Is it worth resitting Further Maths?

Hi all

I received my A level grades today.
I acheived A* in Maths., A in Physics and B in Further Maths. I’m 2 marks from an A in Further Maths (and I have sent for a remark), but unfortunately I didn’t make either my Firm or Insurance.

My question is: is it worth taking the year out and resitting Further Maths or is it better to accept a lower tier university than I was aiming for? Do universities generally discriminate against those who resit an exam, even if it is just one?

Universities don’t discriminate if you retake. That’s a decision you want to take. I’ll be honest you really don’t need too, you’ve achieved amazing grades. I’m sure you’ll be able to get into a course of your course with the grades provided. What would have helped your grades would also be an A in an EPQ. That would have rounded your B in further maths to an A. But I promise your maths and further maths won’t make a difference as long as it’s maths and you’ve achieved either a B or an A.

Hello if you don’t mind me asking do you have any tips for getting an A in physics since I’m finding it pretty hard right now. Also if you don’t mind sharing what where the grade requirements for for your firm and insurance and the university.
