    Retaking Maths
    I'm finishing my maths A level this year and I'm on track for a B.
    Would it be better to retake my maths AS level next year and hopefully get that whole grade up to an A. However I'm not sure if oxford would still accept that, any idea's?

    Thanks in advance.

    I don't mean to be brutal, but if you're thinking of applying to Oxford for any maths related subject and you're struggling to get an A in just normal maths, Oxford may not be the university for you.

    To answer your question more fully, Oxford wants your A levels to be done and completed in a two year period, so I'm not sure they'd be overly keen on that, sorry.
