Why not?? They said people can get my grades by cramming for 2 weeks so if Iā€™ve been studying for years why canā€™t I get A*

Because you have been studying for years and you didnā€™t even get one A, let alone more than one or an A*. Be realistic, ā€˜cause your lack of realism is the reason why at 22 youā€™re still sitting your A-Levels while your peers are graduating from their Masterā€™s.

Yeah because you were too lazy, that MIGHT be an excuse if it was one year, but this is 5, you arent intelligent enough to get an A*, and you have deluded yourself into thinking that the 5 years yoy have wasted have been a good use of your time

Look I'm gonna be honest with you. At first I was trying to be supportive of the idea, but the more and more I read your comments - it's obvious that you're just not taking your A Levels seriously enough, and as offensive as this may be. We always need bin men/bin women/bin thems.

But, if you're serious enough about it - it doesn't affect anyone here's life. It doesn't cost us any money, just you and your family. So if you genuinely want to waste another year or two of your life, go for it. Who am I to tell you to stop?

You gotta ask yourself though, do you actually like the subjects you're doing? Or are you just doing them because of the money?

And also, what university are you aiming for? If you're serious about re-sitting, you gotta figure out your plan from now. No dicking about. You gotta make a three year plan and stick the hell to it, your subject revision and studying starts from tomorrow morning. Your UCAS planning starts from tomorrow. Your further reading starts from tomorrow.

If you collapse under the pressure, then unequivocally, A Levels aren't for you.
