So, I did the AQA Foundation Linear Maths non-calculator exam this afternoon and let's just say I'm not feeling confident AT ALL. I think I might get an E. The thing is, in order to go to college, I need get 'Cs and above' in at least 5 subjects. Fortunately, I think my Art, English Language, English Literature and Religious Studies exams went well and I should hopefully get 'Cs and above' in those subjects. I also feel confident that I'll get a good grade in Sociology (C or maybe a B0. I'm doing two BTEC courses: ASDAN and Science, and I'm expected to pass both. I also think my Citizenship and IT exams went well but I'm unsure whether I'll pass those subjects.
I want to study Art, Media Studies and English Language & Literature at college but seeing as I haven't done so well in the Maths exam, will I have to do GCSE Maths at college and will it cost a huge amount of money to do so. I KNOW it's incredibly important to pass Maths but I just don't think I've managed to get a C.
My college sent me this email:
Usually if the student has 5 A-C grades for their GCSE including English (not maths) we do allow the students to take A levels but they cannot do an A levels where Maths grade C/B is required. At the end of the day it will be up to the teacher’s discretion.
