Failed y12 mocks- medicine applicant

As the title. I’m really embarrassed and ashamed cause I have two exams in geo and bio and I know pretty much nothing about either .

Would it be better to get good grades in y13 and then apply again?

Check the specific requirements for the unis you plan to apply to, because some don’t accept resit grades for medicine. Def speak to a teacher or guidance councillor for advice
