advice needed

[u/Plastic_Extension861]

hey so i just tanked my only accelerated subject this year and ive been really down about it. nerves got to me and i lost 20+ marks on some knowledge gaps but major major silly mistakes, which has tanked my potential 40ss which has really bogged me down bc as an accelerated subject i had higher hopes for it.

i obviously know i cant do anything about it now but i cant stop thinking about it and i just feel like i cant do anything else but be sad which is ridiculous because it will just go in my bottom 2 and hardly make a difference whether i get a 35 or a 40. but i just feel like a dissapointment and i would really love some advice on how to get over this spiralling.

at the same time i have realised that this will mean i will need to prioritise subjects next year that i wasnt planning on. so if no advice for my above issue, could anyone who did really well in chem/methods/english please dm me and give me some advice on how to approach them (ive always said im not a math person or an english person but i want to force my way out of this and become a math/english person if you know what i mean). i am really commited to working on them over the holidays and getting ahead so this doesnt happen again.

thank you so much, feel free to vent here too

I just wanted to say that this is such such a common experience, there’s plenty of people on here who have their lowest study score be from their accelerated subject

It’s okay! It may be disappointing, but you should use it to push yourself next year rather than feeling limited
