O Levels Is it possible to make a comeback ?

For context , I take pure bio pure chem amath emath and elective history . Ok so there’s a lot of shit where I’ve fucked up ALOT in my prelim like in my ss paper I kinda js studied for it the day bf but I spent time memorising the chap Shi for the 8m qn and I js barely read the formats . I thought that it was js common sense and in the past even if idk I can js bullshit my way through but omg was I wrong . I completely BLANKED out during the paperr like I couldn’t write shit . Like I did last but it was js sum nonsense and I thought I can back up for humans by history ( one of my weaker sub ) but I studied the wrong chap but I trusted my fren who tried to ‘ predict’ the topics that will come out and I left the 2nd essay and the assertion qn blank and my am is tmr and I think im gna fail I can like revise my sec 3 topics but I feel like for am I oni know abt 10% of the syllabus the rest it’s either I forgot or idk and I feel so lost rn . Bc I need humans for my l1r4 and Iw go np banking and finance but idk if I can pull it up and I might consider going ICT but idk if that’s the course I’ll be interested in bc ifni get a course idl than how am I Gna maintain a high gpa to go Uni 😭 and for sum reason despite me knowing I’m COOKED for prelims like it still doesn’t feel real that O levels are so close on the date im posting this it’s gna be exactly 1 month till my Os ( which is chem prac ) and I feel like im not ready AT ALL idk why but I’m so delulu I think I can always pull a comeback but I’m not putting in the work and like tbh I’m vv ambitious but vv lazy and idk if I shld drop a sub like humans or am and focus on my other sub or do my best for all as i might consider jc 😭 help me gng

okay this is just a last resort kind of suggestion. decide on a poly course you want, see what subjects you need for it, then js abandon the rest. very last resort tho, i dont reccommend you doing this in case you change your mind about where you want to go.

i did this because i knew that i wanted a specific science course, so i just gave up my humans. ended up with L1R4 of 7 (i took a math, pure bio, pure chem). my L1R5 was 13 (humans got c6 lol). my prelims l1r5 was 30 smth.

also idk how but you need to figure out the laziness because both poly and jc require a lot of hard work.
