    Have no expectations to yourself and you can't be disappointed.

    I have the impression there are members who aren't serious in comments. :hmmmm2:

    That might happen, if I don't pass the A-level: I'm building a float (with a sail), walking to the North Sea and set sail and I'm trying to across the atlantic one day.

    When I DID fail my AS year I simply resat and loved every minute of the resit year, it was just general lovely and I worked my socks off the second time. It seemed awful at results but once I got enrolled into my sixth form for my resit year, everything fell into place and from that day I started working.

    Most of them, who wrote in this thread, would start to cry, if they don't pass the A-level.
    Is it really so important? I don't think so!

    Here is an another Idea which I get, if I don't pass the A-levels: I'm crossing the sea and I would go ashore on an Island. Yes this comment is connect to my last one!

    I was in tears but after a few hours or the next day, you'll be over it depending on how much work you put into it. I knew I was going to fail as I was just so behind in my work so I decided to put immense effort in and that's exactly what I did. Everything worked out in the end

    This is one of the aspects which are just poor in my opinion. Learning shouldn't be a work, it should be fun - and interesting, no matter what a doctrine it is.
