Hi guys!
I’m new here! I’m 37 and I’ve been out of education for a long long time! I am thinking about redoing my maths GCSE so I can go on to do an Access to HE (which requires a C in maths I got a D 😞) I believe I will have to do the maths GCSE, then the Access to HE, then uni, then the pre reg and then qualify. Which seems really really overwhelming. I don’t want to cut corners ofcourse, but is there any way of doing some of these together so I’m not studying until in nearly 50 😆
I wasn’t a great student, although I loved studying. I was bullied a lot and had counselling twice a week in the last 2 years of high school which took me out of most of my maths classes. So I’m finding it hard to detach my negative emotions from maths. Basically I’d like to get it done asap, but it’s also not my strongest point.
I know what I need to do to get to where I want, I just don’t know if it’s the best way, and if I’ll be able to stick it out for so long.
Is it even possible to study for the GCSE privately between now and august then do the exams privately and get results by September to start the access? Or is that wishful thinking?
