Personally I got E for maths GSCE & E for English GCSE. Got told by my school that I was banned from doing A-levels because I wasn't smart enough. Left school and went to college to spend 3 years studying vocational science qualifications. Got into Uni, 5 years later walked out with a BSc(Hons) & and MSc plus an offer for a PhD.
Turned down the PhD and went to learn to fly. Ended up teaching degrees in aviation part time. Now RHS 737, free TR and no debts.
I've lost count how many people I know with multiple fails and low 80's averages that got jobs just fine. However the market won't be this good forever, then you'll need to stand out.
There are many ways to skin a cat, there are MANY pilots with no A-levels at all, don't worry about it. Do your best and enjoy yourself.
Thank you for this extremely satisfying post
