I need help!!!

2

Hey everyone,
I'm in my final year of high school and want to study medicine.
I am doing 4 Alevels and I'm at a point where I woefully (the worst grade possible) failed every subject. I need A*s but no matter how hard I study, I still fail.
My biology teacher never helped me in any practical in y12
My maths teacher said she didn't have time when I asked for help closer to my mock
My chemistry teacher has basically given up on me, and I am so tired because I genuinely revise and I'm an immigrant, so I do need to get the grades I need for medical school fo 2025 entry
Please I need revision tips, and every other help I can get, any really good cheap tutoring? my school is also not willing to go higher for me, and I can't repeat the year. I'm in a dilemma and crisis. please help me

U dont need to do 4 alevels !
You are putting yourself into so much pressure that might lead u to not do well in all 4.
If theres a possibility drop a subject and focus on 3.
1. chemistry dont make notes there are free notes online so use them, print then highlight important things. U need to do year 1 content too. Flashcards are good.
2. For maths questions r ur bsf, for revision u should keep up w the lessons but if needed refer to a textbook ( online is fine )
3. For bio I wasn’t that good at but mindmaps work well

Make sure when ur revising ur NOT ONLY COPYING, u must understand and always question ur self. Basically be in the moment.
Start setting task measures not time. Meaning write a list and see how much you can do of that list or decide on how mnay tasks u wanna do.

U must get ur life together now cuz in a blink of an eye my exams were a few months away.

hey for biology i recommend taking a look at physics and maths tutor as it has all the practicals youll need with the method noted, relevant videos and flash cards. its a good way to start approaching the practicals if you have no knowledge

If I may ask, are you flexible with working in medicine I.e Nursing, Biomedical Science (working in pathology), Physician Associate etc…

There are other degrees other than Medicine to work in the medical sector.

Not at the moment, no... the only other option is to go back to my home country

Hi there,

I was in your position. I have a degree in Medical Biology, and my high school teacher told me to pick a different degree, yet I still graduated with a first class. You must have faith in yourself! You thrive in environments you feel most supported in, and for me this was uni. You are reaching out and I am so sorry that your teachers are failing you.

I would consider perhaps getting a virtual tutor, in which tutoring can be done in your own home and can be cheaper. Additionally, I would consider graduate entry into Medicine.

Essentially, you do a degree in a life sciences subject (3 years in total). You then apply for graduate entry medicine, this is 4 years in total. Graduate entry medicine means that you skip the first year of a typical medicine degree as you would have already gained that knowledge in your life sciences degree.

I hope this makes sense! I knew a girl who did biomed at KU and then went on to study medicine at St Georges.

Kind regards, Jenifer (Kingston rep)

Hey! Third yr medical student here. I’d be happy to help. Med applications can be daunting and most daunting part is getting the grades but the main thing is applying strategically and realistically. I can help with all that. With regards to tuition i do teach a level maths at a rate of £15 an hr per person to groups of 3. So if u can get 3 people of a similar level together can help out. Will also provide med applications help as you go along too at the same rate! Fill in the following form if your interested and we can get started!: https://forms.gle/YFy5SwuSwRuWwcbL9

I need help!!!
