Hey. I was expecting an A in English language and got an A*, and I got an A* in german (which I was). However I can't do both next year, what should I take if I want to do Linguistics? I'm also doing Biology, history and latin.

Hey everyone I got 7 A*/A grades today for my GCSEs (including English and Science) along with 2 Bs (one being Maths) and a C. Would this be good enough for me to apply to dentistry?

Im 1 UMS off an A* in Economics and English Literature, and 2 UMS off an A* in Biology and Physics. If I got them all re-marked, is there a chance I might get an A* in at least 2 of those 4?

Definitely English Lit, as it's subjective. I wouldn't bother with either science, as usually, you're either right or wrong, but the long answer questions could add a mark, so it depends on how you feel.

Seeing as no one is reply on the the other thread:

Can you resit GCSE English literature in November? Or is it only for language?
