Hello. Unfortunately I have the same case with you but for English cause I got a 5 . I am doing resit for eng and as level. Now unis that want a 6 only for eng and maths your good. But it’s unis that want at least let’s say 5 6s and want maths in it like edge hill which is a problem. Mostly want achieved GCSEs but some might accept pending providing a predicted grade is applied like BSMS.

wait when r u resiting your eng? and also is it a must i resit in may because i dont rlly wanna do it now so ur saying it fr might affect me getting offers lol and i would provide a predicted grade like a 7 or something

Yes I highly recommend you do. Look medicine is competitive and if you don’t meet the minimum requirements then it would be a rejection . Few unis like bsms like I called them they said okay but in a very desperate situation. I am resitting English in may I know how competitive it is. I am fully aware my exam clashes in the same day but what can I do you can’t revise for English anyway. These grades your doing are important as they are end of years but I still think You can get a 6 in maths within these couple months. Have you done any mocks for a levels? What did you get relating to your predicted grades? or what you are at maybe you can put less emphasis on this? But hugely recommend do it in the summer.

heyy im in y12 and got AS exams dis summer and i still dk abt maths its messing up my AS preparation but as from next month i will see if i am able to do it as registeration deadline is 21st of march and i am looking to do dentistry lol also mocks i have them next month i got A in bio last mock c in chem and D is psych ik lol i didnt revise that much but im on As rn so its fine i am aiming for all As for my AS tbh

That is excellence so are these official AS levels going to be a ucas predicted grade or does your school use a mean for all the exams you did ?
By the way I seriously don’t recommend you wait until 21 march to apply for that gcse exam as you are wasting revision time and remember prices increase after deadlines like Feb with super late as march. Do not leave anything to the last like I said!!!!
