My school requires you to get at least a B in the subject you have chosen to do at A Level. :smile:

Maths: Some sixth forms require you to achieve an A at GCSE, others a B grade. Check with your sixth form about this because they do differ.
F Maths: Typically, most sixth forms require an A* in your Maths GCSE, some allow an A. Once again, check with your sf.
Econ: Grade B or higher in Maths and English
Phys: BB in Double Science (core and additional) or B in Physics and a B in Maths. Once again this does differ so check. :smile:

C. For subjects that are not compulsory at GCSE, all you generally need is 5 A*-C at GCSE (including English and Maths) Entry requirements for "core subjects" such as Maths and the sciences, are generally higher and more subject specific.

I'll take my sixth form as an example:

Maths - A
FM - A*
Economics - B in English & a related subject
Physics - AA or BBB

Have you already achieved that?
I don't think they'll accept that as an alternative. But if you get a D in language, they might allow you to resit GCSE English Language alongside your A-levels...

You'll also need that C or above in English Language to get into a university btw.

And if you can get a B in Lit, you could easily achieve a C in Eng.Lan tbh.

Currently, I'm two marks into a B for English language, but my teacher said the grade boundaries might go up :frown:
