Default Anyone else's results made them question their future?
 
After under performing at a subject which i 'supposedly' wanted to do at university (psychology) it made me question whether i am doing the right course; when out of my 3 A levels its the one i am struggling the most with and ive lost my 'zest' for the subject. Psychology was interesting but now its just about learning masses of information, more a memory test IMO.

They've made me realise that my dream career could be a possibility, but that screws up the uni plans that I've already made

I know this is easy for me to say now, on the other side sitting in medical school and being where I want to be. But please dont worry yourself too much, I screwed up my January exams majorly and still managed AAAB in the June. It's not over til august, yeah you feel disheartened but theres a while to trun it around yet.

Yeh With my Jan exams I'm 50:50 in terms of happiness. Happy I got some grades but It's going to be very difficult for me to get A's in Bio and Physics. I got a D in my physics exam, after sooo much revision and preparation. So now I'm going to focus my energy mostly on chem and economics, since they're the subjects which I have a fairly good chance of getting an A in. Even still, I have so many retakes to do and need to get good A's in all of them for chem. to get an A overall.
