Should I cut my losses

A- levels. They suck.
Its my only writing subject that causes the problem. I panic and don't write anything and can't envisage being able to do so in time for the exam (2mths). I'm not 100% sure what I'm panicking about. I didn't have this problem last year. The closest answer I've come up with is the fear of not writing anything, so I don't write anything. Self defeating cycle.
It's not even like what I write is bad. I tend to get A's when I'm completely calm, apart from when I can't keep the panic under control (ie in class/ timed conditions) when I don't manage to write anything. All I can focus on is the sound around me. Unhelpful
When I'm at home and panicking I do write something! Albeit badly /;
Right now presume this problem will remain and I will get a D (What I already have). If the exam were tomorrow I'm not sure i would show up. Too stressful. The school noticed when we had a timed assessment and I managed 2 sentences in an hour. I got breathing exercises. It stops me hyperventilating, but I still cant write. Tea helps but I can't have this because of health and safety.
Should I cut my losses? I would have more time to focus on my other subjects in addition to removing a major stressor. Although I REALLY don't want to do this as it would cost me my uni place.

speak to your exam officer and EXPLAIN YOUR SITUATION.
You will be allowed to do your exam privately in a much less stressful place, the only sound you'll be hearing is that of yourself, writing your essay ad getting an A....
