Hi @user171745

I'm really sorry to hear you were unhappy with your A-level results, but please don't stress, there are definitely still options available to you!

If you'd like to resit your exams, you can either do this with your current school/college or independently. I would suggest talking to your school/college for advice which is most relevant to you and your situation. If you do this independently (i.e. at another school or independent college), there will likely be a fee involved, so this is definitely something worth considering.

Also, please remember there is still the option to go to university this year, even if your grades weren't what you hoped for. I'd definitely encourage you to keep an open mind about clearing. You can use clearing to apply for university courses which still have vacancies, and you could find a course/university which is a really good fit for you :smile:
