I have done my GCSE ICT exam and i have got a D, but with my coursework i am about 10 marks off a B. Shall I retake my exam?

Retaking the exam is unlikely to help because the coursework weighting for GCSE ICT is 60%.  Improving and resubmitting the coursework is your best bet, if you want an A-C grade.  Students who get an A*-C grade at their coursework in ICT nearly always end up with an A*-C grade for their GCSE.\n\nWhen you say your coursework is "10 marks off a B", is that the centre mark or the mark after moderation?  Who told you that your coursework was "10 marks off a B"?  If your coursework result really was 10 marks away from the grade boundary from a B, does that mean that it was a C or actually a D?\n\nAlso important to know is what exam board you were doing and what tier you were originally entered at.\n\nIf you can find out the answers to the above questions, I would be able to give specific advice.

I'm crap at maths because I'm numerically dyslexic (I think it's called dyscalcula), so i see numbers jumbled up and have no concept of mental arithmetics. It's not for want of trying! I tried 3 times to get my CSE (it was a long time ago) and got a grade 2 each time. One of the hardest days of my life was when I had to do a numeracy test in order to do teacher training - I just scraped through - after weeks of revision and testing myself. If I can do it, so can you!

It depends on the rest of your grades and the time table of your school.\n\nIf you can drop it without penalty and the other grades you have are good - I would.\n\nIf you drop it and are being penalized for it - think about it carefully depending on the penalty.\n\nIf all your grades are bad, well... keep it and try again later.  Just make sure you go to class and do the work.  If you need help, most colleges offer tutoring of some sort - take advantage of it.

Dont worry about it! u get way better grades then i do and i am in sixth grade. those grades are great! Those are above average, because those grades arent C's and a C means average. So even if you did get a C that would still be pretty good. Please dont worry about that, I would kill for good grades like that, and even if you did get a bad grade that doesnt mean you are not smart! Just try your hardest and dont slack off, and be proud of yourself, I hate to sound corny but dont sweat it. those grades are Great!!!

First of all--stop being so hard on yourself.  You have a great GPA.  You should be proud of yourself for being able to do so well in challenging classes with a learning disability.  You have what it takes--don't give up--and it will pay off for you eventually.

I took the test about 3 years ago and passed with a 4. Although that isn't a perfect score, I was well prepared so I didn't have to kill myself studying solo. If your teacher has a good pass record for previous years, you should be ok.

I found several sites that seem to indicate you can re-take AP exams the following year (if you are still in high school). You might want to check with your school or A.P. teachers to make sure. There may be a higher charge on a retake. I knew a few people in high school who only got a 2 or 3 and retook them to get a high score the next year.

I think you have been blaming youself too much for your failures. Look, there is no other choice but to do the best you can from now on. And that takes positive thinking. Once you have the right mindset, you feel relaxed and your mind will be more receptive to new idea and information. Your marks will improve soon.\n\nDont worry. Be interested in what you study. And don't blame yourself when you get bad marks! Tell yourself 'next time, i'm going to do better'.

Based on your grades, I would say you passed.  But sometimes there are other circumstances where a student is not promoted to his, or her next grade.  Do you owe any money to the school district say for lost books or anything like that.  Sometimes if you have an outstanding debt to the school they will not release records.  Another reason could have been excessive absences, or tardies.  But with the good grades you mentioned, I would not think you missed a lot of school.\n\nYour best bet is to call your school's office as soon as possible to straighten things out.  Maybe it was just a clerical error on the school's end of things.\n\nI hope everything works out for you.  You will have to let us know how things turn out.

best bet is to go for the highest mark. It does depend on the test though. my A+ said it was 80% but after i passed on my pass sheet is said 75% so my ACPT and ACDT both said 80 and were 80 my ACHDS said 70 and was 65 so i would assume the full 87% and hope your lucky and its lower

Always look on the bright side of your life.  You probably didn't do as badly on your exams as you thought you did, and even if you did, you can't change the grade.  It's a waste of time to mope about your exams that you can't change and your money that you can't get back.  At least you can look on the bright side; you won't make the same mistakes again, and you'll prepare better for your exams and take care of your money better.  Try cancelling your bank card, so no one steals your money.  Try relaxing and hanging out with your friends.  Don't think of school or money for a little while.  You'll be fine, because it's just a phase.

Is the option to add route b choice still open? If not clearing in july would probably be the best bet. check with UCAS who will be able to tell you for sure. Good luck with the course you choose.

Go back to college and do your GCSE's. If it's what you really want the option is there for you!

You might need another year of the course.  With 9 quizzes and you've only passed 3 - basically your quiz grade is an F.  Your participation is 9% out of 20%.\n\nIt sounds like you need a high grade to pull through.  Get to studying big time for the final or prepare yourself to repeat the course.

All A* is a good start!  It's not a clearcut thing on grades alone, though - the interview process at Cambridge is very rigorous in a personal sense as well as an academic one, to the extent that people who are extremely bright but who the dons don't think are quite right may well not get in, despite sterling grades.\n\nIn as much as you can affect it, broadening your interests (music, sports - other hobbies save pure academia) as much as possible would help, but the best you can do is knuckle down and get the A-levels to match those GCSEs and make them take notice of you there and give you a chance to shine in the interview.  Good luck!
