    I can't really understand why your sister would need to retake maths GCSE as I have a C in maths (not sure if it's a high or low one though) and was taken no problems at all :confused:
    .

    Many universities are finding that candidates who've only just scraped a C grade at GCSE are unable to understand some of the mathematical parts of the course. As a patient I'd be reassured to know that all nurses were numerate and able to understand the difference between 0.01 and 0.1. (I believe that a nurse's understanding of this was the cause of a fatal overdose last year.)
