Hi guys. I did my IGCSE's and I got really bad grades in some of the crucial subjects. (I am too ashamed to mention the grades. Just understand they are really bad) Because I am focusing on Business as my field. I have stopped at O-levels and going to start college. Unexpectedly/Thankfully a not so bad college has accepted me in Canada (Centennial). What I am worried about is, if later on when I am applying to Unis, I won't face an issue because of my IGCSE grades. 1 or 2 counsellors told me they won't have value after college and Unis will look at your college grades. I am just facing doubts whether I won't have a problem then... I was considering a retake because I am definitely sure I can get better grades. (PS: I have performed way better previously on almost all exams except math) I was just distracted playing games and didnt study enough.
What I want to know is... Is the retake worth it? Since I have gotten bad grades in most subjects. I want to retake, Maths, English language and literature, Business, and IT/Bio. Not that I have gotten bad grades in all of these, but I just kinda want a clean new certificate. Another question I have is. If I retake and get better grades,Can I hide/disregard the other old certificate when applying to colleges/unis.
Awaiting your reply. Thanks
