Im at the crossroads - if you don't make the grades, say for a university like Leciester would you resit year 13 or would you go to a second string uni such as hertfordshire?

i personally wudnt want to resit alevels - i have moved on from school and want to carry on with something new. I would wait until results day before making rash decisions. if you miss the offer for leicester by a grade, or maybe two they may be leniant if u contact them (or beg them)- you never know, you have nothing to lose! worst case scenario if u dont get in to leicester i would recommend still going to hertfordshire if it is a nice place and a course you would feel comfortable with. Employers usually want the classification of the degree ( e.g 1st, 2.1) rather than where you got the degree from so i wudnt worry if you think that its "second string", employers generally wont know.

I disagree to some extent. Employers not only look at your degree, but also at your A-Levels. If they're a lot worse than predicted, I'd say resit.

What are your predicted grades gunner123? Then you use those grades to apply to the uni's that might accept those grades.

I graduated last year from Newcastle. I've done the law conversion course and have a TC with an American firm.

It depend what job you want to do, long term resitting is probably the best option, but its not always practicle as it means another year without getting a full time job. Also can you be certain you will get better grades?
Its quite common people resit and don't improve enough to make it worth while. Unless there is a specific reason you haven't done as well as you wanted.

Depends on how badly you want to go to university this year....and how much you miss you offer by. There are probably a number of 'first-rate' universities that would accept you through clearing, even if Leicester isn't lenient...
