English Lit- B
Geography- E
French Reading- E( I got an A in writing ca and we haven't done any work on reading paper in class)
RE- F resitting

Additional Science- E possibly resitting
If I did a BTEC I would do a BTEC LEVEL 3 EXTENDED DIP IN BUSINESS

A Levels every time - Just try harder for your actual exams.

If you don't get at least Bs at GCSE you will seriously struggle at a-level. Looking at your results, btec would probably be best, but if the results are due to lack of motivation/revision, then perhaps consider a-level, especially if you think you can do better.

You can always apply for both a-level and btec, then when you get your results you can go for whichever. Some colleges don't let you take a-level unless you get a C/B at GCSE, so you should probably be aware of this.
The college doesn't offer a levels
