Maths GCSE

aj_since 1989

Hey guys, just a quick question.. At GCSE i did pretty well only i got a C in Maths.. My AS- levels were ABBBC and i am prdeicted ABB/AAB FOR A2 level.. This in theory should allow me to apply to pretty good uni's but i am being restricted by my Maths GCse as some uni's say minimum grade B.. Is it worth still applying to some uni's that want B GCSE maths???

You'd be better off asking the unis.

Well, first of all you should ask the unis yea.. second of all, I guess its always okay to risk it with 1 of your five choices, you never know. Annd thirdly, if you have a better grade at AS maths then its not a problem at all, but i'm guessing you didnt take maths?

as long as you get your predicted grade at A level they won't pay much attention to your gcse grades, i hope. good luck in the future i'm sure you will succed in whatever you do.

Some universities are very strict on there GCSE requirements if you have not taken the subject at a more advanced lvl. I know Nottingham wont let you do FAM without a B in Maths regardless of how good your A lvls were. Where as Loughborough if your A lvls involve Maths to a degree may still take you however your tutors of those subjects your speaking of must write in support of your application.
