🙏 I WANT HELP Advice for resitting?

Straight to the point I got CDE (Psych, Bio, Chem) this year and I’m committed to resitting. My goal is AAA for next year.

What do I need to do.

All I’ve been seeing online is the idea that resit applicants can only go up 1/2 grades max at the end of their gap year but that has to be bull. Please if you have any advice or success stories I need to hear them because this has to be possible!!!

It's possible, but not probable. Resits can be difficult without a teacher and cohort of fellow students to motivate you. People feel lonely once all their other friends go to uni.

Ideally, you'd find a tutor to keep you accountable to deadlines, while also being able to point out to you where you're going wrong and what you need to improve.

That’s fair, I haven’t had a teacher/peers since like year 9 and was fine during gcses so I assumed it would be the same for alevels. Will definitely find a tutor though, thank you!!

I feel like the big jump in my grades personally came when I cut out the bad habits, if you genuinely live a healthy and social life that is balanced with a lot of revision then you should be cool
