For anyone with knowledge of the UK education system:
I got my A-Level results yesterday. I got ACC, which was just below what I need for university. I contacted the university, who have accepted my anyway.
After looking at the breakdown of my French grade, I found the following unit grades: B,B,B,B,C, E.
The E grade was for one paper, and it was only just an E- one less mark and I'd have failed totally. My teacher feels that if I resit this paper I can get my overall grade raised, but I am moving away to university in six weeks, so I'd have to resit there.
My dad reckons I should challenge the grade for this paper, as I thought it had gone better than that on the day I sat it. However, this is quite expensive and if it's re-marked my mark may not improve.
So, what do you think I should do> Should I accept my C grade, and just go to university? Should I pay the money to have the paper re-marked and hope the examiner made a mistake? Or should I re-sit in January?
Please give honest opinions, and use links to other information if you want.
Thank you in advance!
