Yes most likely but this could help your grade, is it worth getting your history remarked

agh i don't think so cuz coursework was extremely hard to do and i got a decent grade on it. i did remark it but it didn't go up :frown:
I found coursework hard got a low c 27/40 on it , but a high B overall, I don't think you can reubmit the same piece could be wrong but good luck

yeah it was rlly hard, any idea on how i could find out if i have to retake it too or not
I've found something online

If you fail or want to improve your grade now, you'll now need to resit the whole A Level exam the following May/June. However, it is possible to carry forward your coursework mark from your previous attempt, so you don't have to redo it.

so I think it depends on exam board

you're allowed to carry forward your coursework and only sit the examination component, just like if you retook a science subject you can carry forward the practical endorsement if you passed and just sit the exams :smile: good luck !!
