I think i flopped my a levels - need urgent advice

I'm not sure how A levels work. When do you get your results? Are you able to resit this year if you get a low grade?

Ask your school to send letters to the exam board explaining your situation and call up the universities and say that it happened recently hence why you missed the deadline

Always worth trying. Get your school to contact the exam board about the situation for extenuating circumstances(things happen to people in the middle of exams so I doubt that deadline has gone).
Also contact the unis explaining the situation

I can’t resit the year but I can apply as an external candidate. If I was to apply externally then I would get As

Hi guys,

As the title says, I think I did bad in my A levels. I’m doing maths, psychology and english literature, where I have an A in EPQ and an A in my english coursework. So everything was going well until my Grandad (who was very close to me) passed away in late April. This had an immense impact on my revision since I couldn’t concentrate for 3-4 weeks and I had to look after my mother as well who suffers from depression. Due to these circumstances, I started revision late... I just found out that you have to apply for extenuating circumstances for university before the deadline which has now gone and I don’t know what to do. It’s been over a week I’ve been under constant stress, where I don’t feel like eating or drinking anything, heart and chest hurts as well as constant headaches. I’m also unable to expel the negative thoughts. Ive got 4 more exams left which I’m revising for now, 2 next week and 2 the week after but I’m afraid the end result will be poor. Already had 4 this week where I had a 15 mins mind blank in my psych exam due to stress.

Though the deadline for extenuating circumstances has gone, is it best to still contact the universities (University of Southampton and Royal Holloway) to let them know of my situation? I’m considering taking a foundation year or resisting psychology and english as an external candidate and then going to university next year.

So I could do with some advice guys!

Thanks and I hope you all have successful futures

I meant can you resit the exams not the entire year but it's best to talk to your tutors who can better advice you on what to do.
