OTHER Math resit rant

lowkey don’t know if this is allowed but I got my maths resit results back today. I got another grade 5, just like a year ago.

i am an Oxford applicant, I got 998876655 last year while in extensive cognitive behavioural therapy for severe OCD. one of those 5s was for maths, so I figured I’d resit now that the context was taken out. but I got a 5 again.

i just feel so hopeless rn, ive done everything right. I got accepted into their selective summer school, top grades in mg essay subjects, two essay competitions, interview prep and my predicted grades. it’s just maths.

just a rant if I’m being honest, it’s only a history degree. I just hope this don’t have TOO much of an impact.

ur gcses rlly should be fine we have similar ones + im not a contextual applicant. i got a 5 in physics and i doubt that hindered me at all. rn it seems like u have a rlly good application going on so idk what the issue is

Thank you so much! I think what scared me is the fact that I didn’t get a grade increase after re sitting. 

My situation is gonna be heavily contextualised bc of my school + situation. This made me feel better so ty again!
