My DD(15) got a B in the one and only GCSE she took this year (Latin).
She is pretty much an allrounder with a keen interest in Science, has had all A predictions and has already got one A she took in year 8.
Since earlier this year she has her eyes on Oxford to do Natural Sciences, wants to do Biology, Chemistry and Maths A Level.
I didn't think she did anything enough for her Year 10 GCSE, and the result did prove that. In the four modules she got A*,A,B,B.
I read on the board that for Oxford it's 6A* plus rest A. Does that mean she can forget her Oxford dream?
Should I ask for a remark for the Bs?
In my heart of hearts I thought this might give her the kick up the backside to sit down and learn.
On the other side, if she needs that, should I support her dreams? She is currently on track with all other (10) GCSEs next year.
Any thoughts on this welcome, she is my eldest and it's all new for us.
