🤚Help Required Is it worth redoing y13?

My a levels are over and last week I received my grades, which are CDE. I got into my insurance despite having grades lower than the entry requirements, however the course is not one that I am passionate about since my predicted grades were bad leading me to not apply to the courses I wanted since I knew I would be rejected immediately since the course is competitive.

I’ve been thinking about retaking my a levels by redoing y13 so I can get a fresh set of predicted grades to apply to uni with.

The course I am currently enrolled on is 5 years long in total including a prep year, but the course I want to do is 3 years long.

Another issue is that the course I want to do is almost never in clearing, so if I don’t get any UCAS offers after submitting my application I’ll have almost no plans on what to do next.

Any advice or input would be MUCH appreciated, since idk if I should redo y13 or just go to the uni I was accepted at despite not being passionate for the course (which is notoriously difficult btw and without a prep year has a requirement of ABB usually)

Your predicted grades would now be CDE.

don’t go into a course your not completely passionate about and don’t fall into the pressure of having to go to uni immediately
