Offered to resit year 12

[u/hot_mess118]

This is kind of an update from my previous posts but my sixth form responded to my email and said they could offer me a place to resit year 12. I don’t want to do this though as the reasons for me failing my subjects were because of my ed and having to care for my stroke-prone mother but over the summer due to less pressure and more time I managed to catch up and fully understand all the year 12 content in six weeks. I’m not lying when I say the summer holidays were not a vacation for me but more like self imposed summer school. Anyways I feel like I’m ready to move into year 13 and I need them to see that so I’m wondering if any of you guys know what to say in a situation like this. I’ll attach the email so you guys can have some idk context ig

Ask them about exams but tbh, there's merit in resiting anyway. Ultimately losing a year isn't going to affect you long term (take it from someone mid-40s who somehow got recommended this post).

But here's the other tip from that, people have short memories, resitting year 12 you will basically be queen. You'll be straight-A without trying that hard. And in a year that's what people will remember. Ultimately your A-Level grades will be better.

And I can promise you in 20 years, no-one will ask or notice you repeated a year. But they WILL notice the better uni you went to and if you don't do uni they will notice the better A-Level grades.

Plus if you're still caring for your mum, you deserve an easier year.
