What do you want to do after GCSEs, i.e. A levels, University etc.

They're perfectly fine, besides after a few months of A level they pale into insignificane, purely because universities for the most part dont care about GCSE's.

I imagine those are good enough for most courses. A-Levels are generally more important anyway (presuming you're at college/ 6th form). I suppose that if you know a couple of the Cs just missed out on a B, then it might be worth seeing about resitting your last exams in those subjects, but I imagine you have enough work to do at the moment without GCSE exams too!

Good.

But ace your a-levels so you can really stand out.

yeah they're good for the majority of courses.. just really competitive ones which may want higher.. but then again even with medicine good a levels/ ukcat score can overshadow them so don't worry :biggrin:
