wanted to be an engineer but did badly at GCSEs

so basically i got a 7 in physics,chemistry and philosophy.5 in history and eng lit,4 in Spanish and a 6 in everything else.to study maths at sixth form i needed a 7 but i had a 6 and since i couldn't do maths there was no point in doing physics therefore im now stuck doing bio,chem and economics. Its nearly half term and i was wondering if it would be worth it to leave the sixth form im at now and going to a college where the entry requirements for maths are lower (6) and doing physics and a Btec in engineering as well or should i wait and ride this year out so that i can start at the beginning.

It's not really how capable you are. It's more about if you're willing to put the effort in.

I've seen people who get 6's in GCSEs to getting A*s, and people who get 9's to getting U's.
