Unexpected AS results

Been away so DD got results yesterday.
Was predicted CCCC
Got AA (Philosophy & History) but D (physics) & U (maths)
She really wants to drop maths but I understand that Physics without maths is really hard & the school strongly discourage. But surely with a U theres not much point in pursuing?
She really wants to do some form of Geography at Uni but I'm hoping the D&U won't have ruined her chances.
Obviously she'll talk to the school next term but any advice would be welcome.

thanks Queen, I think she might have to have a go.
Rotten luck for your DD Middle, I do keep reading about students that get disappointing ASs who go on to get stellar A2s.

Ha - at least she gor some As. We're in AS nightmare at the moment as DD didn't do nearly as well as predicited. We're waiting for an appointment with tutor to figure out what went wrong and where do we go from here :(

Physics without maths is ok.I dropped maths after GCSE but could easily follow the maths content in DS1s physics A level.
