2022 private candidate support group

Hi,

So i am taking A level Biology, Chemistry, and Maths as a private candidate this Summer. I am learning all the content my self, and i procrastinate from time to time, which really takes me a lot longer to get things done. I feel a lot of anxiety, about failing, other people being better than me and more prepared, i am idealing aiming for A*AA or more. Last month i.e. January i did no work what so ever, and i am really behind now. I figuered that things would be alot easier if i connect with somebody who is also in the same situation, which would make the process easier, and we could revise and motivate each other from time to time. I would be really really glad if somebody contacts me. Thanks

Hi,

Im in the same position as you. Doing the same subjects ( not sure about the exam boards ) and I procrastinate to a very unhealthy standard. Don't be disheartened, Im sure you will do great. Keep on revising and push through the adversity. You have to make some major sacrifices for the next few months but it will be worth it on results day.

Hi! I'm in the exact same situation.

I'm 21 and bought the materials to study 3 A-Levels back in Sept 2020.

I work 45hrs a week so I am only able to study these qualifications for a couple of hours each evening and on weekends. As such, I'm pretty sure I'm very behind with my studies!

I have a fantastic university offer, but it is conditional on the basis I get BBC this Summer...Eek!

At present, I feel like I'm working around a D/E grade, so you're not the only one who is lacking confidence at the moment.

Try not to think about the exams too much yet, you've still got about 4 WHOLE months. Try to look at it from a different perspective - it's not life or death. If we don't get the grades, we try again next year! But take it one day at a time. Keep putting one foot in front of the other and whatever happens, happens.

We're all in the same boat!

Around 1k or more

Hi I am a homeschooled year 10 student who wants to give their gcse early but I have unfortunately missed the deadline and my parents can’t afford to pay the extra fee. Can I still do them in November even if I haven’t done any exam to resit or do I have to wait until 2023 thank you.

You have to wait until 2023. There have only been GCSE exams in the Autumn for all subjects because exams didn't happen in the Summer. In a normal year the only GCSE subjects available in the Autumn are Maths and English Language but there are only open to over 16s.

Thank you so much for your help

This is a thread for any A-level private candidates sitting their A levels in 2022!

Everyone introduce themselves and say what A levels they´re doing. I´ll start:

Hi, my name´s Helena and I´m doing Business Studies, Law and Psychology

Hello, my name's Naju and I'm doing Psychology, Biology, Mathematics and Computer Science.
I had appeared for my AS levels recently and got *****y grades, and now re-sitting for Mathematics and Biology. Any advice?

I've been told that I should consider dropping Psychology, and I wanted to know how tough Psychology A levels is, and how I should work my way around it.


PS: will be sitting for my A levels in Oct/Nov.

Hi Private Candidates.


Hope learning and revision are going well


Best wishes for the exams.
Remember you can't regret not giving your goals and dreams a shot if you try your absolute best
