A Level help?

That's not strictly true. I needed six B's (and a C in Maths and English) to get into my chosen 6th form, my own school had no requirements. (It was a terrible, failing school though).

You're good at English, have you considered doing that instead of, say, Law or PE? Those two would be your less attractive choices.

Do work hard on your maths though as having less than a C will hold you back in many areas including some 6th forms, but also university and job applications. Check what minimums the police force require, and also check what counselling courses require. Psychology at university for example requires at least a C, often a B at GCSE Maths.

If your school says you need at least 5 A*-C grades including Maths and English, you need 5 A*-C grades including Maths and English. This can't be put any other way really, and not every school is the same. (My sixth form requires 9 B grades)

I don't see how you expect the users of TSR to tell you what YOUR school's requirements are; you can easily enough find that out for yourself.

If you want an opinion on whether or not "5 A*-C grades including Maths" means you need an A*-C grade in maths, then yes, it would appear so.

Are your school force-feeding you foundation? because that never worked for me perhaps higher maths might be better, Are you revising? Are you checking homework with your teachers? Are you making your own time to study maths? Its YOU who decides the future, if you focus on all your attention on your other subjects your going to neglect maths. Also right now I'm going to say chemistry alevel requires ALOT of maths so get used to that if you do get your C

Yeah they sadly are! I'm retaking it, I did the maths GCSE throughout years 9 and 10, and I got a D. So they put me in to do the linear paper. I asked to do higher, and they refused, which is annoying, because I feel I should of had the right to decide if I wanted to do higher or foundation. I plan on doing a lot of revision next week.

Really stupid, they put me on the higher ''trying to get a c class'' and I got a B, Higher requires 52/200 marks for a C, also without putting me on higher I wouldn't be scoring 100% in alevel maths after failing to get a C twice in march and November entries, In June finally nailed it and enjoying alevel maths!

I actually found out yesterday that I got a C in maths so it's all good! I proved them wrong alright!

Hey, I'm kind of new here haha,

But, anyway I'm extremely worried that I'm not going to get into sixth form, due to the fact I might not get a C in maths. I'm predicted an A in English, B in Additional Science (I already have a C in CORE) B in PE, C in Art, A* in Health and Social Care, C in RE, A in IT and a C in History. I actually want to be a Police Officer, or a Counsellor. So for my A level options, I thought of choosing; Law, Psychology, PE and Chemistry.

Apparently you have to have at least 5 A*-C including Maths and English to get in Sixth Form. That's all I know because my school hasn't gave me or other students much guidance. So does anyone know if you actually have to have at least a C in Maths? I'm seriously worried...
