Hey, I’m retaking two of my A Levels (Biology and French). The plan was to take a gap year to travel but I didn’t get the grades so I’m just retaking instead:smile:

I'd say you should try and get revising really early. And do a LOT of past papers, as many as you can. Get up to speed with your notes and try and keep on top of them.
