Failing chemistry

I’m predicted 8/9 in most of my subjects, but I’m down at 3/4 in chemistry. If I fail will I still be accepted to university??

You should, depending on what you're doing. If it involves Chemistry than I would seriously start seeing if you can improve in any way.

Improve anyway; watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MpQ-3YAwNhI if you're struggling with AQA content, for example.

If your planning a carrier that possibly involves you taking Chemistry as an A-Level then possibly or if the university specifically asks to see a certain grade in GCSE Chemistry then possibly. If not, I wouldn't worry too much and focus on the subjects you need/ are good at.
But even if it goes pear shaped in the exam, there are always options :smile:

If you want to try and improve your Chemistry grade, here are some Quizlet sets I created for the exams. Hope they help!

Also, Paper 1 of the Chemistry GCSE is very focused on applying your knowledge to scenarios, so I would recommend practicing answer exam questions as much as you can between now and Thursday to get used to how they form and word the questions as they can often be quite complicated. Paper 2 contains mostly content you just have to know and recall without actually understanding the science behind it or why it occurs, for example chemical analysis, so its best to really make sure you know the topics well for that paper :smile:

hope that's helpful x
