OKAY - I NEED SOME OPINIONS
This is relating to my Physics GCSE:
I got my Physics controlled assessment mark today and it was an A
I am thrilled, especially considering I despise controlled assessments.
BUT, I really wanted an A* overall in Physics, as it's one of my favourites, but this grade wasn't enough to pull my As in P1 and P2 up. Basically in P3 I would need 84 UMS, which is impossible - 80 is the max with my exam board.
So, I'm considering resitting P2 and have discussed this with my teacher.
P1 - A - 71/80
P2 - A - 67/80
CA - A - 66/80
I only need 52 UMS (which is a C) in P3 to get an A overall, but I would like an A*. I can't resit the controlled assessment, which is my lowest unit. My next lowest unit is P2. In P1 I was one mark off an A*, so if I get a high A* in P2 and P3, I can comfortably get an A* overall.
P1 was lower than I would have wanted as I did it so early (Year 10 January) and P2 was a nasty paper. I'm really strong with P3 and I'm confident that I can easily relearn P2 and now that I'm older and have more experience with exams, be ready to take on any paper.
But, the cons are that it is at the same time as P3, so that's a bit inconvenient. It's also an extra exam to learn for.
I'm 99% sure I will resit, but I would like to hear some opinions.
Thanks
