what to do if your GCSE result isn't good
i just set my GCSE examinations. But i think that the result might not be good. Because I just came in year 10. And I didn't even go to school for about 6-9months last year because of covid. I really wanna do a-level biology and chemistry #GCSE

Keep studying and do the test again. Never give up.

Different 6th forms and colleges will have different entry requirements. If you really want to do A-Level Biology then check what local schools require. You may need to resit your GCSEs to get your grades up but if it's what you want to do then start studying for those now.
The other question is what do you want to do with an A Level in Biology. If you want to use that to go into a specific degree/career then having below C GCSE results may hold you back later too.
There are also a few science based apprenticeships which may be a good alternative for you to explore - https://successatschool.org/advicedetails/933/science-apprenticeships

Hello Meerab, pursuing foundational qualifications is always a beneficial step, so it's worth contemplating what will truly satisfy you. What level of achievement will make you feel content? Remember, retaking exams isn't a negative thing if it brings you closer to your aspirations.
As Thomas inquires, have you thought about your future plans with your Biology and Chemistry A-levels? Do you envision a specific path post A-Levels? Will these qualifications be instrumental in your career trajectory? Or are you drawn to these subjects out of pure interest? There's no right or wrong response here.
You might want to explore other educational avenues such as apprenticeships or traineeships if you have a clear idea of your career preferences.
Keep in mind, no matter the path you choose, a maths and English GCSE qualification will be essential, so it's advisable to start there. This will also aid in your A-Level selections if you decide to pursue them.
I hope this advice provides some clarity and factors to ponder over.
