Hello Earthstudies,
You are not doomed for life if you get C’s and D’s, cause you will still be able to get into some universities and still be able to work! Just like GCSEs!
It depends on what subject you want to do e.g. medicine which can sometimes be a slight limitation but however some universities would offer a foundation and allow you in the course!
Some apprenticeships also accept!
And further to add you can get into universities through clearing.
Don’t view it as a failure, and don’t stress too much, work hard and you will get the grade you wanna achieve!
If you don’t get the grades you wanted, there are always other alternative pathways to go by! If you have a career advisor I highly recommend to see them! if you are really worried about to possibly!
Hope this would help!!
Richard Branson left school with no qualifications at all. Was he doomed for life?

What is it you're wanting to do?
