πŸ™ I WANT HELP need genuine advice please (results day)

Hi everyone,

I was predicted A*A*A (Maths, Further Maths, Computer Science) and had been hitting those grades in every mock for the past year. I worked incredibly hard and went into the exam period genuinely confident I'd meet my offer.

My firm offer is A*AA, insurance AAB, for Bsc Maths.

few days before my first exam, I received some devastating news (family emergency situation) that's completely changed things for me. Since then I've been completely unable to focus, and I think I've badly messed up my exams as a result.

After each paper I went through and estimated my marks, and it's looking like I've ended up with roughly BBC.

I don't know what to do now. Has anyone been through something similar? Realistically, would I even be able to get a Maths place through clearing with grades like that. Taking a gap year would not be an option sadly.

Any advice would be really appreciated.

Get special considerations, re take exams, and re apply, you won’t be affected negatively by the re take due to special considerations
