Lower grades than entry requirements for uni

Id usually advise not to go for courses that you dont have the grades for however with an A* in English and only 1 grade lower than the requirements that should be fine and I'd say youve got a alright shot.

You dont need to retake chem but it'll only do you good - given that youre taking a gap year it shouldnt be a problem to spend a couple months on a bit of revision for chem before retaking in october

Their are no resits for A levels in October anymore that's only because of covid cancellations the next chance to do the exams are 2024 summer

Hi there,

A question about entry requirements for studying English Literature at university - I'm taking a gap year so I haven't applied this year, but the courses I'm looking at have grade entry requirements of ABB. I take bio, chem and english but (and this is worst case) there is a chance I get a C in chem.

I'm predicted A* for English and A for bio (though I won't get below a B for it). I also took an EPQ (which I wrote a book for) and going off the raw marks I got, alongside past grade boundaries, I'll probably get a B.

Would I have to retake my chemistry A-level if I didn't get a B?

Thank you.

ask the unis in which you are interested whether they would consider your application without a resit before you submit it.
