      Hi madz,
      I got A* in all my science subjects at GCSE, and for my A-levels I got A in Chemistry, B in Maths and C in Biology. Usually you need a minimum of a C at GCSE science subject to continue on to do them for A level (I think) and then for university it depends upon what course you apply for! For my course (I did zoology) I needed 300 points from my A-levels (equivalent to 24 points now) and a minimum C in Biology which luckily I just managed to get 🙂

      Hi madz! I got As in maths, physics and philosophy for my A-levels and that got me a place in Cambridge to study natural sciences, so lots of sciences together. For being a vet, there’s a great website with lots of information for you here:
