Retake or restart the year???? I need help!!

I received my results yesterday and they weren't great and now I can't stay at the school..

I got:
U - Maths
U - Economics
U - Psychology
E - Music

I'm in London and I don't know whether to retake year 12 or to resit all the exams, but if I was to retake, I'm not sure where to go either.

Could anyone give advice?

Also, if I resit all my exams, would it effect my UCAS application, like -> would universities know, and would it be on my record? Does retakes also show on the record?

If I was to retake my exams, would that be better?

Please could someone give some advice

Thanks

Mate to be frank, resitting the year would mean you have a fresh start with a clearer mind. If you were to retake you'd have the pressure of the AS exams plus the A2 exams. By your results maybe rethink are they the subjects for you.

u sure A levels are for you? I'd say do a BTEC level 3 and get into uni that way

Would advise to redo the year. Otherwise you'll practically have to do 3 full A-levels within a year which will be very tough.

Don't think it'd affect your ucas app unless you're applying to top unis or med/dentistry where they specify a-levels must be taken over 2 years.

The thing is, I mucked up the exams by not revising enough and not practising techniques and all. I just now hope to find a sixth form and although I know I got really **** grades, I want to try again and hope to do A levels if possible..

Would you know any schools or colleges that can do retake A levels in London?

Also, thanks for letting me know about that, it's really helpful

Would you be able to suggest how I could think of which subjects are the ones, I don't actually know what to do with my life and the only thing I'm certain with is Music.

What grades were you expecting?

What grades were you expecting?

I was expecting at least B's, or C's or even D's to stay at the school

I found out after a year when I failed miserably that I didn't do enough to achieve the potential grades which were B's and C's, but due to leaving revision late and not actually practising past papers just lead to make it worse
