If you are more practically-minded or have an aptitude for something you haven’t yet officially studied, take a look at the routes you need to get to where you want to be.
It isn’t the end of the world if you don’t achieve the exam results you want. Higher qualifications make things easier but are not necessary to still have a future.
Sometimes you don’t get what you want and you just have to pick yourself up and have another go.
If you have good GCSE results you have many choices available to you. The most obvious way forward is to take AS and A levels if you are comfortable with studying.
On each page of our website we have the “Report online abuse” button. Clicking this will allow young people or their parents / carers to make a report to the police in the UK about inappropriate sexual contact online, through the Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre.
Whatever course/career you choose, ensure you have an aptitude for it AND that you are interested in it. Enjoying what you do is essential for success.
Do be prepared for the event of selling yourself to your chosen university by pointing out your good AS grades, and informing them of any mitigating circumstances.
If you are not accepted with lower A level grades, try not to dwell on it too much – it’s disappointing and upsetting and there are still options for you to go to university another way.
