Finally grading system will be up for class x from this session. However i don't think this will cause any difference.
What level was it at? A-level?
More importantly, do you need it for Uni/another course?

Just GCSE. But it does slightly dent my chance of getting an A overall though.

If you were close to an A and believe there is a realistic chance of you getting an A (remembering you won't have the same preparation) then by all means go fo it. You can't lose out my doing so (apart from a bit of money, I believe) and the difference between an A and a B overall can be quite a big one when people come to look at your grades - especially if you hope to do anything science based post-16.
What makes up the grade for Physics? If you just/can re-take the test itself, how much of the Physics grade does it go towards? Did you do any lab work that went to it?
Do you know what you want to do at college?
If you want to go for A, then do it, it's better to do it now, whilst having the chance, then do what I did and spend a whole academic year re-doing your GCSEs as an adult, cheaper too!
I pretty much got 100% in my Physics, so if you want some help, then shout.

I got 73 out of 100. This is 25% of my overall grade. The whole Physics course, like all the science courses, is out of 400 which consists of three exams and one ISA. 360+ is an A* and and 320+ is an A. I'll probably take it again s0 I can get in a region of 80+ or so.
I want to go into engineering so Physics is important and I need at least a B to do it a A level.

Wow, how in the world is a 73/100 a B? England's messed up, it's a C- over here and you're borderline failing.
No offense Leggie
But people in the UK get like an 84 or something and it's an A, here it's a low B, and is a strictly average score.
Weird, maybe the whole grading system is different over there.

Usually 73 is actually an A! It really is messed up in the UK!

Sports Journalism. I'd be lying if I said that my actual course is gonna be my first priority for my first fortnight or so though.

Physics is my ultra crap subject. I got 89 and 87 in Chemistry and Biology which is borderline of A*, so I CBA to retake them beacuse it's average out overall.
And TBH I only want the grades to back into Sixth Form, It's a Grammar School so it's looks badass on my CV and stuff like that. It's my A Levels which are important.

73 is a first at degree level in Arts subjects. Most people never get a mark that high for any essay or exam. 65 is considered pretty good.
