I got a grade 7 at GCSE- I had to work really hard for it, I even had a tutor.
I'm thinking of switching to A-Level maths from English lit (got a 6 at GCSE but on mocks I had been getting 8's and 9's).
Is a grade 7 too low?
What kind of grade could it lead to at A-Level?
Many thanks

my school allows minimum of 7 for a level maths, 6 people in my class got a 7, and the other 2 got a 9. so a 7 is fine.
your gcse grade doesn't reflect a level at all, its like saying your sats grade leads to a certain grade in gcse, theyre so vastly different that it doesnt even matter anymore

A-level Maths are really easy. As being an A-level student I think GCSE was way more Harder than my current mathes P1 and M1. And Grade 7 is equivalent to C. So I think Don't change mathes to Eng-lit as Eng-lit is way more hard than Mathes.

How would you say the grade 7 group are doing overall, did they find the jump massively overwhelming and do you know what kind of grades they're looking at to graduate with?

no idea what grades they are looking at as we've only had 4-5 lessons

also even if they did get predicted grades, they still dont mean much into what you actually get. i took 10 gcses and only 1 of my predictions was correct...

Tbh, if you didn’t get a high grade without working much then you will struggle. I got a 9 in maths without a tutor and all i did was revise the formulas and complete all past papers.

Honestly, getting grades 8/9 at GCSE just mean that you're used to working hard for exams so you'll be likely to work this hard again for A-Levels.
I know a people that had 6 for maths at GCSE and ended up with and A at AS (max grade). It really is down to hard work and planning your time right, as this makes the difference between an A and a D at A-Level for people with similar GCSEs to you.

I’m not saying it’s impossible, but people who do maths are usually the ones that find it easy. My friend went from getting 3s in foundation maths to getting A* in A-levels. So yeah it is possible but its more idea if you know what i mean..
