My cousin is really upset about her AS Grades

That would seem pretty sensible or she could retake the year and ve commited to improving. She has one chance to retake AS old syllabus in 2017. Maube she would be ok with sociology, but biology is a lot to make up, hence being suitable for a resit. Its a long jump from E to A or B.

My friend also received the same grades during 2013 AS exams, C in chemistry D in Physics and E in Maths, he spent one whole year studying for repeating his AS exams, and in the next year 2014, he got straight 4 As with a additional 4th subject English.
My advice to you is to talk to her and convince her that bad AS grades doesn't mean that it's the end of the world, she can always try again and succeed.

She's not doing the old syllabus she's doing the new specification so her sociology and biology AS grade does not count towards her final grade for the at A Level. Yes there is a big jump from an E to an A but I told her its possible if she really knuckles down this year.

Do you suggest she repeats the year? since its the new A Level and her sociology and biology do not count this year do you think she should carry it on and work really hard? As I said I thought she should repeat her health and social care AS as it did count for 50% of her A Level.

She has to be realistic and honest about her ability and how motivated she is.

Well it depends on her, tell her to talk to her school advisors. If she's confident enough, then go ahead and carry it forward to AL.

Ok i'll speak to her and thank you for your help

That is true I think she is willing to put in the hard work so I told her to carry on with sociology and biology and retake her health and social care AS we'll have to see what her sixth form says on enrolment day about this option

Its about timing. she should talk to her teachers. Id be wary of needing to make such a big improvement.

yeah lets see what her teachers say first and thank you for your help
