Stories of how people have redeem themselves academically

Yeah, well it was a bit of a stop-gap job really.

In corroboration of your unfavourable view of Betfred, the very same person I speak about did manage to make a tidy sum out of them one time by confusing the cashier into giving him an handsome early price on what should have been a far sh*tter SP.

Where are you studying ? Well done!

for example getting low AS/ high A2 grades
Just to keep levels of motivation high since i'm seriously starting to doubt myself. I have BBC as AS and i'm somehow meant to get to AAB for A2.

I'd just like to know how people came about situations like this

edit: I spelted "redeemed" wrong, don't hate on me

I got BBCD at AS.. I dropped one of the B's and carried on with the BCD because I knew I hadn't put in enough effort it. I literally pulled a GCSE and revised the night before exams. Anyways, for the next exams I never did too well again. However, come A2 year I put my head down on retakes and planned a split of my retakes for january and june. The january exams went slick and I did well in retakes etc, and got my grades up to BBB. Now all I have to do is well in my A2 exams and I can still get AAA..Minimum I want is ABB because I know thats realistic, but the 2 other A's will be hard and hopefully I can make it.

This is the exact situation I'm in! BCC in the AS, resits (however I only managed to do well in 1, went from a C to an A bringing my overall grade up to a B) So now i'm left with a definite BBC (ABB depending on how my AS summer exams went and I think I did alright)

Are you just putting in more hours or changing the way you work ?

Cheeers for the input btw I've been sat here since 8 this morning and I'm still going strong thanks to these!

I have to say unless there were particular circumstances that lead to you getting those grades, and those grades aren't normal for you [you had personal/home problems] then it's unlikely you will out of the blue push yourself up a whole grade in every single subject. Not that it's impossible, but if it was common you'd see people do it all the time, and it's not something you see, pretty much ever.

theres a thing called retakes my friend, i think the OP mentioned they had sat a few retakes, so their grades could be pushed up by a whole one

But this forum is solid proof of people being able to push themselves up a whole grade or two right?
I think my reason for getting those AS grades are mainly due to the fact it was my first attempt at such exams, I rarely did past papers however I revised extremely hard. Second time round I've learnt how best to revise and answer exam style questions etc. My best friend went from a U to an A so and thats 5 whole grades so ...

I actually still barely put in any effort compared to other people lol. I just tried UNDERSTANDING the work more, and trying to enjoy it by reading wiki articles on things like diseases in biology, and understanding shiz by surfing the webs. The only difference in terms of study is a bit more study closer to exams and my college frees where i'd chill with people and just sit around the college doing nothing were spent in the study centre instead, going over stuff.

I've been in your position before lol. If you're AS, its not the end of the world.. just suck it up and get motivated to do your A2. One of the main motivations for me is when my dad called me a failure lmfao, and I wanted to prove him wrong.
