Does my reappearing exam in the first year count as a backlog for university applications in UK?

If you reappeared for a first-year exam because you failed it, it will be counted as a backlog for university applications. Since you have cleared all your exams with no backlogs mentioned in your record, you should not face issues. UK universities focus on your final results, but be prepared to provide a no-backlog certificate if requested.
