Hi I'm a current year 12 student.
The end of the year is coming up and I have my final exams this week which count towards my UCAS predicted grades.
Throughout Year 12 I have significantly struggled with motivation to revise, and have lacked confidence. I'm not sure why because in highschool I was always a good student and actively revised and tried really hard. But since starting college everything went down hill for me.
I study Biology, Chemistry and Maths A level, and have consistently achieved B,Cs and D,s on my mocks throughout this year. But I always complete my homework to a high standard, and I always actively participate in class and my attendance is good to. I struggle with my Maths A level a lot, I regret choosing it but unfortunately I cannot swap it, and I really do not want to resit year 12.
I don't understand why whenever i sit down to try and revise i just can't seem to find the motivation to, but I have such high aspirations for myself, but I can't figure out why I can't sit down and use that as motivation.
From a realistic point of view, I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to achieve the predications I need for the course I want to apply.
The Unis which I have in mind to study Biomedical Science at require AAB or ABB. I'm hoping to come out with BBB from these finals mocks, so maybe over the summer I can complete some extra work, and really practice in hopes to prove to my teachers that I am dedicated and could potentially increase my grades, but I'm not sure if this is even realistic.
Should I maybe start to consider other options like a apprenticeship? or maybe taking a gap year after actual a levels? I have 1:1s with my teachers coming up where they will reveal my predicated grades and discuss further, is it worth waiting for those? I'm just under a lot of stress and I genuinely do not know what to do.
I know I am responsible for my own mistakes that have lead to where I am now, but any advice at all would really be appreciated.
Thank you
