should i do a law conversion or resit my a levels

doing a law degree through clearing hasn’t worked out for me. i’m not sure whether i pick a different degree through clearing and later do the law conversion (i’ve heard it’s quite stressful and it’s an extra expense) or do i resit a couple of my a levels and try again? i know for sure i want to do law so it’s hard for me to decide

Do you intend to become a barrister? If you intend to become a solicitor, you just need a degree + SQE.
For roles as a barrister, you need an LLB + bar course or a degree + PGDL + bar course

I wouldn't have thought it was that much more expensive to do a PGDL than a year at uni for an undergrad. See the following for example:

You shoudl be able to get funding for the PGDL considering it's a Level 7 on the NVQ, which is higher than the Level 6 for a bachelor's degree, so you won't be subjected to the ELQ policy and fund everything yoruself.

I want to go the barrister route so would definitely have to do the PGDL. When you say 'get funding' does that mean like student finance, as in a debt I would have to pay back? Either way, the cost isn't the number 1 reason deterring me from going that route, it's just an added factor. I think my main issue is trying to pick a degree I want to study in depth for 3 years when I've wanted to go the law route for years and have dedicated so much time in reading and research and work experience. But I will consider this, thank you so much for the reply.
