Hi,
I also believe you can claim the AS as many times as you like.
Page 4 of the Entry and Aggregation booklet shows an example of an AS
and A2 claim. The next to last paragraph clearly says ''The student may
claim a new AS award, as units results obtained previously are all still
available for re-use.'' The grade does not have to be better than the
previous result, but cannot be worse as the best units are always
available and are used.

Subject: OCR AS Religious Studies
Hi Everyone
We have a student in our lower sixth who is studying towards an AS in
Religious studies (cash-in code H172) with units G572 and G575.
However, she already has a certificated AS in the above using G572 and
G571, which she did at her secondary school. The teacher is advising her
that she can get a second AS this summer. I was not happy with this and
phoned OCR, who seemed a bit unsure with their answer. They said that
the student can only ever have one AS with the cash-in code H172,
regardless of which units she sits.
The JCQ booklet seems to say (if I have understood it correctly) that
units can be sat again (the example they use is Biology and Human
Biology)and used towards different cash-in codes, but not the same code.
I wondered if anyone had come across this before and how it may have
been dealt with.
