I got EED, should I redo the year?
Watch
Announcements
I don’t know what to do, I haven’t been accepted anywhere and I feel like I really should redo year 13 because these grades may impact job opportunities once I get my degree. I was doing a lot better at school so I don’t understand how I received such poor grades for some of them.

What are you hoping to study? Is there no way you could go into an apprenticeship that doesn't require such high qualifications? I think you should research better options before deciding to re-take the year, but if that seems to be the best option after discussing with your teachers, there's no harm in doing so!

You could look at clearing and whats available, however if you are dissatisfied with the options and feel the grades are not a fair reflection you should consider sitting the papers. (you can also speak to your school if an appeal is possible, if they feel their is enough evidence)
You can either sit this autumn papers or May/June next year.

I messaged my teachers, and they agreed saying that a lot of people aren’t happy with their grades.

You should also check to see if your teachers are planning to appeal the grades- this could change your opportunities slightly!

Absolutely no course will take you on with EED. But all isn't lost - speak to teachers and evaluate your options.
You can retake the year; the course entirely or opt for an alternative such as a BTEC.
If your GCSE grades are good, you can consider an apprenticeship if you already got an idea of what you want to do?
You gain good work experience; you're paid a good wage and still get qualified up to degree level!

If your school says a lot of people are unhappy and received much lower than expected, an appeal from them as a whole wouldn’t surprise me. If not, you could always appeal individually.
I would advise resitting in the autumn as you’re more likely to boost your chances and get grades which greater reflect you and your ability.

I’ll go hunting to see if there’s any in your area of expertise!

I would say either go to another college and see what they can offer you or ask yourself whether you would feel confident resitting exams in the autumn at your original college.

I feel like it would impact my job opportunities completely. I wanted to go in to law. I failed my maths gcse but aside from that, I did well in everything else of my gcses. I think I should retake perhaps in the autumn or redo year 13 but if I did them in the autumn, wouldn’t I have to study at uni too?
I’m really worried

With this all in mind, have you considered sitting exams during next summer's exam season? This may be the best course of action if you are not happy with your grades for law.

Your best route would be a foundation year (if you do get accepted) and look for a completely new career path.
