Should I retake maths gcse?

A grade C in maths is not a bad thing at all. However, if you were capable of doing the higher paper, it's a real shame that you weren't able to. Because you could have picked up the B you need.

Personally, I would say go for it if you have the time, and drive, to study for it again. There's past higher GCSE papers available for free online if you go to your exam board's website. Have a go at a higher paper, and see how you feel with it. If you find it doable, I'd say go for it! If you find it hard, just bear in mind you're going to have to find the time to study for it, on top of everything else you have to do But the hard work will be worth it in the end!

Hope that is some help!

I did not study maths at college. i studied it on my own. but i managed to get good result in it..
I'll say go for it good woman

Well considering I haven't been taught any of higher tier, I'm going to find things tough if I just simply open up a past paper. Which précis easiest? I have this summer to learn it if I want to I suppose?

There will be some things you'll be able to do on the higher tier paper. Some of the questions are in fact the same as the equivalent foundation paper! So if you have a look at a higher tier paper, you might be surprised how much of it you do know already
