Barely passing a subject

matthew the statue

If you are just about passing a subject at higher ( I usually get 42 to 45 % ) is it a good idea to drop down to ordinary for the real thing?

pass in higher level is better than a good grade at ordinary

And a fail is worth nothing if I was to fail.

If you usually pass the subject at higher level why drop down? It would make more sense to put some last minute studying into the subject to see if you can raise your grade to a C.

Subject is biology.

Plenty of time between now and Biology. No reason you can't study for it that bit more and push your grade up

Worried about this myself with English. if you don't want to repeat next year then maybe you are better off dropping down?

If you're dropping down at this stage be careful, the material for higher and ordinary can be different!!!!

I failed bio by 1 percent and i've been studying it like mad the last 3 weeks, if anything, the questions at Ordinary level are just as hard as higher, stick to higher, its what im doing
