IB grades / Durham uni

I got into Durham for law with a predictive of 38 with 6,6,6. Having 7 for German and 5 for sport Science. I am worried that maybe I get 6 in German since my writing has been very poor for a few years (since I moved away from a German-speaking country). Generally speaking, sports tends to be an easy subject but I had some difficulties with units 3 & 4; however, I think I can raise the 5 to a 6 or maybe if I lock in a lot, I could possibly push the 7, as I feel I had a really good internal and I have studied a lot those units I had troubles with. If I were to achieve all my grades but got lower on German, would I still be able to get into Durham, or would I have to go to my backup choice?

If German is your SL then its probably fine, and will add up to the same point total anyways (if you get a 7 in sport sciences). I have had friends also do slighty worse in one SL and then better in another and their universities didn't mind.

Thanks for the reply, but the thing is, even though I normally do very well in German, what if I get a 6 and a 5 on sports? Would that mean that automatically I am no longer able to go to Durham?
