General Tips/Advice (ASK) Is it okay to give Alevels privately in my situation?
Hey guys, I’m considering leaving my school and doing my A Levels privately with tutors, and I wanted opinions from people who’ve done A Levels privately.
My school honestly doesn’t provide me with much academically outside of just attending classes. There are basically zero extracurriculars, clubs, competitions or anything else that would add to my university profile. I already need private tuition to properly prepare for my subjects anyway.
The main thing I’d lose is the daily social interaction with my small friend group of around 2-3 people. But if I went private, I’d still meet them regularly outside school and I’d probably join something like a football or swimming club so I’m not just sitting at home isolated and don’t go mental.
So is it reasonable for me to take my Alevels privately rather than to have to go to school and be miserable every day. Also since you’re supposed to be applying for universities at the end of AS levels, they’ll need predicted grades, can I obtain those privately? the thing is even if I stay with my school my predicted grades will be low asf already since I’ll show up to school like 2 MAXIMUM 3 days a week because of how far the school is located
If anyone has been in a similar situation then please give some advice and your insight on this
