anxious about not meeting the conditional offer

11

I am currently feeling super anxious about my grades.
I did badly on one of the papers where other people were saying that it is super easy .
What should I do
Should I write a letter to the uni before results day to explain how I really wanted to go to this course and stating that I have underperformed ?

Well unfortunately I dont think a university will take sympathy points from a letter. Maybe they have in the past or smt but I would expect for them to have let someone in, it would have to be MAJORILY drastic. Sending a letter won't do anything(because if that was the case, loads of people would be doing it and getting into university). That's the sad truth,

Look, people will say a variety of stuff after an exam - some people say to was easy but then results come and they actually messed up and vice versa. Some people say it was easy and do quite well. But remember that exams are meant to be challenging - they're supposed to put people into categories and filter everyone so don't feel bad that you found it difficult.

Moving forward, if you have any exams left - don't stick around people who discuss it. Just leave straight after and go home to relax instead of stressing more. Secondly, if you think you have messed it up - look into clearing and prepare for it for results day.

Its totally normal to feel stressed and anxious, it happens to everyone. I know it's a horrible feeling and its sort of sad how many students get affected via exams but if you worked hard, hopefully you will get the grades you wanted and if not - there are still options available so dont lose hope :smile:

All you can do is work your socks off, do the best that you can in exams, and then sit back and wait for Results Day. You have probably done far better than you assume, so try not to worry.

Writing begging letters to any Uni won't get you a place. They will just make any decision on your eventual grades. And, if the worst should happen, you can resit and reapply. Nowhere does it say that you can only go to Uni straight from school, so you might need to take a slightly longer view on this.
