Psychology with A,B,E this year or try to up the E grade and try again next year?

[DyslexicPoster]

Ds has got History A, Phycology B and a E in Biology. In hindsight Biology was a stupid choice but it too late now. Everyone is saying via clearing they won't consider a E as its a fail.

But we aren't sure if they would consider if it was a D grade for clearing.

Not sure right now if he should take the year off and try to get the E up to a D. Or try to cram another A level into a years course if that's even possible?

He had a offer of history at Liverpool but he wants to be a educational psychologist

@DyslexicPoster Be careful about thinking the E will be removed from his cv. Universities and employers might want ALL exams taken listed. You cannot always pick and choose what to ignore.

One of my sons did a foundation year prior to a zoology degree and said he was in a much better place academically than those who hadn’t
It prepares you so much better for the degree

Once you son has his degree ( postgrad if doing ) no one will be looking at his Alevel grades
Why even bother put them on a CV
none of mine did and neither did dh and I

This is correct. You can't become an ed psych with just a standard Psychology degree. He could probably do Sociology in a year and the whole of the research methods overlap with the ones he's already studied in Psychology.
