I never did GCSEs myself but one of my classmates I remember had failed his in Mathematics IGCSE back in 2013. He retook it as the school gave him provisional admission for sixth form and got a D, then did his AS levels a term late and studied like hell to scrape an A somehow (he kept saying he wasn't sure how he'd managed it). To everyone's surprise, he ended year 13 with an A grade in math where he'd entered it with a U.

EDIT: Also, he's now headed to Warwick for mechanical engineering :smile:

GCSEs: A*BBBCCDDDD

A-levels: A*BB
