Backstory:
I'm 20 and retook my AS levels and finished the A2 exams last year with extremely mediocre results. I currently have a newborn baby and I wanted to have something to do in my spare time that will exercise my mind rather than binge watching Netflix. So, I paid to do an A Level online. Due to finanes, I have to do it, as it was expensive and DP and I really don't have a lot of money. So, I signed up. Catch is, I already have this A Level, at a very mediocre grade. I have two years to complete the exams, so I have a lot of time to do it in, plus DP has agreed to watch the baby on one of his days off until I do it (if not, family member will whilst he's at work). I decided to sign up because I want a better grade so that I can go to uni. In hindsight, I should've picked to do a different one, I'm aware of that now, but I want to do this subject at university, I just didn't think at the time that I spent three years doing it and only got a mediocre grade. Before people jump on that fact, I was in a very stressful situation at the time, which the school knew about but did nothing about, I really did have a lot going on at the time, PLUS the second time I sat the AS, I only retook one exam, as I started teaching myself it three months before the exam, and I went up two grades in the exam that I retook. It is a humanities subject, I'm not wanting to study medicine or anything. Even if I got an A (hypothetically), will it still have been a waste of time doing it? Will universities only see the grade that I got before and not the grade I taught myself? I feel like I really mucked this situation up :(
