Retake 3 alevels or go to uni

Got EEU in my alevels. Should I retake all three levels? How would I go about that? Would I have to retake all three at the end of the next school year? I went through clearing and got offers from two unis—both courses with foundation years. And I know I did not put all my efforts into the exams. But also, I hate one of the subjects and don't want to go through that again, but I don't want to go through life with an E.

What course are you doing?

For most things, employers will only care about your degree and won't even bother asking for your A-levels.

Either econ or econ and management (both with foundation years)...do you think retaking the alevel I received a U while doing my foundation year would be a good idea?

Ah. From what I understand, jobs in this sector actually do check your A-levels so it might be worth resitting.

I need advice , my grades are EEU . I have had no luck trying to get onto a foundation year - I have spoken too 7 universities and all have sent me rejections . Sorry I am unable to comment on your thread but I need advice . I have filled in my mitigating circumstances form - as I have had health issues .. my concern is repeating my A levels
might have more of an effect on my MH as I hated the college .

Would studying at another college be an option? Portsmouth and Cardiff met sent me offers if that’s helpful, maybe you could reach out to them if you have not already. What course are you looking to do if you don’t mind me asking?
