Uninformed decisions are often made when a It doesn't seem all that important which choice you make, or b the problem is not that complex and the decision doesn't have large consequences. You can make uninformed decisions either intuitively, impulsively or randomly. However, one of these methods of decision-making is necessarily inappropriate.
For example, you might decide intuitively to wear your raincoat because you have a feeling that it might rain. You might decide impulsively to go to a concert at the very last minute. You might pick your choice of movie randomly by flipping a coin. If your decision involves more complexity and has larger consequences, you should make an informed decision.

External factors are often the root of academic problems, but they are not always a direct cause of poor grades. Rather, it is often the decisions you make in dealing with your problems that have a direct effect on your grades.
You have a great deal of control over your academic success. For example, you may describe your academic performance this way: "Being ill with mono all term, I was forced to miss classes. I decided to keep all of my courses because I didn't want to fall behind, and I wrote all of my finals even though I was tired all of the time. Having mono is why I got poor grades. This differs from: "I was ill with mono all term and I knew I couldn't carry a full load.
I should have withdrawn from some of my classes, but I didn't want to fall behind. I made a mistake believing I could write all of my finals when I was still sick. My decision to keep a full course load when I was tired all of the time resulted in poor grades.

If you fail an elective course, you may replace it with a different elective course If you repeat a course for which you have already earned a grade of "D", you will receive credits for the course only once.

These changes reflect the fact that all Science GCSEs are now linear and are examined in the final exam session of each Year 11 student. There will consequently be no retake opportunities for these modules.
The only exception is to retake all 3 modules plus the controlled assessment in Summer basically to do the whole GCSE again. The controlled assessment in Science is now composed of 5 components collectively referred to as an ISA :. All the components except the initial research must be completed in School under the supervision of the classroom teacher. As a result, little or no work related to the controlled assessment will come home.
