Clearing, Entry Req. and Grades Worry

I can't answer your first question for sure, it would generally depend on factors such as how many others didn't meet this requirement, whether the subject is relevant etc.
You can still go through clearing if you are not in England. Typically students here won't be with a teacher and this definitely won't affect if you get an offer or not so it would be up to you

Thank you so much for your reply. So how does it work if I find out I have been rejected? Do I call up my original (firm) university I wanted to go first and ask them if they can still accept me if I missed the grade by 1?

Usually they would be unlikely to take you unfortunately. Most universities consider those who have just missed very carefully either to select which people to take the remaining places or if there are more places than people, what the absolute minimum standard would be before they feel you wouldn't benefit from the course as your ability would hinder you.
You can give it a go, but it's generally an outside chance.

Okay so then in that case, where do I start? How do I start going through clearing? Straight away calling uni’s or applying through UCAS? How does it work

the ucas points of 120 usually refers to youe best 4 subjects not 4 ie 3 a levels of 2 a levels and a btec. check this to ensure you have the appropriate ucas points. if your btec and 2 a levels amountto 120 then your Maths probably wont count unles its subject specific for a particular subject. D,B,C will probably suffice.

check with the university but is normal for best 3 subjects to count and those need to add up to 120 points. You wouldnt be able to include the Maths towards the ucas points. That is usually the case but only the university can know what it means.

you will be fine. the standard typical A-level is only 3 subjects...I doubt 1 bad grade on 1 subject out of 4 will affect or hinder your points severely.
