depends on the collage itself, if you want to go to do your a-levels at the same school as you did your gcse maybe you can work something out, there not like the requirements at uni, you can negotiate with them.

btw how did you fail your gcses, some are getting easier, my maths a-level class were told to do the new gcse maths course paper for fun and the lowest was a A, and we took this right at the gaining of AS level so we didnt have any a-level experience, we were pissed because our year was the last one to do the harder gcse math course.

Then you don't go to college, it's that simple. If you don't get the grades they want, they won't accept you. There are still people who don't have a provisional place at college, and on GCSE results' day if they get the grades the college needs and you don't, they'll take your place and you'll be left with nothing.

It depends what the college offer. If you don't meet the requirements for your chosen course, you'll normally be offered something else e.g. if you wanted to do 4 AS levels but get a D in GCSE Maths (say), they'll usually expect you to take 3 AS levels and to resit your GCSE. If you don't meet the requirements for A-levels at all, you'll probably be offered "level 2" courses (equivalent to GCSE A*-C), which are often 1 year vocational courses and you'll probably be asked to resit core subject GCSEs, then you could go on to A-level courses the following year, spending 3 years at college in total.

There are still plenty of doors open if you don't get the GCSE grades you need. The people who are saying 'well you just won't get into college' as if thats the end of it are almost certainly wrong. There'll be something available, even if it's not what you initially wanted.

Maybe that’s because your class has been studying the subject for an extra year (with more lessons) it’s defiantly not just suddenly got easier, since you took it.

OP: No one can really answer this; it depends solely on your college. If you don't meet the offer you may still get a place, but if you don’t get the grade phone up the college (preferably on the day you get them). As it's a college they probably won’t allow you to retake all of the subjects you did, normally, they just offer English language, Maths and Science - so you can reach the min. requirements for uni's.

But more than likely you've done better then you first though (so try not worry about it now)!

That's a little harsh
