Struggling

Hi I just started 6th form September 2018 and I am taking biology chemistry and French so far I have been really struggling with 6th form I hate the workload and I hate my 6th form. I’ve done tests in all my alevels but I have failed all of them even after doing lots of revision and in fact on my chem test I cheated so that was the only reason I managed to get my grade c i think I should give up alevels and go to college
Is this a good idea or should I stick it out because I think im better off getting a diploma rather than getting three e’s
Any advice?

Find out why you failed. Its normal to take a long time to adjust to A levels.
Talk to teacher and stick with it till April.

If you are still unhappy then just inform the school and parents then switch to a college in the summer and enrol on a BTEC and redo the year. Much better than carrying on to mediocre A levels, but at the moment you cant get into college as they wont start till September.

Do some careers research and get some work experience.

Reading books like this can help you get a plan together.

Careers- See if you can get any of these books at the careers library or they will have similar for you to read. Try and get ones aimed at your age group. If you cant find then just get second hand from Amazon.
