Ds2 needed to pass English and maths to do his electrical engineering course. He failed English language but passed English literature. He's gutted.

He had a very difficult year. A friend died and he has been extremely low so this has affected his learning.

I'm so sad for him. He hasn't done that well at all. He's passed 5 subjects. Failed engineering which he was good at.

We're at the college today to enrol. He'll have to retake English no doubt?

Well, according to the govt, a pass in either lit or lang now counts as passing English. Individual colleges may have different entry requirements, though. I'd say as the new exams require you to be able to write very well, his pass in lit should count. Let's hope the college agree.
