A levels

After these GCSEs, I'm sure I got a 5 or if I'm lucky a 6 in bio and chem. I really want to do vet med and ik I need to take bio and chem a level. I recently did work experience in vet clinic and it solidified my idea to become a vet as it was such a rewarding experience. This then gave me the motivation to make sure I do whatever it takes to get there. I've tried to think of other careers but it keeps going back to vet med. Any advice pls
Are you able to take a levels in Biology and Chemistry with these grades at any sixth forms near where you live? If not I’d suggest something related but vocational: in animal care or maybe applied science; so you can still go into this field if you are unable to take a levels next year. Is there anything like this near you? Hope this helps a little, would be happy to answer any questions :smile:

Stop panicking. You may have done far better than you think, or you may still be able to do these A levels anyway. Yes, its worth looking around at other possible courses like Vet Nursing, Zoology, Animal Conservation etc but you may not even need them - Animal care | Explore careers (nationalcareers.service.gov.uk)

Thank you for replying, I'm hoping to talk to my sixth form and explain to them my circumstances. I didn't really have much motivation when it came to GCSEs cos I didn't know what my passion was but now I'm what to do. I just hope my sixth form will allow me to do the first term exams
