What is an "Alevel school test transcript"? A level exams aren't administered by schools. They are administered by exam boards. No, UNIVERSITIES in the UK do not care what marks you got on school tests. (If you are applying for colleges in the UK after doing A levels, you are very confused - college is somewhere you _do_ A levels). They will look at your GCSE and AS results. If you've come through another education system, they'll look at the marks you got in that. They will also look at the references your teachers have written for you, and your predicted A level grades - both of which will have been strongly influenced by how you have performed in school tests. Uniersities have a certain number of places available. They will offer those places to the best candidates. If you've done badly in tests at school, and as a result your reference isn't very good and nor are your predicted grades, then chances are there will be too many other people applying who look like better candidates for you to be offered a place. It has nothing to do with whether you are good enough. At the majority of universities, there will be far more "good enough" candidates than places.
