In yr 13 - should I just not do my exams

So....
I do eng lit, business and Law.I am confident in getting my prdicted for eng and business A/A*.But for law im not ( i dont even think ill get a c overall).Due to some circumstances (both schools and mine), law has been a nightmare - now i realise that the amoung of revision i need to do for the subject may take time from the other subjects - like it might make me not do enough revision for English or Business. When i say 'just not do my alevels' i dont mean just not show up, i mean talk to my school about this and try to redo yr 13 but with something like criminology instead? - or do Btecs --- idk its just that this subject will either be crap or drag down my other subjects. What do you think? - Advice is appreciated :smile:

yikes thats a stressful situation you've got there! definitely speak to your teachers about this, if you're comfortable retaking year 13 then that might be a reasonable option but check with universities as well .. if they accept stuff like that.

depending on what your teachers say, it might be worth doing the exams anyway considering you've got this far. do you have any university offers? some unis still might take you if you get A*AC because it balances out to a decent grade. best of luck and hope you can figure it out!

I would suggest take the 2 and maybe take law later. You have already spent 2 years so you should be able to do with more time in your hand. In any case be calm.
