      You generally need Five GCSEs at grade C or Grade 4 or above including English language and mathematics.

      Then for A Levels it depends on which universities you are applying to so it can range anywhere from AAA (e.g. Oxford and Cambridge) to BBB or ABB or AAB!! You can discuss with your teacher which universities would be best for you to apply to 🙂

      Hello, I’m rubbish at exams. I have failed lots of them! Everyone’s brain is different and I struggle to learn things off by heart like formulas. I do much better in project or practical assessments. If you want to become a scientist you need to pick a topic and I recommend finding a University course that includes as much project work, rather than exams, for assessment.
