Not sure what to do about a levels

i got predicted low grades for a levels( in yr12) and my friend got predicted decent grades for the effort that they’ve put in but they’re still upset about they’re grades and want to do better but I’m not despite almost failing. I know I have to study better and put in more but it’s like I need to feel under pressure for me to study better. What should I do? Any help would be great thanks

Whenever you feel that way just remember that you could be few steps away from being useless in life if you don't work hard. Your friends would do well and go on to do decent things in life and you will be that person, the one who everyone has quiet disgust for being lazy and incompetent.

You probably don't understand it yet, but if you continue that the path of lacklustre performance you will soon understand it.

hope it helps.

I feel the exact same

I hope the advice I was given will somehow help you and allow you to achieve the grades you deserve
Let’s work hard and do our best

Btw may I know what a levels your doing???

You could apply for an apprenticeship, as they require lower grades. University is more for academic people and if you aren't that (which low predicted grades would suggest), it isn't the best route for you.
You could also apply to a lower ranked university which asks for lower grades, but if you aren't into academia I wouldn't see the point in that.

Try very very hard for your next small test in whatever subject. Actually revise - do practice questions. You will get a good score, much better than usual and it will feel incredible. Then you will realise what you are capable. I think the motivation will come if you taste that positive feeling. So give your next assessment your best shot. You’ll also get the satisfaction of understanding a topic - it won’t be a stressful one to revise when the time comes, as you’ll only have to remind yourself of it.

Don’t feel intimidated by a hard topic. It’s not about false positivity and believing you understand topics that you actually don’t - it is about trusting that you can teach yourself anything, and persevering until you really do get to that point of understanding.

SAMEEE wow... It has motivated me! I do Ocr and Edexcel for maths wbu??

I disagree with this a little. Doing badly at a levels doesn’t really mean you’re not an academic person, for example I actually did quite well at gcse because I put the work and effort in but when it came to a levels a lot of things impacted on my performance and it doesn’t mean I can’t change things around or am I wrong?
