UCAS allows you to apply for 5 courses. Even if you receive offers from all 5 courses, you can only accept 2 by a certain deadline - one as your first choice and the other your insurance choice. Once you have confirmed these 2 final courses, they will accept you as long as your exam results can match the offer. That is why you should keep a lower offer as insurance choice just in case your exam results don't match the offer from your first choice.
If you don't get any offers from all 5 courses, or if you reject all the offers you receive, you can apply to an extra course between February and July - UCAS extra. If you again do not get an offer or if you reject the offer given to you, you can apply for yet another course. For UCAS extra, you can only apply to one course at a time. You can repeat this up till July, after which you have to wait till your exam result comes out and apply through 'clearing' - this is a process trying to match students with no offers and those who fail to match both their first and insurance choices with vacant courses.
For those who have achieved better grades than expected and wants to apply to better courses than the two offers on hand, they can also apply through a process called 'adjustment'.

Good morning, Peter.  Many thanks for your clear explanation which made me understand UCAS more.

Out of the 5 selected courses, my son will put his first priority as his Firm Choice and fourth priority as his Insurance Choice.  To be honest, the Firm Choice is very stretched to him and the Insurance Choice may be too safe.

In case he is not able to achieve the required grades for the Firm Choice but finally offered the Insurance Choice, is he NOT eligible to go through the "Adjustment" and "Clearing"?  In that case, the "Insurance Offer" will be the only and final choice within UCAS?

Tommy, it is indeed a very difficult game to play! If you fail to match the first choice offer but manage to get much better result than your insurance offer, you can apply for a better course through adjustment before the end of August. There is no need to give up your insurance offer in order to apply for adjustment. Your insurance offer is safe until you decide to give it up yourself.
The big gamble of course is whether to keep a very low offer as insurance choice and to rely on adjustment if exam results are better, or to keep a not so low offer as insurance and rely on clearance if the exam results fail to match up. The problem is that there will be less vacant courses, especially the better ones, at the adjustment & clearing stage, so it really depends on what kind of a gambling man you are!
Good luck!

Well, life is difficult and forever full of gambling. Anyway......

My son plans to forfeit the offers given by his second and third priorities. If his final results exceed the conditions for the insurance offer (4th priority), can he do adjustment and go back to the 2nd and 3rd priorities?

Sorry for my greedy mind and difficult question.

You will have to check at that time whether they still have vacancy. If they do, you can certainly apply through adjustment but there is no guarantee they will accept you even if your results exceed their original offer.
By the way, you need to be well organised before the results come out so that you can jump into action as soon as possible. There is an element of 'first come, first serve' at that stage, especially for the popular courses!

據我所知,UCAS提供不到的成績,係要學生自己交給大學的。

我的女兒都係今年報大學。由於她最想入本地大學,所以報UCAS時,她只係提供最minimum的資料給agent在1月中的deadline前代報,甚至沒有給之前考的IGCSE成績。可能因為這樣,到現在都未收齊offer。

報了的大學都有給學生ID和password,用來上大學的網站或apps。其中兩間,見到有功能upload証書和成績。由於經agent代報,我都未有深究實際應如何提供DSE成績給大學。

現在,收到三間大學的offer,而condition都低過predicted grade不少。因此,我覺得UCAS的確可以在JUPAS以外提供有效的升大學安全網。

請教conditional offer 低過predicted grade 不少！？我們參考prospectus,嘅要求分數，再睇自己達標与否才去報某間大学，那是否實際大学開出嘅條件比prospectus 低，还是孩子优秀，那大学想儘早擇优，谢谢分享。

HKDSE的typical offer係prospectus應該揾唔到。要在各大學的網頁找,或在以下的考評局網頁找:

www.hkeaa.edu.hk/tc/recognition/hkdse_recognition/ircountry_hkdse.html?1

我女兒收到的offer的condition是所寫range的low-end,對比香港三大同樣學科收生的成績四分三位數低好多。
