I'm not sure what you mean by grades. You say you started 3 weeks ago meaning you are in AS or Year 1? If so, what grades have you not made?

So what grades are you worried about making? Surely you aren't going to have a formal test 2 weeks into sixth form?

They won't remove you from the course for not performing well in the first few tests. Just keep working hard and don't let it get to you because everyone has bad exams and you just learn from the mistake you make.
A-Levels are difficult and so require more time and dedication than GCSEs. You need to adjust your study methods if you want to get top grades here.

I'm not sure why they would say that because I have never heard of a kid being removed in the first few weeks. I think they might be trying to use scare tactics so kids work hard for tests. Also, until they say anything to you, just work hard for tests. Obviously an e grades isn't what you want but it can deffo be improved by hard work.
