Hello

I'm sorry I don't know anything about maths or computing. If he has a C or above in maths theres no point resitting because you only need a C to get into sixth form and uni as far as I am aware. Maths A Level is one of the hardest so it might be a good move not to do it. Do you have to have maths to do computing then? I didn't know that. I'm honestly not sure what worth there is in AS Levels at all to be honest, I'd ask Barry if unis actually take any notice of them or if they just want to know A Level results. It seems harsh to me if you can't do computing without maths, is there another college he could go to where he would be able to?
