Normally they will consider you for A level for subjects you get a B or better in. Choose the subjects you enjoy and are gklood at to get the best grades. There may also be some new subjects which dont require previous studies.

Try and identify what degree or career you are interested in, alternatively what course you would like to do.
once you know then apply to colleges and sixth forms to see what they are like, what they offer and which youd prefer.

Sixth forms are usually A levels, which are accepted everywhere and exam based, whilst colleges tend to be BTEC or the new T levels more work orientated plus largely coursework.

Make sure the qualification you take is suitable for the degree you wish to study.

If you have time you can read books like these to help you gain some career insight.

Careers- See if you can get any of these books at the careers library or they will have similar for you to read. Try and get ones aimed at your age group. If you cant find then just get second hand from Amazon.
