Similar to me, I'm considering an apprenticeship. I can't retake, I just can't. Hopefully I'll be allowed to continue into A2 but I doubt it. I got a D in English Language and Literature. E in Sociology and a unwanted U in Philosophy and Ethics.

Do you know why you got those results? I mean, did you find those subjects incredibly difficult from start to finish? Did you not revise like you should've etc?

Only you really know why got those results right? So you need to consider what you could of done to have changed it.

I mean these are AS results remember, so they have no forbearing on your actual A-level results since you don't carry your AS marks forward.

I would speak to your teachers and work closely with them in order to see where you went wrong and how you can improve.

I don't think you should resit. I think you should carry on. The U is really unfortunate. I only got a U in an AS exam because I didn't revise. And once I revised the following year, I got a B. You can only get a U if you answered the wrong question, failed to engage with the question or just didn't answer it. I would definitely ask your Psych teachers to recall your paper and go through it with you.

Best of look hon!

i understand where i went wrong however i don't feel my school will accept me taking psychology with a U no matter what however i will look through the pope as you suggested with my teacher, maybe if i show her the effort and commitment are there she will be more lenient

Have you spoken to your tutors to look at what your options can be?

Update.

I know what I might do IF I'm not able to continue to do A2.

I'm going to take on a BTEC alongside English Language and Literature. Really try my best to gather enough UCAS points needed to get into University.

A big IF.

what BTEC would you be able to take alongside that?

I just went through a resit year and it was worth it. I got DEEU last year and improved it to BBBE this year even though I was expected to get higher. The year went really quickly, I spent more time doing work and deadlines just flew by. I think when you resit a year, and you know less people in the year, it is easier to work hard. Although, two of my AS grades now don't count towards A2 and I'm dropping the E grade which I had planned from the start of the year. So at least now I will have a solid set of predicted grades and can work towards a high target feeling more confident of achieving.
