First id talk to the teacher and ask for tips to bring the grades up
secondly try uplearn and see if that works for you and helps u bring your grades up,
finally make sure you have backups just in case pharmacist doesnt work out

It’s really good that you have taken maths but if you don’t think you will enjoy it, its still not too late drop it if you can. My friend who has a 9 in GCSE maths struggles as well because maths is not an easy subject if you don’t really enjoy it.
And you are already doing bio and chem, there is no requirement to do maths even if you wanted to do medicine so you can apply to all pharmacy courses in the UK without maths.
But if you think you can get a good grade (A or B) in maths just keep practicing it either through past paper questions or ask your teacher for any and you’ll get there!

it can be difficult to do well at a level with minimal effort, that’s what separates it from GCSEs. i would recommend looking at a change in subject, maths is really difficult if you don’t enjoy it! but i would say try setting up time in your day to dedicate to different subjects because, if i’m being completely honest, a levels only get harder. finding some good revision resources and a good schedule is the best way to approach this! i take the same a levels (i’m in year 13) so let me know if you need any recommendations 🙂

Why minimal effort? Are you not enjoying the subjects that you have picked? Try to find some motivation, keep the end goal of wanting to be a pharmacist vivid and in-sight, and push yourself at home to recap things you don't understand. Ask questions and be proactive. You got this!

for maths, use the textbook! it’s amazing and has everything you need to know. watch a video, do the questions on maths genie, then do the textbook examples - compare your working out to theirs. after, do some of the questions from the exercise, then do exam qs from PMT! this is honestly a foolproof method and will guarantee that you understand a topic :smile:

for chemistry and biology, having a good set of flashcards is so helpful!! doing these flashcards on quizlet/anki then consolidating this knowledge with exam questions is the best method.

for longer processes in biology and content in inorganic chemistry, blurting is a great way to memorise content - buying a whiteboard for this is one of the best things to do in order to get those high grades !!
