advice about resitting

basically I decided to resit after getting grades that I wasn’t so happy with last year (B in Biology and B in economics). I’ve finished my econ exams and I think that grade will be fine, but I’m really concerned that I’ll get a B in Biology again. i really don’t know what to do and I’m so nervous about my final biology exam but I am just wondering what will happen if I do get a B in biology again. ps: my uni offer is an A in econ and bio, as I’ve already got an A from last year. please any advice would be great bc I genuinely don’t know what to do :smile:

You got this don’t give up yet. Email your firm university and plead/reinforce your passion for the subject. They could always let you in if the course is undersubscribed - if not you can always go for clearing, don’t be harsh on yourself!!

Thank you so much you have no idea how much I appreciate this !!! I really hope everything works out. Also, on ucas it says the lowest grades ppl have been accepted for is ABB, and that’s what I got last year, but I’m not sure how that would compare since my decision to resit. Also, I called them and they said it just depends on how many people miss their offers etc so fingers crossed.

No problem - don’t be hard on yourself it’s hard to look at it from a different perspective but try and enjoy your summer and relax. It’ll sort itself out hopefully there’s space on the course and if not it’s not the end of the world :smile:
