I’m a year 12 student who has already gone down a year and I’m at a college. Due to mental health issues and various other factors in the last year I’ve done terribly, missed school, very poor work and just failed my progress tests which my predicted grades would be based on. I know it’s a long shot but my family are happy to pay for me to try to do a levels in a year with tutors working over the summer for about 10 hours a day. I really love my subjects and did well in my GCSEs and if I managed to study basically a year’s worth of content over summer from what I know in theory I could take progress tests in September to get a predicted grade to apply to Cambridge in October. I know actually being able to get those grades in a short amount of time would be very hard but does anyone know if applying like this would be allowed? I know it would be very difficult but I really want to be able to apply.
