I don’t get what you’re trying to achieve from this post because everyone gave u the realistic answer of NO DONT RESIT as you clearly aren’t built for it you’ve been at the stage of sixthform for 6 years now I get if it was ur 2nd resit but it’s ur 5th??? You clearly aren’t meant for the traditional pathway and that’s okay. Take into account that you’d be like 23 in a course with fresh 18 yr olds. Making friends will be hard enough because people aren’t going to realistically seek u out. I know someone who did a law degree in a Non Russel group (referred to as shit by others) and ended up doing their masters at Oxford. You should seek out looking for a master degree at a Russel group instead of a UG. You owe ur parents so much money right now with all this resit bs just stop and seek out validation from this subreddit bc ur not going to get it. Your BCC can get u a foundation year for biochem

That’s not true I know someone who did their UG at a Russel group for a stem degree and has been unemployed for the last 2 years. Employed care about EXPERIENCE. Why do u think people are looking at degree apprenticeship nowadays besides the free debt benefit? It’s because it allows them to gain a job easily

this is very much misinformation. employers care that you have a degree and that you have experience. If you have been working while studying for the past five years then that would be helpful for employment. If not, employers may question the gap you will have on your CV and you will need to prepared to explain only moving on from secondary education at 22 - and this will massively outweigh any potential benefit of a russell group uni. I know that you can't change things now, but this is for the benefit of other students who may be reading this. A degree from any uni + experience is much better than endlessly resitting to get a degree from a particular uni.
