I'm worried about my future

I'm worried because my GCSE exams start tomorrow, and I also take most of the exams at a low level. Some of my subjects, such as Foundation, are very good, but since English is not my native language, my anxiety is even higher, and I always struggle. I want to be a solicitor in the future and this is my last year, I'm in the 11th grade, I'm very worried and I don't know if I can be anything without a good level of strength, especially if I can do the job I want, so if there is anyone who knows, if I get a good grade in A level but if I have a bad level, I can be a solicitor as I want. Am I?

Don't worry!!

Most unis only ask for 5 GCSEs and ask for a grade 4/5 so just try your hardest and your hard work will pay off!! Especially with good A-Level grades, you have nothing to worry about, they usually only look at GCSEs if you get poor A-Levels.

What are your predicted grades looking like?
Hiya, I just wanted to say good in luck in your exams and I'm sure you will be able to achieve your dream!

Hi @eylulsudesahan

When actually applying for courses or schemes to become a solicitor in the future, your GCSEs will not be asked for as long as you have passed Maths and English. Therefore, I would not worry too much and just do the best you can. If you can get good enough grades to be accepted onto A level course then it is the A legal grade that will count!

I hope this helps and good luck! 🙂
