gcse grade advice needed.

I'm predicted straight A's.

Mock results - 3A* 4C 2E (no revision).

Currently done some revision/cramming but need some advice.
I MAY fail Languages in GCSE and Business.

Business is very easy but honestly I can't revise it and the grade boundaries are so close. (Edexcel).

Do you think if I fail Business and Languages it'd affect my chances of university etc significantly?

It depends - are you thinking of doing a Business or Languages degree at university?

Most universities mainly focus on the grades you receive for A-Level and the core GCSE subjects (Maths, English and Science), and as far as I'm aware, Cambridge has no GCSE requirements except for its medicine and dentistry courses.

If you don't want to do a language or business at university then no, it shouldn't effect you.

It does matter if you want to go to a top university (you need almost all A*s, unless you have a really good interview), but with less prestigious universities it should be fine as long as you don't take the subject.
