Are A level modules worth resitting even if you got into university?

Am predicted ABB however after an exam yesterday, I'm almost 100% sure I have got ABC.

My firm offer is AAB and insurance is ABB. If I get into uni ( either firm, insurance or through clearing) do you think it is still worth it to resit modules for the subject I got C in?

I want to do economics at uni, and the C is in maths. My AS marks for maths are high, but my A2 marks are very low leading it to average a C. I'm pretty sure if I can resit, I can get an A or at least a high B.

Basically my question is, when you've already got into uni, is it worth resitting modules to change A level score. how much do employers consider a level grades over degree?

Thanks!

You can resit A levels while at university if you really want. Personally I wouldn't bother. Degrees are worth a lot more than A levels. It would be better for you to focus on doing well in your degree. You don't want to be distracted from your university studies.

No. I doubt they really care that much about your A levels when you have a good degree.

You never know, maybe you have done better in your exams than you think.
