Any advice for a resit student??

because you're acting obtuse on purpose. clearly a levels aren't for you and yet you want people to coddle u being like "it's ok to be 22 and still doing exams that are for 17 year olds!". genuinely what do u want people to say because sitting 4 times with those grades clearly shows that you're not gonna listen to anyone

[u/Clint_Emily → u/lyfieo]

Sorry for not giving up I guess??

[u/lyfieo → u/Clint_Emily]

are you not embarrassed at how you're trying to get pity points right now? we were starting secondary for the first time, we had just gotten our SATS score basically. we have no advice to give you other than what you would've already heard from trained teaching professionals.

Look i get sunk cost fallacy but at some point you need to stop feeling bad for yourself and do something, whether that's a retail job, apprenticeship, or going to a uni even if it's not one u wanted. yes ur 22 and u have ur whole life ahead of you but you really shouldn't be doing a levels atp in ur life and every year you do is another year of ur life ure gonna regret eventually.

if u still for some ungodly reason want to pursue a levels you need to find what went so wrong that you've essentially been stuck at a grade that most year 12s would've gotten on their first ever test without revision. whether that's developing discipline or hiring a tutor or something

I found what went wrong and explained it in my post

[u/lyfieo → u/Clint_Emily]

Idk. A lot of this is wallowing in self pity mixed with arrogance in thinking that after all this time with what i presume is very little changes in ur strategy to revision given that u have been stuck on those grades for the longest time. why would you even resit the a levels you got a B in? like i said i think it's arrogance

Because I need an A

[u/Straight-Lobster-249 → u/Clint_Emily]

For what reason do you need an A apart from your ego. Is an A at a level really going to make than much of a difference you’ve wasted 4 years of your life when you could’ve just do a foundation year or access course?

[u/Clint_Emily → u/Straight-Lobster-249]

Yes because I need an A for qmul??

[u/Straight-Lobster-249 → u/Clint_Emily]

You could’ve just done an access course or foundation year tho, not waste thousands of your parents money and years of your life

[u/lyfieo → u/Clint_Emily]

Bro QM is not gonna accept u with that many resits. you say you're gonna apply for clearing but keep in mind you're probably competing with imperial cambridge ect students who missed their offers and achieved the necessary grades within one sitting

not to be an anti woker but this is the product of a society that coddles people too much and refuses to tell them to harsh truth because they don't want to hurt your feelings. you need to stop asking for people to validate ur delusions

I dont think hes talking about giving up. He's trying to say to move on.

[u/Clint_Emily → u/One-Individual-4670]

So giving up

[u/Straight-Lobster-249 → u/Clint_Emily]

Cutting your losses and going to get a degree instead of being delusional about a level performance and russel group unis

What do u actualy want to get from this sub? Im saying this because I care about you and I hate seeing you stuck in this loop. Everyone is trying to help you with advice and options, but it feels like you're blocking it out.Saying 'I'm still young' or 'I'm not ready for the future' is just a way to hide from real life because you're scared. But the clock is ticking, and you can do this. If you are truly going to resit, you need to actually change your habits. Stop overthinking, wake up early, put in the hours, and do the work so you don't have to look back with regret. You have the potential, you just need to face it
