Resit for economics

Hi, I was wondering if I could get some guidance on some certain unis for Econ

I got A* Economics, A Maths, B Further Maths
But for most of the competitive econ courses, you need an A* in maths, so I was considering a resit. Do unis like Kings, Warwick or UCL look at resits negatively? Also, if I have A*B achieved, and A* predicted, do I have a chance - even for a course with A*AA requirements, or would I be better off resitting both Maths and FM

Thanks

You could resit FM and apply to Kings and Warwick since they just require A*AA (A* doesn't need to be in maths). I don't think UCL accepts resits for econ but I could be wrong so you might want to check.

Thanks a lot! Do you think if I get A*A*B, that would work? Cause resitting maths would be a lot easier than fm

For econ I'd say probably not, for Warwick I had an offer from them and actually got A*A*B on results day and they didn't accept me lol. Obviously you might get lucky but I think resitting FM to get an A would be a safer choice.
