Failed AS levels, will Colleges/6th Form allow me to retake?

What do u wanna do at uni?

Hi, I'm kinda torn between doing Accounting and Finance at Uni or Mathematics at Uni.

Have a word with your school and ask, if no then apply to do them at another college.

Hey guys, I'm kinda new to this.
Basically, this year hasnt been too great to me in terms of AS levels.
The A levels I chose were: Maths, Business, ICT, and Geography; and I got U's in all of them.
I deseprately want to carry on with A levels, and God willing, get to University. I have put up a brave face to my loved ones, but honestly deep inside, I feel depressed.
Anyways, I know retaking is my only option right now, but the thing is I want to carry on with AS Maths, and even though I failed at it, I believe if I try harder I can achieve a good grade from it (btw I know why I messed up this year).
Along with this information, I also have the following GCSEs: ABBBBCCCC (Maths, English Lang, English Lit, History, ICT, Bio, Chem, Physics, Panjabi).
Now knowing all this, do you think it's possible if other colleges/6th forms will take me in, and allow me to retake Maths again?
Thank you for reading this, and apologies if I worded it badly.

I was in the same situation as you, same GCSEs, same AS grades and i'm going into my masters year at Durham Uni dont give up

I would consider self-studying for your AS/A2 and do the exams as an external candidate at school, college or exam centre.

Wish you the best of luck!

It was DEFINATELY worth the read! This thread has just boosted my confidence, from finishing this article my confidence has increased, and I feel less depressed and more happy. Thank you so much for showing me this link!

My son did badly in his AS exams and was allowed to redo the year and didn't do much better and was told to do BTECS however an excellent, large college has told me he can start all over again and do what he wants. My son is like you and refuses to go down the BTEC route and really wants to do well in his A levels (this will now take 4 years!!). Some colleges want to see determination to succeed. Best of luck!

Its fine, I wrote it. If you got any questions just ask.

Thanks for responding Wendy! Knowing that a college offered your son a place, does give me confidence that hopefully I will have an offer. I hope your son aces his A levels!
