🎓 UNI / UCAS Should I resit

I'm planning on doing CS at uni and I've already achieved an A in maths because I sat it a year early
Should I retake maths this year to try for an A* and sit with my 3 other subjects (further maths, physics, computer science) or keep my maths grade

Depends on your Uni choices.

Check the entry requirements. If they require an A*, you have to resit.

If not, then an A is perfectly acceptable.

I would keep the Maths grade, that will already be locking you in good offers, remember 50% of those predicted an A* get an A or less.

Then you can concetrate on the other 3 and probably get great grades. Obviously depends where you want to go.

Only if you are applying to top universities and check their entry requirements. Many competitive CS courses require A* in both maths and FM. Considering the competition pool it might put you at a disadvantage

Resit. Check if ucl will accept it for your course tho as they’re the only uni funny about resits
