I got an E grade in Maths in my first GCSE exams. I know its a bad grade but at first I thought that I would fail but I didn't.
I am going to do my A-level.
Should I resit in maths GCSE exams as a private candidate.?

Sorry, I'm a bit confused. :colondollar:

Are you an A Level Maths student?

As far as I am aware quite a few jobs and unis ask for a pass grade (which is a C) in GCSE Maths.

No, I am not a A level Maths student......... I sat for O level cambridge exam (maths) last year and got my results this year. My math's grade is bad and I want to do the exam again as a private student while doing my A level now.
I chose Accounting, Business studies, economics as main in A level and computer science as sub.
What your opinion ?
should i do the sit for cambridge exam again while doing my A level or not
You should probably retake the GCSE, if you can get a C you will be in a much better position, both if applying to uni or in finding a job. Best of luck.
