Ok im panickin about doing my A-Levels already and ive got two months yet!! :crazyeyes
Thing is, we can go back to school to do A-Levels on 6 C's, but if we get below a C in maths or English, have to do a re-sit course. I know for a fact im going to have do to a re-sit course in maths, as the highest i could get was a D.
Whats bothering me though is, im taking RE, Physcology, Health&Social Care and Sociology, thats 4 A-levels and one GCSE! Im gonna be fucked in my first year :crying: We have to take 4 A-levels aswell! Arghhh!!

Sorry needed to get it out.

    i wouldn't worry too much, my friend was in a similar position this year but he had maths and english to repeat, i genuinely think A-levels are way easier than they are made out to be if you know how to prepare well and just do the work.

    Organisation is a wonderful thing.

    It's not as much work as it seems. It is a lot of work, but then you have to decide whether you want to work hard and do well or do no work and end up stacking shelves in tesco for the rest of your life.

    In my opinion that's too much. If you find maths hard work and need to pass it, you'll have to work hard. As you will in your other subjects. I've done my Maths GCSE 4 times, and the best I've got is a D (I've got E,E,D,D). I'll be doing it for a 5th time, and I'll probably end up carrying on until I get a C. It's not nice, and you want to be able to pass first time (believe me, you dont' want to be like me!). How about defer one of the A-levels until you're in your second year?

    I'm 19. From experience, knuckle down and get it passed. I find it very hard, and it's certainly no fun having to do it again and again.

    Four A'Levels plus a GCSe ain't so bad really.

    Did you only do Foundation Maths?

    If you want to do well you've got to put the hours in. That's life I'm afraid.

    If you don't want to do well then don't put the hours in, but doing those things is not OTT, really.

    Yeh I agree, if she wants to do it, then she'll have to be prepared to work hard and have lots of work to do.
