I've decided to DROP a LEVEL 3 Extended Diploma and instead resit and take GCSEs!!

I'm resiting mine as a betec will get me nowhere

I got 3 GCSEs. Maths (B), chemistry (B), physics (C).

Biology was at a grade D but that was due to getting a U in B3 which was a unit that we were not taught and I was unable to revise it and had some other problems during exam time that I've not mentioned to anyone.

The course required 5 A*-C but I was given it anyway because I persuaded them to let me do the A levels but they couldn't do that so they offered this since my science grades aren't too bad and I seemed really committed

If you are set for A levels, resit GCSE's at that college you found.

I think that is the best option

Good luck

No i'm taking a gap year and resiting privately

Go for it. Sounds like you know what you want and why.
When I went to a sixth form college, a friend/acquaintance resat her GCSEs though she had enough to enter A levels. At first we were all like why, what's the point but she explained that her grades though were enough, limited the subjects she could take at A level and because she needed some of the subjects for her course at university, this influenced her decision. In the end, she ended up doing extremely well the second time round getting better grades, I'm talking about A*- B which definitely gave her more options at AS. In the end, a lot of us ended up repeating year 12 so we're all in the same year again lol instead, this time she had more options to what subjects she could study at AS.

Thanks very much and thanks a lot for sharing this.

Have I made a good choice by dropping a level 3 extended diploma which is the equivalent to 3 A levels to do my GCSEs this year instead? I then plan to do A levels from next year after having sorted my GCSE grades out but this year I'll focus on getting good GCSE grades. Have I made the right choice considering my GCSE grades were really bad (less than 5)?

let us know the update

good luck with whatever ou choose to do.
