Hi,
Thanks so much for getting in touch, I’m really sorry to hear that you feel you’re struggling but it’s brilliant you’re looking for some advice.
The first thing I would say is that your health must always come first when thinking about school and university in the future so I would strongly recommend speaking with your family, friends and teachers about how you are feeling. If the workload is getting on top of you, hopefully those you speak with will be able to work with you to find a better way for you to cope and help you feel more confident about your studies!
There are a lot of services and helplines that can provide more in-depth information about mental health so I’ve included a link to some below – if you ever need to speak with anyone outside of your social or family group, there will be a lot of people ready to help:
https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/stress-anxiety-depression/mental-health-helplines/With regards to the A-level side of things, universities will always take individual circumstances into account so the likelihood of you being able to apply for university with 2 A-Level grades in very high!
Depending on the type of course or career you’re interested in, I would recommend starting by having a look at the UCAS website (
www.ucas.com) as they list all the entry requirements for different degree courses across all the universities in the country – you can hopefully get a better idea of what sort of grades you’re aiming at before you need to make a final decisions.
I would also recommend speaking with them directly as well as the information on the websites can be quite general and if you wanted to get more specific details, speaking with a member of university admissions staff will certainly be useful!
I hope this helps to begin with but please feel free to get back in touch if there’s anything else we can help with.
Many thanks and good luck!
Tom.
