I failed maths ;'(

I didn't revise at all last year, screwed around in class because I felt that I'd fail maths anyway, but I still managed to get a C. So I decided to pull up my socks this year and REALLY try and I did. I'm aiming for a B so that I can get into College but really feel as if I won't get it, I found the first paper pretty difficult, the calc was much easier but I feel I made many stupid mistakes, I don't like making excuses but maybe it was due to pressure of not wanting to get a C again. What makes it worse and what is really getting me down is the fact that I spent weeks and nights preparing for this exam :'( Is it possible to retake next year in college? How would I go about doing it? (Edexcel Higher Linear)

It is possible to retake, but you'd have to speak to each institution individually to find out if they would facilitate that. Take this as a lesson to pay attention in lessons.

i don't understand why people negged tory88

he is just speaking honestly. you should have tried harder and should have stopped messing about. it's your own fault you told yourself you were going to fail, you didn't do anything about it. its your own fault bro, neg me if you want it will only be because you are trying to escape the reality of life and you will take your anger out by negging me instead of looking at yourself

Bro, a C is not a fail, it's universally seen as a pass. I got a C back in school in 2005, I just retook last week and got an A easily . But anyway, I wanted a B as well when I was at school so I could do maths at college. But now i'm actually glad I didn't cause I would have got BLASTED at even AS level, people from school who got A's, some of them ended up with E's or similar, the jump is humongous so if you struggle abit at school theres not much chance for success at college. Especially when you've got your other subjects to think about as well! So see it as a blessing if you do get a C lol, and come back in a year or 6 in my case :P (after college and Uni, which I got a 2:1 in my degree!) when your brain is more developed and you will find it all easy. I found this maths piss easy, I was looking for an A* but made a few mistakes and was abit unlucky with the questions of the first paper. An A was easy though I got about 162/200.

So you've just graduated with a good degree... can I ask why you went back and resat maths?
