Should it resit my maths GCSE to get a better grade for applying to oxford?

Hi, this is a bit complicated but i’ll keep it short. Basically i sat my gcse’s in 2024 and got 9,8,7-7,7,7,6,6,5,4. 9 was english lang, 5 was math and 4 was art so it’s pretty irrelevant.
Im a current y13 and wanting to apply to oxford for Law with my a level predicted grades being A*A*A, English Lit, History, Sociology.
I did some research that oxford DOES accept resits so long as you tell them your og grade as well, and although it DOES lower your chances of getting in that’s less likely to happen if you had circumstances for getting a low grade in the first place. The reason why this is complicated is bc i had a medical episode during one of my math exams as well as my eng lit exams which i was consistently getting 7 and 9s in respectively (i’m a t1 diabetic) but my high school didn’t disclose this to the exam board so i didn’t get consideration and there’s no record of it.
I’ll have other contextual proof because i qualify for other things but i don’t think there’s anything regarding my a level or gcse grades.
My question is, is it worth it to resit math during my gap year to get 7/8 and then apply next year or no.
Thanks a lot!

Hello,
Looking at their admissions report, GCSEs are weighted just as equally as the LNAT, meaning it's quite important. With that being said, your GCSEs are quite poor (the report does not disclose averages but from personal experience and reports for other subjects, the average number of 9s and 8s an offer holder has hovers around 9 -- you have 2). It does not really matter if the GCSE subject is "irrelevant" or not either. Adding this with the unfortunate fact that your extenuating circumstances were not reported or logged, your chances are pretty low even with resits to both maths, art, and your 2 6s, unless you have a stellar LNAT score.
My advice is to not calibrate your entire pathway based on Oxford. It is an elite institution that very few people get into every year, and there are other universities which offer education that is just as fulfilling.
