7 gcse's at grade A or higher.

Colleges where i live dont do part time adult gcse across 7 subjects. Only english math and science
Like if i do english will that count as 1 GCSE or 2
Same with science and maths


Results arent through yet

English lit is 1, English lang 1, double award science is 2, separate sciences is 3, maths is 1

I only had the option for single science which consists of all 3 sciences but not sure which this falls into?! Thank you


Posted from TSR Mobile

I didnt actually know single science was allowed but I suppose I does make sense. Out school only allow double or triple

Posted from TSR Mobile

Is this generally whats required

I really dont know much.about it as I did separate sciences so havent had to research that sort of thing sorry. I'd just email the uni if in doubt

From my experience (and the requirements online) if unis do want science they want it to at least double.

But I've also learned that old people seem to get a free pass with a lot of unis when it comes to GCSEs. Of the 5 odd on my short list only two want anything more than B in English and maths.

I've had to self teach and sit IGCSEs in each science because NOWHERE does GCSEs at all other than maths and English - the two I don't need.

Theres no possibility in the world i can do double it contain biology chemistry and physics but its not classified as double im not sure if thats just laziness

Ah read you've already taken them. Well at least you can get an A in it.

I enrolled on an adult resit course straight after high school. Wasn't told until study leave in May that we were only being entered for foundation. Pretty much got full UMS in every paper and all of them were instantly worthless.

Is there any way around this with any other course
(So worried i cant spell hence edit)

Okay I think what you're doing is essentially the 1st half of double science. Therefore if unis come.back.asking for double you could self teach a few more.units. (1 for each science) and.that'd be all.
Double science is 2 separate gcse's where as single in 1.

Do i do exams for these self taught units . And get a certificate as proof. Sorry but never seen anyone with this issue

I'm suprised at the proportions here- from what I've seen at my own med school and what I've heard at others I'd have thought the percentage of people who get in 2nd time would be more like 40%. Never heard of anyone who tried applying more than twice though.
