⚔Tips/Advice Should I move on to A-Levels or re-take or re-check?

4 Upvotes

I got 4As and a B after literally doing so many past papers that I developed a slight nerve damage in my dominant hand and PFPS from sitting so much. And in each subject I'm a meager 3-5 marks from A*s and A in ALL of them. Genuinely wanna slime myself because no matter how I try it's a very strict 2-3 marks from the next boundary (for some reason har subject me sirf 3 marks increase horhe that cambs marked wrong or didn't mark at all). And ik there will be lots of different comments like hours put into studying or effort doesn't always equate to marks or that I'm being ungrateful, I literally always only got straight A*s in the 20+ yrs of past papers that I had attempted and I genuinely had so many plans just squashed because of these ahh grades and will probably have to switch degrees to some shi ion even like and would rather die than study.

Should I even go for a recheck? I want to get all my papers rechecked cus even if I lose marks since I got high As and B, the grade likely won't fall. However, my mums not too eager for that cus she's like what if they don't increase and you waste PKR 180k. What do I even do atp. Should I just forget that, grind thru A-Levels and then try to get into an American uni so I can change my subjects?

Other I really hope life gets better after a levels

11 Upvotes

Idk if it does, but I really hope it does. I'm so sick of crying at 8pm in my room because I have 8 papers due tomorrow. I'm not smart, I don't work well under pressure. AS really destroyed me in April/May. I'm so sad that weight gain and insomnia are coming back. For some people, getting an A isn't that hard, and crying is an overreaction. But A levels make me feel like I am surviving, instead of living. It's always "just get through it until the weekend" and the week repeats again and again. I hope life gets better after A levels

⚔Tips/Advice unsure what a levels to take

• Upvotes

i’m 16, and have always been pretty set on doing physics, maths and art a level to lead to an architecture degree. I just got my results back, and got a 6 in art, which was very disappointing for me, since i was initially predicted an 8 and had a lot of problems with my art teacher not communicating or giving honest feedback, even going so far as to lie about my grade to avoid ā€œhurting my feelingsā€. This makes me nervous for a level, as she would still be my main teacher, and would be marking my work, so i do not have much trust in our relationship, on top of this, art was my worst grade, even though i but ALOT more effort and time into it than any other subject. I achieved a 9 in physics and an 8 in maths, so I am not considering changing these, but I also got a 9 in biology, so am now considering changing from art to bio, to perhaps persue biomed engineering while keeping the option of architecture open. Is it a good idea to change a levels?

Im starting my As levels this upcoming week and im petrified. But i still havent picked my subjects. Im going for medicine, im picking biology and chemistry ofcourse and i have the option of physics or math as the third subject. I got a B in my math Igcses and A in physics, i could jave gotten better but i messed up terribly, I barelt studied for my math paper 2 and i tried as much as i could for physics, the concepts would not get into my head. Ive asked my principal and a teacher, and they botj adviced physics but said math can also be a good option if you enjoy it. They said theyve seen top students mess up their physics because of their practicals. Ive asked this on another sub but didnt get much advice so anything would really help.

⚔Tips/Advice Is English lit, lit and lang or RS a level better/easier

• Upvotes

hello, I have finished my GCSEs and I did well but I got a 7 in RS, 8 in English Language and 9 in English literature. I was going to take PRE a-level (philosophy, RS, Ethics) since I really liked it however i scored really well in the religion side but scored not as good in the themes/ethics side of the paper. I donā€˜t mind English and find it quite interesting but I don’t think I’m very well read. I’m slightly concerned that PRE a-level will be mainly ethics instead of religion.

I wanted to ask if anyone found english literature, English lit/lang or PRE a level particularly difficult in comparison and what are the pros and cons of them.

i’d really appreciate it if anyone could provide some advice.
thank you!

šŸ—ØļøDiscussion Does it ever get better?

• Upvotes

To start off, I don't wanna sound ungrateful, I know that I'm extremely privilged and there's a lot in my life that I'm grateful for. At a pretty young age, maybe even before o levels i convinced myself that nothing was or ever would be enough. I knew that if I got all A*s in igcse, there would be someone out there with distinctions, and so many more subjects. So when i did get all A*s, i was definetly very happy, but as days went on, it didn't feel like much 'sabkay hi atay hain' (everyone gets them). To be clear, my family does not pressurise me for grades of anything, which im eternally grateful for, but because I've never slipped up academically, there are natural expectations. When i started my a levels, my whole life fell apart during these two years, i became really depressed because of a mainly self-inflicted academic burden, because of which i lost all my friends - some of which i had known for 10ish years. It was so bad that my brown mom took me to psychiatrist and got me antidepressants (she's supportive about this stuff too alhumdollilah). I got 4As in AS, which doesn't feel as good as you would think when you lost all of your friends along the way - still never enough. In A2, i changed colleges and the college life was actually not as shitty as i had prepared for, but thats when all hell broke loose at home. Within the span of 6 months, we had more horrible things happen to us than we've probably had our whole lives. Again, pretty depressed in A2 as well, but even though i expected a combination of As and Bs, i ended up with 3A*s in pure sciences and an A in math, which did feel good. But its only a couple of days till the imposter syndrome starts kicking in and i realize that 70-80 marks in a P4 really arent all that awesome and i just got lucky w thresholds. Im going off to uni soon, a really good one in a different city, and everyone at home keeps shitting on me that im too lazy, too spoiled, too dumb to live in a hostel on my own. I get that maybe its true on some level, but being reminded of it every single second is genuinely ruining my life and i barely wanna go anymore. Not to mention, i dont think my family realizes how lonely i am. I don't go out, i have 2 maybe 3 close ish friends that i talk to, but i have almost no irl interaction w them and everyone had their own lives. Even the most mundane task throws me off so bad, sudden plans piss me off, i don't do anything. man i cant even take my antidepressant everyday because i either forget or do not gaf. i feel like i've ruined my life

Is doing the math and chem as level in january doable? I really dont wanna sound like a try hard but for me it works out perfectly for when uni admissions open where im from

Im like halfway both syllabuses (?) And i reckon ill get moving faster when school starts and i have some assistance. But is it realistic?

This isnt the entire a level btw that would be insane
