offered the qualification before have a final assessment opportunity in June 2017, with a resit opportunity in June 2018. (The June 2016 final assessment opportunity and June 2017 resit opportunity applies to centres that did not previously offer this qualification.)
Students will be able to carry forward the results from or resit each unit. Full information on the rules for students wishing to resit ‘legacy’ AS and A Level qualifications is available on our resit arrangements for ‘legacy’ GCSEs, AS and A Levels guidance page.
Information on our new AS and A Level qualifications in the above subject areas is available on the GCSE and A Level reform page.
