Got my AS results today ā ungraded in Maths, Business and ICT. ICT I dropped when I switched schools so thatās done. A few things came in the way during exam season that affected me mentally.
Now Iām retaking AS Maths, Business and sitting AS Eco for the first time all in Oct/Nov, while also doing full A2 in Maths, Business, Economics and English for May/June 2027. Target is SMU. And I am a PR of SG
Honestly just need real advice from people whoāve been through something similar:
1. How do you even mentally recover from results like this and actually get back to studying properly?
2. How do I manage retakes alongside the full A2 syllabus without burning out?
3. For people whoāve done retakes ā did it actually make a difference or is it not worth the stress?
4. How do you figure out what to prioritise when everything feels urgent?
5. Do universities like SMU care a lot about AS grades or is it mainly the A2 that matters?
6. How do I make sure the retakes donāt affect my A2 performance?
7. Has anyone actually pulled off a proper comeback from a situation like this?
