9A* 1A and 1B at GCSE is this good enough?

Undec

Later on in life when I apply to Uni will this look good or will they look down upon the fact that I got the B. ;?

It is beyond good!

No one cares, unless the B is the subject you're applying for. Or something very closely related (i.e. maths for physics/engineering degrees), and even then a good A level result in the subject will mean that no one cares about GCSE

Your grades are fine. Just make sure your a-levels are just as good as they count more to universities.
What do you want to do at university if you know?

That's why he's only asking about the B. I'd be worried as well if I was applying to something competitive

I'm honestly not, I wanted a honest opinion from the members on this forum, which a lot of go to good Uni's and have experience with the education system. I'm sorry if it sounded like I was bragging or something but maybe thats why I got the B in English Language.

No you're going to fail with those laughable results. Good luck bud.

Seriously tho, they're great. That B will not come back to haunt you. Nice results!

The B was in English Language.
Thing is I either want to do Law, Economics or something around that.
Bit concerned tbh

Not even Oxford or Cambridge will care about that B. You'll be fine.

Do GCSE results matter that much when you go to uni?

Anyway, you got 9A*s so you'll be fine. I only got 1 :tongue:

I only got 1 A* (and about a million A's) and I'm perfectly happy with that.

With a set of results like those, you should be able to go anywhere, unless the B is in a closely related subject to what you want to do.

But even then, you have 2 years to rectify.
