Maths

Do you think a university would let me still study with them if I have more then what I need A level wise but only a D in GCSE Maths?

depends on the course and university, but universities -tend- to focus more on your A-levels :smile:

however if it's something like medicine, probably not, but you never know

Don't you have to resit if you get less than a C??

Most have a minimum requirement of C in English and Maths sadly. So you'll probably need to retake the exam unless of course you do a maths a-level. :redface:

You don't necessarily even need good qualifications to do a degree, so I certainly don't think it'll matter too much if you don't get a C in the Maths GCSE. Only top universities will want good GCSE's as well as A levels. Even if you don't manage to get into a uni, but I'm sure you will, you could apply at the open university, which is widely respected, due to their stringent marking-so it just means you might have to work a bit harder, but it's also less pressure.

Good luck with your exam
