VERY worried year 11 student!

I am absolutely terrified for my gcse's and i mean terrified. I am currently a 4 in maths and physics, and to get back into my school sixth form u need at least a 6 in maths. However, when i tried the point system that my school uses to allow people in (they take ur 8 best gcses, add them up and divide them by 8, and u have to get over 49 to be accepted) I was over the average point system.

Thing is, im an 8 in english lit/lang, history and RS and these are the 3 subjects i want to take at alevel.

So, my question is, do you think that my school would let me back into their sixth form even if i got like a 5 in maths? has anyone else experienced this with their schools sixth forms? Please someone help me i am so so worried, i really want to stay at my school, and the subjects i want to take for alevel im doing really well in now
You still have a lot of time to study. If you devote an hour or two everyday to revise and study, you should be able to get decent grades over all. Since you need a 6 in maths, you should really try to improve on that. I had a friend who was doing worse than you are at this point in the year, and ended up coming out with every GCSE with at least a pass. You've got this, if others can do it, you can too.

That'll show you how you're currently doing and where you need to improve. All should be well, so don't stress! :smile:
