Basically after digng badly in my AS's i have a big decision to make. I dropped ICT after my Janury exam results and because i have now failed maths i am not allowed to continue it at my college so if i continue i will end up hopefully coming out with 2 Alevels and an AS
Im not sure about gonig to uni, its looking unlikely but i dont wana completely close the door on uni but if i stay on at college i pretty much am screwed when it comes to uni!!
A solution is that i could return to my old schools 6th form and start my Alevels again. I have wanted to return to my school 6th form for a while but couldnt because of different exam boards and all that!!
The drawbacks of gonig back to my 6th form is that i have an extra year of education, my friends are ost likely to leave after this next year and they don't do economics which i enjoy and got a C in but i failed one unit so i can push that up with a retake if i stay at college!!
But i come out with hopefully 3 Alevels and im where i wana be
Im gonig to 6th form tomorrow to talk to some people and that but basically its all i can think about, its just so confusing lol!!
Duno why i just told you all, maybe because im bored but there you go! Anyone got any advice for me?

A friend of mine was disappointed with her AS level results when she did them, and ended up retaking them. This she repeated for 3 years, but she got on a good course.
Sadly, in this day and age so many people are taking A Levels and degrees you'll find yourself at a disadvantage if you don't have them. On the other hand, some unis only want 2 A levels. A lot of courses also go for a points-based system, which means that 2 A Levels and an AS can get you on a decent course. A lot of options to explore. Depends on what you course you want to do at uni, and which uni you want to go to. Most will put their course requirements on the website, so have a look at that and it should give you an idea of what your best course of action should be.

Oh, and I should mention I also did crap at my AS levels. I'm about to start a postgrad course.

'A' Levels are a big step up, and somewaht of a culture shock Katiekins....well they were in my day! My GCSE's couldn't prepare me for the leap in dificulty to 'A' Levels. However, now you know what is expected, you are in a far better position to tackle them. I'm sure that starting afresh you'd get what you need...... if you can bear the extra year and REALLY want to go to uni.
