I'm petrified of not getting into uni and keep freaking out

I am super scared at the minute my grades won't be good enough, I need ABB and I am panicking and I don't think I will get them, I think I will end up with a grade or 2 lower..... any advice on how to stop freaking out?

Get a job/hobby where there aren't any other people taking exams at the moment and stop hanging around with people who are only going to fuel your stressing with their own.

thank you for the reply! I do have a job at the minute which I enjoy and i agree does help a lot, its at home where I get really anxious the most I suppose

Try and remember it's not the end of the world if you don't get into your first choice uni. They might accept you with lower grades, and if they don't you can always get a great place somewhere else through clearing.

I'd also say you're probably on track for those grades, even if you think you haven't done that well in your exams. Your perception of how you did in exams probably isn't 100% correct, and if everyone found the exams hard the grade boundaries will be altered

I am in the exact same situation - I need ABB and think I might have got ABC/BBC. So so scared as I've slowly fallen in love with my firm university and course and I really don't want to go anywhere else



Sorry for randomly quoting you This is what I'm relying on. However for one of the essays in my Film Studies exam I messed up big time and the grade boundaries are normally roughly the same - between 68 and 72 for a B.

same! I don't even want to go to my insurance any more, and I still have most of my exams to go... hoping they go ok but I know my biology grade won't be too great and I'm terrified that my others will have horrible questions. I know I'm worrying for what hasn't happened yet but not getting in is a scary thought

I feel the same! I'm suppose to be getting ABB but I don't think I'll even get BBB! AQA literally ruined most of the science students g etting into uni after the hard Chem and maths paper! Hopefully bio goes well. My chances of doing Optometry are out the window now!

If you know you would rather go into clearing than go to your insurance then as soon as you finish exams get on the phone to them and explain that and ask them to talk to UCAS to amend your track so you don't have an insurance choice anymore. The last thing you want on results day is added stress of being committed to a university you don't want to go to.

As for anxiety - the unknown is scary but you have the strength to cope with anything. Whatever happens, even if it isn't what you hope it will be a step along the way. Something you'll look back on as an experience that helped shape you and build your confidence in your ability to cope with anything. You're stronger than you think and you have a lot of people rooting for you - both in meat space and here on tsr. Don't dwell on your anxiety or beat yourself up for feeling this way - it's completely normal and a way your body and mind are using to cope with a stressful situation - it will not last forever (and I know it's easy for me to say that from the outside this isn't meant to be dismissive of how you feel but reassurance that your thoughts at the moment are being influenced by the adrenaline in your system). if you feel like it is affecting your ability to do things you want to do then go to your gp and seek out extra help.

And remember we're here on Tsr to help you find your path

yeah its always the exams, the content on its own is fine but the questions are horrible! I do biology too, how did you find it? I thought it was ok but you never know with bio!
