After 2 years of doing A levels, I now feel guilty for picking Further Maths

How can you ask for advise then completely reject the idea that it may be your revision technique?
So basically, your living in denial then.
"Hear any of that crap..." YOU want the help from people here, they don't need you.

you must spend 24 hours studying? studying in the toilet too?

That's like the exact same thing like my cousins says.
And of course not, I don't study at all when I should be doing. Unless you consider spending time doing homework is studying. Otherwise I start doing doing past papers one month before the exams start and then do hardcore revision the day before the exam :colondollar:

You are clearly capable but your revision technique isn't up to scratch. Someone who puts in 6 hours a day and is bright should be getting ABB minimum.

You sound very arrogant for rejecting your revision technique as a source of failure. You perform poorly for a reason, but it can't just be bad luck. You must've obviously done well at GCSE.

AAB* or AAA*

last warning for you too, mind the offensive language and dont insult god before you also end up in an intensive care unit...

we had a choice between M3 and S3....seeing as i did better in M1 and M2 then in S1 and S2, and also the fact that i hate stats and find it boring, i decided to pick M3 even though people said it would be harder than S3....so i only listened to my heart and analysed my previous performance .....

As far as I recall the flying spaghetti monster cannot determine your exam outcome.

Really this is offensive? Lol hahahaha, internet badman

Fair enough, something definitely isn't working though if your achieving those grades , you need to find out whats wrong and target it before its too late

what have you done?

Just finished AS maths and further maths after getting a B at GCSE, calculating a 95% average for maths and 93% for further maths. I use the official textbook, the cgp textbook (If available), past papers, solomon papers and additional questions, you really need to understand things to tackle tougher questions

mind your foul language mate before someone gets hurt....clearly i wouldnt do these subjects if i thought i wouldnt be that capable....i just perform poorly in exams for some reason...in class i know everything inside out and absorb anything

This might happen if you freeze up completely inside an exam and can't think at all. But if this is the case and you have medical-grade anxiety when it comes to test day, perhaps you should have mentioned it in the OP?

bad luck?
god is punishing me?
this is faith?
the examiners hate me because they saw my muslim name?
the stress of A levels is not for me?

Bad luck? You're a further mathematician!
God is punishing you? Unlikely. Why would He punish you like that anyway?
This is faith? Idk what you're even trying to say there...
Racism? No, and poor excuse. If that was accurate, a remark or returned script would clearly show whether that was happening.
Stress of A levels? Probably. If so, your revision techniques ARE wrong - you should be setting yourself ultra-realistic mocks and focusing on stress management and memory recall in exam situations.

i would have been better of doing something like maths, physics and some other softer subject...

instead of trying to do maths, physics, chemistry and further maths at the start of the year...failing chemistry and dropping it after March results last year..

and this year i am doing bad in Further maths anyway, just failed my M3 exam...

need 300 UCAS points for Uni... which i dont think i am gonna get..probably only gonna get 260 UCAS points...

i feel like an idiot and i feel as i am not intelligent at all....all my cousions back home are gonna get way better grades then me such as A*'s, and my parents are gonna screw at me and everything is gonna stay grim for the rest of my life...

if i happily got into the university, then i wouldnt really be sad...but the chances look slim and my future looks bleak...

where have i gone wrong? i work very hard, almost 3-6 hours a day. i cover everything i need to know, yet when it comes to exams, i fail to obtain the result i want...dont tell me my revision techniques are wrong, i dont wanna hear any of that crap....

note: to reply to me directly, can you quote this or message me. thanks.

I'm sorry to hear your plight, your post was very relatable to me. If I were you, now you have finished your A-Levels I just wouldn't bother regretting past potential mistakes. You are at a tricky part of your life, a scrutinising test from Allah. My advice is a bit vague as I am significantly younger than you, and have not experienced what you have(I'm 16). But I think the best course of action, is create alternate plans as a safety net for possible failure to go to the uni you want to, take time to just heal, you have came out of 2 of the most testing years of your life and step back, look at what you have accomplished (from what I gather you must be a extremely intelligent, hard working individual so that accomplishment is likely large and impressive) and work with what you have, as s**** as that maybe, you just can't change it, it's done.

Hope you find all the strength you require to overcome this trial, brother. Good luck, your investment of time and effort may not appear now but it will one day.
