What would you do if you failed your A-levels?

hmm this seems familiar, I'd pick and do a foundation on it at a uni or something for a year...so that i can progress onto undergraduate in uni.
I would retake my a levels and then apply to uni. But I want to be a professional hockey player in the future so it wouldn't change that :smile:
Take a break, study harder and retake them.

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.


I do agree 100%. I used to enjoy GCSEs but A Levels was not good at all. Just a lot of stress and anxiety for me :frown:
Probably live life to its fullest. I would go abroad, smoke weed and have fun. Everything that im deprived of doing due to studies.

I do my best to get an A-level, but if its not so good, I'm not frustrated in myself, even if I don't pass it. I'm learning a lot, I'm learning with pleasure and that is good.
Resit desparatly and use the year avaliable to work and create a fund for uni.

I never did A-Levels. :yeah:


What DID you do? o.0
I'd go to New York as I planned and get a bar job and a day job so that I could support myself. I'd explore non-academic growth like learning an instrument, learning a language and then just save a little so that I could do nice things. I'd meet new people, move on with my life and see where it takes me.

It would be disappointing, but I would probably still enjoy my life just as much. It would just be different. As long as I have a roof over my head, a bed, a shower, enough food and water and I'm happy then I suppose life wouldn't be too bad.

How about suicide? It is an exaggerated emotion in my opinion, but there were people who commit suicide concerning bad marks, why not?


That is disgusting, are you like a troll or something trying to make yourself feel better by manipulating people to say they'd commit-suicide over bad a-level results. The **** is wrong with you dude

Calm down! That was an ironic comment in terms of apocalyptic mood. Why so serious?

Suicide isn't an emotion. Suicide is an action

This is exactly the reason I'm dying to leave school! Never been so miserable in my life.

If Uni is like A Levels I'm leaving, I'm not spending 3 years being miserable like I was for A Levels :/
