Year 12s: what will be the first way you research your future options? >>

should i resit this many?

i'm in A2 at the moment and our resit slip deadline is very soon. I am studying three subjects (politics,sociology and english) but i only have 2 exams in january (because english is coursework). would it be sensible to use this as an advantage and do 4 resits to boost up my AS grades or is 6 exams altogether too much to handle in january??

I would say it's too many, unless your sixth form/college has study leave in January, then it would probably be do-able.

It's hard to say really without knowing what your results were and what you need, If you're going to have to resit to get the grades you need then obviously you'll have to do it but if you can get the grades you need by just resitting a few then I'd go for that. It can sometimes be easier to do really well in one exam to push your grade up than retake 2 and do well in both.
