    Need urgent help!!!!
    Hi there. I am an 16-year-old doing his GCSE's at School.
    So far i am Achieving a B in English and Maths and R.E (But R.E is only worth 1/2 a GCSE) , Im getting a Distinction* in BTEC ICT (Worth 4 GCSE's) and a Pass in BTEC Science (Worth 2 GCSE's). Sadly i am doing Terrible in GCSE Graphics , Geography and History (Getting a C,D,G). I Also have Level 2 Functional Skills in Maths and English, and a Level 1 FCSE in French worth 1/2 GCSE at a Distinction. I Want to take A-Levels at College but you need at Least 5 A*-Cs at all A-Level colleges.

    There's some questions i need answering if you don't mind.
    Is that good enough?
    Is BTEC Recognised as 1 GCSE OR 2?
    Is Level 2 FS in Maths and English worth a GCSE or anything?
    Is my FCSE French worth anything?
    Will college count RE as 1 GCSE?

    Thank you for your time and please help me , i am so worried.

    Hello,

    To me, it seems like you are panicking... The year before mine did the half a gcse business and you will be able to put it down but it would have to saii "half a gcse"

    And for all your other questiions... when I was like you I went to see my school councillor/ college application form filler (all tha same person)... she was great and helped me a lot...

    If you have anyone like that, you could talk to, go for it... after all it's your life Good luck x

    Your FS in Maths + Eng count for nothing if you have the GCSEs

    So
    Maths
    English
    RS (1/2)
    French (1/2)

    This is 3 ... even if the college only could Btecs at single value you have 5


    What do you want to take A levels in
    Looking at your successes it might be better looking at a Btec Extended Diploma

    I want to take AS/A Level Maths,English,Bussiness and Accounting.
    I Think that the FCSE is at a grade D due to it being level one.
