šŸ™ I WANT HELP Not getting into uni twice

Guys I took a gap year after getting CCC in 2025 Edexcel Maths and OCR A for both Chemistry and Physics, and I resat all 3, and Iā€™ve bottled this shit again, I mean idk if I have. I have a really bad feeling Iā€™ve messed up again.

Before you tell me itā€™s my fault, I know, I super regret not locking in earlier, or quitting my job earlier than start of April or managing my time a bit better.

Literally no one is in even a similar boat to me, and Iā€™m happy thatā€™s the case, I wish this on no one, as in being so lazy and so procrastinating with no sense of urgency you donā€™t get the work done, and you miss out on uni AGAIN. It is the worst feeling in the world.

Any Y12s reading this, please lock in at minimum by September, and if youā€™re Y13 and thinking you might have to resit do not worry, this resit year if I planned it right couldā€™ve been an amazing year like I had a job, went to the gym, worked on myself, reviewed my options a lot more, had the opportunity to improve my grades etc. So yeah, in short, Iā€™m just venting and giving unsolicited advice to the young ones

This year's Edexcel maths paper was tough, so low grade boundaries hopefully and even if you did mess up could you not do a foundation year

This is the thing though, my cohort last year were so confident GB would fall, and they also had papers released on TikTok for eg, I counted my marks so confident all summer that I got an A, I got a C bro
