Should I retake my AS biology exam?

I am now in A2 and have my last exam in June.
I am dithering over whether to retake my January exam from AS or not.
I need to get an A overall.

Here's the breakdown;
Jan AS - 67/90
June AS - 130/150
ISA - 36/60

Jan A2 - 74/90
ISA - around 42/60

I worked out that I need to get 131 out of 150 in my June exam if I don't retake.
But if I do retake I will need to bring that B up to an A and get a few more marks.
But the question is, do you think it's worth it because I will have to revise all the retake stuff again and it could potentially affect my June exam.

If you have any advice, then pls help!!

Retake is in 2 weeks and I don't want to do it if I'm going to fail \:

I'd say it's potentially worth it, cover all the stuff for june first though and then go back. June's exam is of higher priority than this though, as you already have a fairly decent grade for module 1.

I'd say focus on the June paper, you've done better in a2's so far and almost got what you need the the comparative AS paper. You will be better off working your arse off and getting a really high mark on the one paper than getting high marks on two papers?

Thanks for your comments.
Rainbowbex - think I will do this, going to withdraw from the retake tomorrow and I'm working really hard for the June unit!!

Thanks!

I hope it works :smile:
