Haven't actually received the result of the first module back, but Maths is his worst subject, and ds thinks he'll probably only get a B.
He wants to do 3 Sciences, English and History for A level, but not Maths.
Do you think that a Uni would insist on him having an A for Maths GCSE (he's hoping to do medicine)?
If so, and if he goes for tutoring to get up to that standard, would he have to go every week for a year, or is it more a last couple of months cramming scenario?
He's mostly A and A* for all the other GCSE subjects, ie those have been his coursework marks, but always lets himself down with Maths, particularly in the tests. He seems to do ok in lessons and h/work, but for some reason goes to pieces in Maths exams.

DS only projected B at GCSE - worth getting a tutor?
