Asked by clemence over 2 years ago, 5 answers.

help! I failed my GCSEs?
Hi, can anyone help. I have got myself into a very bad situation. I am 16 years old and due to missing about 4 years of school have only got G grades in my GCSEs (apart from getting a C grade in English) .I wondeed what my...

options are in terms of going to college? Do they have any courses for people in my situation? If so then what are they (called)? Can anyone tell me a bit about them? and what can someone progress to from these courses?
Also...I have heard they run a few random GCSE subjects (mainly English and maths) at college? please be honest...would doing GCSE courses at college be suitable for someone in my situation? If so then how many subjects and what subjects should I take? and for how long? Also I wouldn't have a clue how to put a timetable of these subjects together (how to link them) etc... so what can I do about this??(expecially if they are at different colleges)Who would help me to link the subjects together??? If I got G grades in my GCSEs ...what sort of a grade do you think I'd get at the end of a few 1 yr GCSE course subjects sat at college?please be honest. and what could I progress to after the GCSE courses?
Can anyone out there help me? I feel really frightened about my future and no-one at home will help me.
Does getting G grades mean that I have no future worth living?
Or that I will never get a well-paid job?
PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME SOMEONE!!!

Firstly, it sounds like you're panicking tremendously! First thing is to relax.

Secondly, several colleges and even schools offer GCSE Retakes in English Language and Maths. It shouldnt be hard to find one.

Thirdly there a lots of more vocational courses available at colleges, where G grades are perfectly acceptable. Hunt around on the net for colleges local to you and order some prospectuses.

If you get onto a good vocational course, colleges sometimes even help you find work placements/training. Don't worry too much, just settle and start to think about it.

Many people are in work without any GCSEs. And don't forget, a G grade is sitll a pass.

Just find what youre good at in terms of skills or talents and try to get onto a course. I would also recommend finding a college where you could retake English or Maths. Also find out where you went wrong before so you dont make the mistakes again and can pass the GCSE.

Best Wishes
