It is wise to retake your science GCSE if you want to do it for A Level?? most university would prefer to have science GCSE at a C grade or above but mostly look at maths and english at at least a C grade. What year are you in currently?

Are you going into year 12? if you are and you want to do physics i suggest you speak to the teacher that is head of physics to allow you to do this however physics is an extremely hard A Level subject that requires a lot of hard work and maths skills!! What was your GCSE grade for maths?
There is a possibility for you to repeat your GCSE sciences speaking to the exam office at your school but there would be so much for you to do on top of A Level s and GCSE sciences in your best interest i suggest you choose another subject?

I started hanging around with bad people and I was expected A* in Maths and got C. I was top of my class but I really slacked off and never revised and eventually I did mediocre without much help. I blame myself but I am determined to take this opportunity and neglect all the bad people and achieve A* also I want to resit Maths

For Science my school does not do it but for Maths I think they do but only for resits. I'll talk them tomorrow I really flopped my Gcse I got 5c's and 3b's passed everything but I didn't achieve my desired results. For some subjects like History I got B in the exams but F in the last paper, I came 30 mins late and left 4 questions.

Speak to your school and see what happens all the best
