A-Level Exams are 3 months away, how are you feeling?

If you are really good - it is more than enough time.
Average ability - probably about the right time to start.
Dumb as a bag of hammers - won't matter.

I'm panicking so much and I'm only doing 2 AS levels (Maths and Biology) but I am self-teaching and I also work full-time which is why I'm really struggling!! I've finally come to the conclusion that there is no way of me getting decent grades in the summer!!

I'm actually sh*tting it!!! My leaving cert (equivalent of A-Levels in Ireland) is in three months too and i haven't really done anything! We recently just did the mocks and tbh i don't think they went well :frown:

I'm hoping three months is enough for some real study bc I really want to go to my top uni.

Didn't want it bad enough to do the work before I take it?

i tried, but i have really bad concentration. i would literally write so many notes and ripped them (bc i'm a perfectionist) and i'd also try and read over them but just end up staring at the sheet :/

Well you either get past that (there is no miracle method) or it isn't for you. You obviously aren't naturally gifted enough to get through with no work (based upon your mock comments) so you have two choices:

1) overcome the lack of work ethic/your hangups and work hard from now on. Really hard.

2) find something else to do in life and just accept you aren't cut out for academics.

Ignore choice two, just because you cant concentrate does not mean you shouldn't pursue the academic route.... Most people struggle to concentrate when it comes down to revision, its not just you.

There is a difference between struggling to concentrate and doing absolutely nothing (or close to it). A lot of peoples anxiety is caused by the fact they continue with academics when they shouldn't even be doing them.
