Retaking Gcse in yr12

Hi guys,

In August when I got my results I was proud of them, i especially did well in subjects such as history, french, and classics. But it was only later in October I decided to change to biology and Chemistry and kept classics. I did this because i wanted to go into dentistry. I am now working my hardest to get good grades but the only thing that's pulling me back is my GCSE grades. I think I won't be considered for dental school with my grades. I was very lazy and didn't want to try my best in GCSE. In subjects like Maths, I got a 4 and In English lang and lit, I got 5. You need at least a 7 in both maths and English and also in science, I got a 5. I did terribly. I don't know whether I should retake and it will be so much work as i am already struggling to cope with bio and chem. Another 2 subjects would be unbearable and what if I do retake and I don't get higher than what i originally got. Could I still retake it? and do I have to do it privately as i think the people who are retaking did it in November in my Sixth form I don't know what to do?

For any yr11s reading, try your absolute hardest in all your subjects. You don't want to end up like me
