What are GCSEs and Alevels worth in the US?

Carry on with A-levels or redo Gcses?

• Well I want to be a physics teacher or pharmacist, and currently I'm only doing 2 A-levels (Was ill for 1 and a half months so was dropped out of physics, chemistry and psychology), so the 2 Levels I'm doing are Biology and Re (Real strong points). But should I carry on my A levels for another 2 years so I'll be 19 when I start uni, or do I redo my Gcses to try and get an A or two? (Had migraine since year ten, but no longer suffering from them for about 3 months now since on medication) Since I was ill for a long time but still got ok results should I carry on my A levels or redo my Gcses? Well my Gcses results are: Science core B, additional/applied science c, maths, English language and literature c, I.t-Dida 4 passes(c's, which I'm really proud of as I barely attended any lessons do to illness), Btec sport Merits 2 (Bs), Pshe Pass (Equivalent to a b, don't know how but it is). So there is my Gcses and are they good Enough to get into Bradford (I heard they are really good)/Durham/Leeds for pharmacy, or Leeds/Manchester/Cardiff for Physics or Should I redo them? I know that in my English Lit and language I can get a B as I'm fond of it and In maths I can get An A hopefully as my Sister is at uni doing maths at Liverpool so she could help. Also my sciences which I did in a space of 4 months to get those grades I'm pretty decent at. But what I want is your opinion guys should I carry on with my A levels or should I redo my gcses, I don't really care if u go to uni when I'm 20 as I can socialize with lots of different people of all ages, backgrounds and cultures as most of my friends are of different races. Also many thanks in advance, also I'm very sorry for spelling or grammar mistakes ad I'm on my phone and its 1am and I have school tommorrow and u thought I would just do it now just incase I forget.

• Answer:

  okayy to be a pharmacist you need a minimum 3 a levels. and two of the subjects have to be biology,chemistry or maths,which you don't study. even if you retake your gcses it will make no difference. and as a physics teacher.you need to do a physics degree in uni,and to do that you need to study physics in alevels.but you have dropped it. so either way sorry to say your screwed for now. try your best this year. best thing to do is retake your alevels again in September. and choose the right subjects- biology,chemistry and physics. and work your *** off to get your grades next year. and try to go for a uni,with low grade boundaries and low entry requirements as its,easier to get into. but again the degrees you want to study are very competitive.so try your best. hopefully it works out for you.
