honestly im barely motivated , ive got an online tutor helping me here and there but i do study like 1-2 hours every now and then i know its not enough but its something. only reason i dont have motivation is the fear that they might cancel them one more time and ill be left without grades.

fr I wish I was interested in an easier career. I have a question tho, if we don't sit the autumn exams and sit the 2021 normal exams, is that considered a resit? like would unis accept it or not

I think it will be criminal if i get anything less than a B in history so I’m only revising for my other two A levels
If we do miss the grades do we resume school in September and sit exams in October or do we revise from home and then take the exams like a private candidate

No idea but seeing as I didn’t go through all of the content I’d like to have at least a few taught lessons on topics we haven’t covered
I haven’t even touched a book :frown:
We haven't even finished the syllabus for Maths, two of the hardest topics were at the end. I know we have finished school, but I feel my school has abandoned us.

I doubt they are going to let us in school again, September is hectic enough for them. There is already another Year 13 class.

we revise at home and then take the exams like a private candidate. going to school for a month wouldn't do much, especially since they'd only be teaching the beginning go the syllabus and not the hard stuff. plus there just wouldn't be enough space

Im actually very far behind. I dont expect to finish the spec anytime before october... I just hope the boundaries will be lower than usual
