Error on Cv and now have an interview, do I come clean before?

I’m in my 40s, have an A Level in Maths and a Degree, I genuinely can’t remember which GCSEs I got and what grades, I think they are a mixture of Bs and Cs. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I'm educated to degree and never once been asked to provide evidence of any of my certificates. Honestly I doubt employers care about gcse if you have a levels and degree. I wouldnt say anything.

You can always do a course to correct the level of maths if a D is not acceptable

How old are you and how senior are you?? If you are 22 years old and doing clerical admin, this might be relevant.
If you are 45 years old and in a fairly senior role this is totally irrelevant in my view! I am not NHS, but we don't even look at GCSEs once someone has a degree and has had a job! And most people will just give the totals (eg 3As, 4Bs etc) not break it out.
The problem with admitting it is you are drawing attention to what is not a good score, and if you are over about 30 feels faintly ridiculous.

I wouldn't say anything at all if it was a genuine mistake, and you have A levels and a degree on top. If it goes any further than this first interview I would then email in a new updated CV, without adding other things to it just correct the errors.
Its GCSE maths, its not the end of the world.

As a pp said I would tell them beforehand . Lying on a CV can potentially be very serious. If they don't care about anything other than your degree , A Levels and experience then they won't care about your Maths GCSE.

Not to put a downer on what others have said. I work in FE and increasingly the NHS and Local Government and Civil Service are trying to ensure everyone has the basic grade C or a 4 now in maths and English.
Lots of ppl are being encouraged to take additional qualifications but to access a level 5 qualification for example in Business Administration you have to do your maths and English if you have not already got them.
I have taught ppl Maths when they already have a degree in a subject 😐. I am not saying agree with this. Also I have heard that even if you want to make a sideways move career wise and didn't need it to get your current job you have to get it now to progress.
Additionally some qualifications that were once acceptable to get onto a degree course are no longer valid for example numeracy.
I realised this does not answer you but putting it out their to correct some misconceptions.

Yes it is. A lot of jobs expect the minimum of 5 GCSEs grades A-C. A Level courses usually require students to retake their maths and English if they didn't get a C or above. Might've been different in the past though.

I had to show all my certificates for an NHS role recently.
Just say at interview, honest mistake.

I don’t think I’ve ever been asked for my GCSE certificates for a job. Come to think of it, nobody has ever asked for my A-Level, degree or post-grad degree certs either!

Email ahead, don't mention in interview - that would be so odd.

I applied for an nhs job 4 years ago and despite being educated to degree level I still had to show them my gcse certificates and I'm 45!

I have never had to show them anywhere else. Come clean now to the recruiter, chances are the interviewers won't even need to be told, it's just a tick box exercise.

I would own up but if it’s any comfort I got a d in maths as a teen. Redid it as part of my access to nursing course before going to university.

The grade might not loose you the role but lying would.

Good luck.

I wouldn't bother, I doubt they will bring it up or ask for it. It's not very relevant since you have higher qualifications.

Sorry, just reread and you have a degree. They will only want to see your degree certificate.

Nope. My step daughter has her degree and didn’t pass GCSE maths. She’s resitting it because it’s required for the job she wants even though she has a degree.

I'm a recruiting manager within the NHS. I think you're fine here! If it doesn't specifically say maths and english GCSEs, they will ask for your certificates for your highest level qualifications (your A-levels)

You don't take your certificates to interview these days HR contact you if they need them for their files.

I’m public sector, all certificates are scanned in in my workplace.

Tell them so they don't waste your time if they need someone with grade C maths or above.a lot of jobs will

I once went for an interview and had spent a fair bit of time finding one in particular. At the interview one of the panel just handed me my envelope back and said that shows you are an organised person and none of the panel wanted to be shown my certificates. I was keen for them to look but I was told that if needed things could be checked into.

You don’t have to include grades on your cv, if it’s not going to go in your favour. You could remove (all C,D etc) the C and send an updated version mentioning there was a typo on your cv. Is it an essential part of the role? How recent was this experience? If you have 25 years of work experience it will be less relevant.

A D or grade 3 is still a qualification and not a fail. It’s not the grade 4 result that most employers ask for now though and you would have to resit it at college these days! A lot of NHS jobs/apprenticeships ask for grade 3/D and above so it probably won’t matter to them but I’d tell them anyway

You do at all the trusts I’ve worked for and I’m not clinical.
