If you're asking the question you probably already know the answer.

Just to summarise your plan: You're not doing great at school academically so you plan to skip school to try and improve academically. In my opinion that seems counter intuitive. I would advise you don't because you're never going to do the work at home if you couldn't be bothered to do it in school. Besides it's not like you have so little time that you couldn't possibly catch up on the work after school some time.

Don't take tomorrow off just go to school try hard when you do the work and then catch up on work when you get home. You can reach your potential if you just try zoe.

One day will not make the difference, let me tell you that for nothing. A-Levels require constant revision and concentration over a prolonged period. Are you in AS or A2?

If you think you can revise for a whole day straight and still be normal at the end of the day, then no you still should still go to school :P
You are much better off going to school and catching up slower after school, a few hours a day. If you try to rush learning everything, you will get distracted and bored to hell.

What? A typo in the header, and the body of the text, multiple times?

Okay mate.

If you actually care enough, you could go to school, get back say by about 4:30, then fit in a good 7 hours of revision and work before you go to sleep. No excuses!

There were a lot of mistakes though.. :erm:

I think you should have gone - you need all the sixth form you can get. You should eat, sleep and breathe sixth form. You should be force-fed sixth form.

No it wasn't. You need to face up to the fact that you are struggling and get some assistance. The op has no punctuation and your posts are littered with errors. Revising may not be the issue, you may need to bite the bullet and revisit some basics in order to better prepare for the future. A year taken out now could make a huge difference to your future.

I had 17% attendance in Year 13 and didn't get kicked out (and it was a respectable place). I think you'll be alright.

PS: I hold no responsibility for anyone who thinks that this means they can have as poor attendance as I did and not suffer from the consequences. I'm just saying, 80 or 90% if a very different story.

1. you can't spell tomorrow accept it was no typo!
2. taking 1 day off will make no significant impact on revision...and there are no big exams coming up so it isnt really needed now, maybe closer to summer exams it would be more useful to take the day off
3. your massive section on worrying about attendance and then concluding yourself you dont need to worry isn't really needed... + its stupid to take a day off for your reasons it wont change your U's over night

overall I think you should go in and focus in lessons and still do some revision if needed after them make lots of time to improve your grades if your set on that

"I'm studying AS and I took the day off. One day did make a difference, so I don't know what you're on about."

You're welcome. Maybe you need to take a few more days off to sort out your English skills.
