We need to know the total UMS available per unit. It's probably possible but you'll need to work at it.

Would have posted in resits discussion but the sight of it makes me wanna cut someone :|
So I got ABBB (awaiting remark) at AS. Wanna do medicine (AAA)

Biology - A - 96% | (70%) | 90%
Chemistry - B - (73%) | (70%) | 90%
Maths - B - 84% | (71%) | (77%)
[History] - B - Awaiting remark and dropped

This January I will definitely have:
Maths C3+S2
Chem Unit 4
Bio Unit 4

Is it too ambitious to try and retake Chem 1 AND 2 plus Maths C2+S1 as well as my other modules? I feel capable of at A* in maths (it aint hard, I was just zoned lol), would even do C1 if I didn't have so many others because of how easy it is. Is it worth resitting Bio2 in Jan or waiting till June and potentially having more resits? Aaaanyone with advice would be cool or what would you do if you were me?

Right now I'm thinking: C2+S1 and Chem2 only :s-smilie:

or do I go with the 'do as many in jan as u can' cos then I have the chance to do them again in summer...

I would do C2 in the summer, and if you dont have many exams C1 aswell for extra ums, they seem easy compared to C3 and C4 so less revision would be needed. Do chemistry and stats in january but focus on the new exams and secure good grades in those, also means you get all stats modules out of the way so you can concentrate on core maths in the summer. Unless you are applying to unis that request to know ums I wouldn't personally do the biology retake in january, if needs be do it in the summer but if you do well in the january exam it wont be necessary, even if you want an A*.

You'd need to get an A in unit 2 to get a C overall without resitting unit 1.

What subject are we even talking about? And C overall? :s-smilie:

My post got merged from a thread about someone with an E in both their units... I wish common sense would be used a bit more when merging threads

Hi guys. Im just wondering which should i resit in January because in the universities im going to apply I need AAB-ABB.
My results are:

CHEM1:77 b
CHEM2:105 b
CHM3T:42 b
HBIO1:91 b
HBIO2:78 c :s-smilie:

HBIO3T:38 c
C1:77 b
C2:65 c
S1:69 c

So for AS I got:
H.Bio: 207 C
Chem: 224 B
Maths: 211 B

Im definitely resitting all maths in January but im not sure which unit/s from Chemistry and/or Human Biology I should resit and have a better chance to gain more marks.

I need your opinion guys.
Thank you :smile:

I'm doing maths , physics and chemistry in Jan too

I did absolutely terrible, ended up with BCDE in Maths, Computing, Physics, Further Maths. I think I'm one mark off an A in maths so I'll resit c4 where I got a D, I'll also be resitting M2 & FP3(both U's) aswell as CG3(U).

Am I right in thinking 80%+ overall in a subject is an A?
