omg why are you worried....you dont sound thick....and some of us have to get AAA....you need to stop stressing...cause it aint going to do you any good....you have a second chance if worst comes to worst because of you gap year...

Depends when you go travelling reallly cause my mates are taking a gap year but they travel in March so they have time to resit...depends on what makes you happy and im sure you will be fine...what are your predicted??

Hey,
Basically I'm so worried that I'm not going to do as well as i should in my A-levels...My uni offer is CCC, of which I already have an A in geography (so really i just need CC). I feel that i'll be letting myself down if i dont get an A in biology; but i really think i probably wont get it. So far i've got A's in the three exams, and I dont know what i got in the coursework (because i resubmitted my AS level one, and obviously the A2 cw was only due in a month or so ago anyway). I did the Unit 5 exam yesterday, which wasn't terrible, but it wasnt very good either...everyone came out feeling the same that it was a horrible exam; so i'm hoping grade boundaries will be down.
I'm taking a gap year before uni anyway...So i could retake an exam if i dont get the A!
I want good grades, but to be honest I feel really pressured, and don't want to let my parents down :frown:

Is it really worth retaking in my gap year? I am starting to make plans, i.e. whether to go travelling...So if i decide i definitely wont retake even if i do get a B, i would like to book a trip pretty soon! Advice needed!?

Seriously, relax. There's not much more you can do now the exams are over and your coursework is submitted :p:

Whatever happens on results day will decide what you do for the next academic year, so you can't plan much now :smile:

why don't you just try to find a way to distract yourself until then? :biggrin:

Predicted AAA :o:

Including the A I already have.
What uni are you going to and for what subject, if you dont mind me asking?

Keep reminding yourself that you are going to where you want to be, any extra grade on top of that is just a bonus.

Your parents may pressure you but I bet they'll actually be dead chuffed with whatever you get, you are clearly a good student.

Try making a list of great things about enjoying your gap year and soon you will be feeling so positive the thought of giving it up to re-sit won't even be in your head.
