So I got my results yesterday I got a 8 in English lit and apparently a 5! In language so my teacher said that both the Englishs are both equall so when I apply to medicine courses so the required "English grade 6" as it just says "English" can I put my highest grade

Uh I'm not 100% sure but when they just say "English", they mean English Language, as English Lit isn't compulsory in some schools, but English Lang is (for all schools). Sooo when you apply and they need a 6 from you in English, they mean they need to see a 6 in English Language.
My teacher told me that you can choose whichever English GCSE you got the best mark in to count as your 'English' grade. In most cases I don't think they are thaaat concerned, as either way you are able to write essays, whether that be about a text you have read before, or not. As you are going into a more scientific field, I'm sure that you would be able to simply put your 8 down. Well done, by the way, and good luck :smile:
