I've already done my A-levels but didn't get the grades I needed. Should I re-sit?
Our general expectation is to take students who have obtained their A-level (or equivalent) qualifications in one sitting. (Taking A-levels a year early is fine.) Spending a year retaking single units of an A-level to improve an overall grade will not be looked upon favourably by the admissions panel: as with the 2+2 situation above, it is expected that for the majority of applicants, they can perform to the required level while sustaining a full academic workload. Having to accumulate the required grades over a number of years is generally an unsuitable preparation for the architecture degree.
