Resitting gcse in sixthform?!

Thank you! You've made me less worried now considering all the options I have! Do you work for sixth form by any chance? I'm going to be going to Luton Sixth form. I believe I am going to be getting a high C however I need a B. Also do you know how much the fee is for resits?
Thank you again!

No problem! I don't work for a sixth form, I just know people who've been in the same situation as you. It's a stressful time I know but try not to worry too much. If you do end up with a high C, it would almost certainly be worth trying to get your paper remarked. I can't remember the fee for resits, but I don't think it's phenomenal, I guess it would be around £30-£40? Not too sure though...

The other people who have been in this situation has it turne out good for them? Did they get their courses? (Sorry for the questions, really worried and nervous)

Ask as many questions as you need, I honestly don't mind. For most of them it has, just keep positive, prove that you're dedicated to the subjects you want to take and it should all be okay. The only time it hasn't worked out is when the teachers believed they weren't hard-working or dedicated to the subjects, despite giving them a chance to prove themselves. You've just got to prove you're dedicated and willing to learn, however that may be.

Do you know how much?

I am hoenstly hardworking, I put sooo much time in revising it was unbelieveable but i messed up on the maths exam because I was so anxious and so focused i forgot to look at the time and i looked up at the clock one and there was 10 seconds left and I had many questions that I could have easily answered towards the back. I perpared sooo much and most of the questions could have been easily answered. I was annoyed because I knew the methodand how to get the answer but didn't watch the time. Completely my fault. So are you sure sixth form will let me do the science a levels and retake maths together and after i get the results either let me continue doing a level science or switch me to btec based on the results of the retake. HOPEFULLY I DON'T DO THE RETAKE AND GET THE B!

I believe you, you'll probably be surprised on Thursday when you get your result. It's hard not to think about GCSEs as you're so close to results day, but just try to relax for the next few days. Are you on Edexcel maths exam board? If the grade boundaries are released tomorrow, it might be worth looking at the boundary for a B grade, however it may make you worry more. I can't be 100% sure as each sixth form works differently, but I think you'd have a pretty good chance. And remember, if you get a high C grade, push for a remark! Also what job do you want to do? They may switch you to BTEC science, but again they may give you a chance.

I don't really want to do BTEC science because I am really strong at science and I want to do something o the medical side. Perhaps a pharmacist. Yes I am doing edexcel thats why I am worrying soo much because I know that the grade boundaries will be released tomorrow. Do you know any information or heard of any information about luton sixth form and what they do? Thats where I am going to be going!
P.S. Thank you for taking time out and replying/helping me! Apperciate it!

Your strength in science sounds promising to me. That might enhance your potential in doing Biology and Chemistry over the BTEC course. No, I haven't heard much about Luton Sixth Form, what are their results like? I think you'll be fine to be honest, keep having faith. And it's no problem.

Hey! I emailed one of the sixtj form members and they said if you want to retake maths you cant do the courses at the same time abd even if you get the required grade they cant give me the courses so late?????

Oh wow seriously?! I've never known any of my friends in that situation before, that's very tight. Our Sixth Form allowed you to retake whilst taking the course. Have you checked the grade boundaries for a B grade in Maths for 2016 yet?

I am absolutely guttered. They said it does not work like that. Also I saw the edexcel grade boundary and it has been the highest ever. 2009 was the last time a B was 105. Last years paper was 95 to get a B?! Hopefully I'll get the B. If I get a C i might do BTEC LEVEL 3 Applied Science. Do you know much about that? Is it Biology Chemistry?

That's such a shame, what a tough Sixth Form! How was your grade if you don't mind me asking? I don't know much about BTEC Level 3's at all unfortunately, that would be better off discussed with your Sixth Form.

I got an A* for science B for English but C for Maths. I was 3 marks off.

A sixth form is not the same as a college. Sixth forms don't have to support your resit, so if that is the case for you, you'd have to sit the exam as a private candidate which means that the school would have no affiliation with your examination. If your school does allow resits (with their support) then sure you can resit maths in November. But let's think positively, and hope that you got the grade that you need.
