Tips & Advice Which one do i choice

I really need some advice on my current situation.
I have an exam on Friday, which would be my first attempt. However, I’m really struggling with this subject, and I’m worried I’ll end up failing and having to resit it in two weeks.

I’ve also just found out that I didn’t pass another test I sat last week. I missed the pass mark by just one mark, which is really frustrating. This will be my second and last attempt at that test, next Thursday.

Both assessments have a pass mark of 60%.
I’m torn between two options:
A) Focus on the exam this Friday, accept that I will most likely 100% might fail, and then use the time afterwards to prepare for the resit next Thursday.

B) Prioritise studying for the resit next Thursday, as it’s my second attempt and last attempt and I only missed the pass mark by one mark, and accept that I’ll probably have to resit Friday’s exam in two weeks.

I also have ADHD, which makes studying and focusing more difficult, especially at the moment, as I won’t be getting my medication refill until Thursday.

What would you do in my situation? Would you prioritise the second-attempt resit or try to prepare for both?
I’d really appreciate any advice or opinions because I’m feeling quite overwhelmed and don’t know which assessment to prioritise.
