Does one bad GCSE grade actually matter?

Hey,

So I think I've got all A*-B grades in my GCSES, apart from one - Physics. I will most likely get a D or an E in it. I'm not studying it next year (obviously) and I probably got A*s in what I'm doing at A Level and what I'm eventually going to do at university. If I do get a D/E in Physics, will this put me at a disadvantage when applying for university?
Nope, i failed history.

Since i did not want to do it for A level it did not matter.


If you have 5 A*-C grades in everything else then surly failing one subject won't be a big deal.

It probably wont matter as long has you have your English and maths along with 3 other A*-Cs.

If you don't want to study physics further or have any kind of career based around physics then you should be okay!

Good luck! :smile:
