Anyone else having to take a gap year and re-sit?

Yeah Im going to decline my offer and retake. Im only gonna take 2 though, the other A Level I got a C in and I don't wanna jinx it. I Honestly don't trust Edexcel though that Maths Paper was NOTHING like the mocks, it was like doing Maths on Handicapped mode, plus I honestly think people who saw the leaked papers got an advantage, someone in my class before the exams were telling me about how they saw the leak and revised it and they came out with a B. Edexcel can suck their nan via a straw.

God forbid the college I retake at has them as their exam board for maths. Fml

Oh r u not worried about the whole process of applying and writing a PS etccc againnnn? Omg trust me I seriously felt disabled doing them maths papers I wonder whoever made if their brain is ok. Yes some people in my school also performed better on that last paper despiteee being super terrible at statistics and mechanics usually. Hahahahahah looool.

How did u find another college or u retaking it at your same college ? I want to do the same as u but I was thinking privately since my college doesn’t do retakes

I’m going to be resitting 2 of my a levels. I don’t want to retake chemistry since I’m okay with a b. I’m going to hopefully do my a levels at an exam centre as a private candidate. I know that you have to pay for everything yourself I’d say around £300 or lower which isn’t that bad i think. I really don’t want to go back to my sixth form because it’s just awkward to see the teachers again. But I also think the environment there really effected the grades I got so I think I’d be better off getting a tutor or teaching myself. Can you not reuse your old personal statement or does it count as plagiarism? And what is everyone applying for uni? I’m just curious 😅

LMAO that's exactly why I'm not going back to my 6th form either after I did so bad and how much faith they placed in me. I'm going to a college or ill just study online/learn myself. I hated the environment too. Sixth Form was so confining and strict plus you go through a lot of social and emotional problems.

I'm not retaking Computer Science since I got a C in it, and I'll have to redo the coursework which lead to my downfall but I'm retaking the other 2

Honestly we sound like mirror twins. I'm starting to think your my alt account that's taken on a life of it's own. Let me know if you figure out how the process works.

Yeah I'm having to resit aswell, got accepted into my insurance but I don't want to spend the next 3 years at a bad uni so this was the only logical option. This year is going to be a gruelling one but definitely worth it if I make it into Imperial or somewhere like that.

i got B in sociology D in english lit and a U in law- rejected from both unis, my depression was so severe round my exams all i needed was some more time tbh so knew i would have to retake or something

so yea deffo resitting english and law! doing it at my 6th form because its most convenient tbh, not sure if im completely redoing yr 13 or just going for the exams in summer tomorrow im going to school on gcse results day to speak to my teachers to see :/

but dont worry we in this together! im so up for a gc or something- really thought i was on my own

ikr me too! It's comforting to know theres other people in my position and i think we should defo make a group chat.
im resitting psych chem and bio.

I contacted my college because I got DDE and they aren’t allowing me to resit I feel so stuck and annoyed, they said their policy wouldn’t allow them to take resits
