I feel like I’m gonna fail A levels

I have my first paper in about 15days. I had been preparing for long and I never felt like they were enough.
I have an offer for Warwick for A*AA and I take three essay based subjects. I used to enjoy revision but I don’t anymore. When I sit in front of my desk I spontaneously want to cry, nothing brings me joy and I’m exhausted. I went on 10 days break to the Maldives thinking it would make everything better but it’s been worse. I nap because my body can’t take it anymore and I dream about the contents I’m learning, I wake up all guilty and sweaty. The problem is for my AS I obtained BCD and I started to feel like I’m never gonna be enough to get A*AA. I don’t even know if I can pass. I want to throw everything away but I am scared of losing my offer. I can’t afford to f*ck this up but I am extremely burnt out. Somebody pls help

You're not alone!! I'm convinced 80% of year 13s are burnt out right now - some people are just better at hiding it. What are your subjects btw ? And do you have an insurance Uni ?

You should care more about your knowledge rather than how much you're studying. I am in the same boat as you...I feel so bored while revising and that is mainly because i have already mastered that certain topic. Work on what you think you still need work on. It is not about dividing the time equally. It is about dividing time efficiently.

Hug someone, go for a walk without any plan. Try to pause the time for several hours and get some energy from something you like: eating a cake, listening to music etc. Stop thinking about exams or try to switch off the emotions and work as a robot as you have to, not want to. Sometimes it helps.
