Would smoking weed at night during exam period have an affect on my A-Level grade?

I'm smoke weed regularly throughout the week, but i don't think it seems to affect my knowledge or anything. I function fine, got an A* in my bio mock last week being high the day before. Had a zoot this morning and got an A* in my math past paper earlier today.

But my friends are saying i'm ****ing up by smoking weed. I think they're just chatting **** tbh. But what do you guys think?

Maybe you didn't even have a biology mock last week. If that turns out to be the case you should probably stop.

Over the long term it will affect you, in the short term you'll probably be fine.

Carry on dude, doesnt seem to be affecting you and you could do with it to take the edge off your exams. But careful with that stuff, my mate needs it to smoke one every night just to get some shut-eye, also in the long-term it may start to change you so that if you do A-levels you may well have a problem on your hands.

In passing, probably fine.. wouldn't do it every night though.

What will affect your a-level grades is good english...

it should be EFFECT, not AFFECT in the title!

No, the correction was right. It's "have an effect on"...

That is true, but our OP did not put 'have an effect'. He put 'but I dont think it seems to affect'.

If you type that into google it does not suggest 'alcohol doesnt seem to EFFECT me'.

I know people who smoke daily and get great grades, and those who do it occasionally who get bad grades. Too tricky to tell, it depends how it effects you.
I would personally suggest taking a break over exam periods; it means you have a reward for when exams finish.
