You can retake biology in Summer 2025, as only maths and English are available to resit in November. What course do you want to study and which universities are you thinking of applying to?

You’ll have to look up the specific requirements at different universities. From what I’ve seen, most do require a 7 in two sciences or biology and chemistry specifically. If you are only a few marks off a 7 in biology, you could request a remark, but be aware that your marks could go down as well as up.
