Is it weird that you struggle and decelerate in an A level subject

Whilst others improve and accelerate, and you’re forced to drop out because of that one subject that’s pissing you off?

Honestly mate it’s natural, I was studying computer science at a different school and was really bad while the class was excelling. I quit that school and re sat year 12 in a diff school to do subjects I liked and man excelled in it. So it’s normal to fluctuate, but revise !

Sociology

It can be normal for that to happen, yeah. Did you try and work out why you were struggling? Sometimes you miss a single piece of info or just need a bit of help to put you back on the right path.

I knew I was going to struggle in it because I hated it at gcse, but it did go better at A level. Before you ask why I picked it at A level it’s because my tutor (who teaches in religious studies and sociology) recommended I do sociology as it’s learning facts whereas Religious studies is philosophical and involves thinking outside the box and judging by my English language grade I wouldn’t do well in religious studies. I knew sociology wasn’t going to go well from the get go, if gcse didn’t go well what makes you think A level will? Surprisingly it went better than expected to begin with then went so so wrong and made me ill in the process.
