Hey guys.After results day, I was disappointed that I got a C in AS Biology as it is the only subject that I have hope in getting an A. XD. But I wanted to know is it possible to get an A in my A levels if I study REALLY HARD? I do not want to re do it as I am already redoing Physics and Chemistry and at the same time finishing grade 13.Thanks for your help.

I dont think it is worth resiting the exam because it wont effect your A level marks, it is like mock exam.

Does the AS count towards you overall mark?

In some universities they take 2 best as marks and two best a levels to give you average points.

This happened to me too, but I managed to get an A the second time I did.You just have to make sure you actually know your thing on EACH chapter.

Yes. Learn how to learn more efficiently and effectively. Different people have different optimal ways of learning, so find yours. You can do it. I moved from an E to a B in Biology. It's not quite the same as C to A, but I was getting A's and A*s in my practice exams leading up to the real exam. I just got a bit flustered on the day of the real one. And I'm a dumb-dumb, so it's certainly possible for you

Did u redo it or u just got a B in one go? Because that's amazing.

I was planning on getting an A or a B in one go, as I was getting A's in my practice exams, but my brother had passed away suddenly right before exam season. Sooo I kinda stopped caring about education altogether (at the time), stopped prepping entirely and got a C that year (without a proper night's sleep for weeks, too).
As such, I had to take another year to redo it. Here's the thing though, I'll never know what I would have gotten if he didn't die, but I'm willing to bet it would have been higher than a C.
In other words, we can just pretend that I did it all in one go and that it's certainly possible for you to do so. Even if I didn't have those complications, that's still no reason as to why you wouldn't be able to pull it off. It's September and you have plenty of time to get it together

Sorry for being rude lmao, but I'm doing CIE too. "YES YES and YES! I am a real living testament to that This happened to me too, but I managed to get an A the second time I did. You just have to make sure you actually know your thing on EACH chapter."

Oh my God I am so sorry for your loss. Well thank you so much for sharing your story with me. Yes I will definitely try my best.

Two words: past papers.
Plus, a new method I've been using recently for my Anatomy and Physiology modules at university, is where I write down notes/exam style answers to big questions (e.g. "What is neurogenic shock and what are its symptoms and causes?"). But then I'll read the notes/answer out and record myself doing so, and save it as an audio recording on my phone so that I can listen to them during long journeys whilst driving. If you don't drive you could do this while walking. This has been helping me a lot lately, it might do the same for you. Good luck with everything.

That is a really good idea. I will make sure I do. Thank you so much. I wish you the best as well.
