DS really wants to be an engineer but he got a B in his iGCSE and the Maths department are (still) concerned that he won't be able to achieve an A level in the subject. I think they may be right - statistics back them up but he is determined to take it. His results were generally disappointing and not what were expected.
If he can't take Maths then he can't read engineering at university. Does anyone know of similar courses at University that don't require Maths A Level. He's taking Physics, Economics and DT as well. Perhaps he'd be better looking at apprenticeships? What I'm concerned about (amongst everything else) is that he'll take Maths to AS and then we could have disaster on our hands this time next year if it doesn't go well.
