I’m freaking out just a lot right now. I’m in my second year of sixth form, doing my exams in a month. Everything has so far been fine. However:
For my Biology course, we are required to do 6 core practicals (essentially just experiments set out by the exam board). If you fail to do even ONE of these practicals, you will fail the course. A couple of months ago, I missed a practical because I had to get my ID renewed overseas. I’d told my teacher beforehand and she quite simply said “you’ll just have to do it when you get back.”
Fast forward to now, I’ve suddenly been told by her that if I don’t do it by the end of next week, I will FAIL A-Level Biology. The practical has to be overseen by either her or my other teacher and she is too busy the whole of this week and the next to endorse it. She told me to ask my other teacher if she could do it, but I’m really doubting it because my other teacher is only in two days a week and is also extremely busy.
Just thinking about it is making me feel kind of sick. My entire future is centred around biology. My firm and insurance choices are both for biology courses, and I’m told a month before my exam that if I don’t complete a practical by next week, I won’t have a Biology A-Level.
I have yet to ask my other teacher, but I’m panicking really bad. Like I don’t think I’ve ever been this nervous.
As a side note, it can only be one of my two teachers who can oversee it. Please help?
