Hey, I want to do biomedical sciences and most of my courses require: AAA,AAB or ABB. In my AS grades I got: Biology:B-> 228 UMS Maths: C-208 UMS so 2 points off a B Chemistry: D-> 172 UMS
I was thinking of redoing chemistry and core 1 and core 2 to boost my grades. I'm pretty secure in my understanding of core 1 and core 2 though.
Sorry you've not had any responses about this. Are you sure you’ve posted in the right place? Posting in the specific Study Help forum should help get responses.
I'm going to quote in Tank Girl now so she can move your thread to the right place if it's needed.

Is this realistically possible or not?
Hi! I sat all of the chemistry exams this year, and I've turned out with an A this year, so I would definitely say it is possible, as a lot of AS knowledge is in A2 so it isn't a massive addition to do both the AS exams! (I got a low B at AS, as long as you're motivated you could definitely get a B and an A if you really try, and I would say to start your practice, now!!) Hope this is of help!

Thank you for the positivity, it was definitely needed!
You definitely can and a lot of people do. I would advise that you sit in AS classes as well as A2 rather than just revise AS in your spare time; you will get fewer frees but you're more likely to do much better that way. Good luck
If you plan to improve, you will need to do MORE work in preparation for the re-takes than you did the first time round - else why do you expect to do better?
Put yourself in the schools of the current year elevens, they won't be taking exams in year twelve - all their exams will be at the end of year thirteen! i.e. if they can do it, so can you.
yes! i got an E at the end of AS. My teacher told me id be lucky to get a grade at all which resulted in me wanting to prove her wrong so badly i redid both AS exams in my A2 year and ended with a high C. Surprising what can happen if you put your mind to something

I think its definitely possible if you put your mind into it, work hard and take some additional help from a good tutor.

I just wanted to know was it hard doing A2 and studying for chem AS at the same time??
