Staying another year at college?

just finished my last A2 exams but tbh i dont think they went too well....

i need ABB to do pharmacy but im worried that i wont achieve this......

incase i dont achieve them what are my options?

could i go through clearing and get into a foundation year in another course first?

is it possible to sit another year, for a total of 3yrs in college? to improve my grades because tbh i know i could have worked a little harder

only problem is that im not sure if unis accept re-sit students for pharmacy?

anyone plz advise me on what would be the best option for me?

thnx in advance for your help

Call the Uni's and see if they take re-sits.

Do unis frown upon ppl who sit an extra year regardless of what course you do?
I stayed for a third year at college.

First year - I chose to do French, Spanish, History and Law, but I didn't like History and Law at all, so I dropped them half-way through the year, and completed the year with just AS French and AS Spanish.

Second year - I took up AS Classics, so finished the year with AS Classics, A2 French, and A2 Spanish

Third year - I decided I wanted to improve my French grade (I had got a C first time round for A2), so I retook A2 French, and also did A2 Classics, and GCSE Italian.

So I ended up with A-levels in French, Classics, and Spanish.

There was no problem with me going to uni - my having been at college for 3 years didn't even come up!
