should i resit my gcses

I’m turning 18 soon and I decided to retake the whole year 12 in a different school doing completely different subjects. (Will be doing Economics, Business, Philosophy and Sociology)

I want to do Linguistics in Cambridge, I am aiming to get 4A* hopefully. My gcse results were 977655444 which were really bad I know.

Should I work on my A-Levels while resitting English Lang+Lit, 3 Sciences, and Maths to boost my application??

Also any advice on super and extracurriculars pleasseeee? Really appreciated it

Don't do Economics and Business together.
Do Economics, Philsophy and Sociology.
You could resit Maths and English Language as they're the most important grades.

Never resit GCSEs unless you haven't got the minimum required for something. Very few courses/employers care about the detail of GCSEs, and if they do, then they also care that they were taken in one sitting. The same with A levels, unless you completely change subjects.
As above, drop Business, it's less well regarded than Economics, but has too much overlap to be considered a fully separate A level - at least when going for competitive universities.

thanks for commenting! also may i know why i shouldn’t do econ and business together?

thanks for your advice! what do you think if i only resit maths and english lang
