I don’t understand why students put the effort of doing five this where burn out leads. My relative got three a stars and got interview for both Oxford and Cambridge medicine with 8s 9s and 7s little 6s.

What was ur gcse grades? Oxford emphasise it more than Cambridge and it might not be the mental health it might just be the burn out.

Schedule plenty of revision time but also relaxation time and see how it goes. You’ll clearly do ok and get on a decent course whatever. Health is the most importance
