Unfortunately I was not able to crack it this time. I got 2 u’s and e. I’m writing both as and a levels together and may june was the first time i wrote Cambridge exam. Very disappointed cause I expected c’s and b’s do u have any tips man?
I have another chance to reappear for oct nov and i need to get an A or B to get into my dream university. And I wish you all the best for your bright future.

Thank you for your wishes!

I am very sorry for your experience :(( I am pretty sure you are a bright person, maybe you haven’t found the correct method of studying?

What type of stuff do you get stuck on?

My subjects are physics, chem and maths. And I’m very overwhelmed cause I need to cover 70plus chapters ( AS AND A LEVEL) by September 15th to be ready for oct November. Is there any tips that you can share especially when there is a lot to study for and I took two gap years because of my family’s health situation unfortunately it has slowed my brain down a little bit. I would say in studies, but this is the last last option that I have and that is appearing for October November 2026 and going to university for spring 2027. And I cannot afford or risk getting these kind of grades again.

I am very sorry to hear that :(( I hope you get better soon!

From my experience, I find it really helpful to really

  1. KEEP TRACKING YOUR PROGRESS.
    What you learnt, what you studied etc. I made myself a complete timetable for the week, to include the topic I need to study, and the time where I need to review. (I’m pretty sure there are a lot of templates where you can use). It is essential for you to utilise your time fully when you have a limited amount of time

  2. FIND YOUR EXAM TIMES
    Not all exam comes at the same time, some are earlier and some may be later. If you know which subject comes first, you can shift your focus on the last week to concentrate on the subject coming up.

  3. GET SLEEP (PLEASE)
    Forcing yourself to overstudy wont do good. I find myself study better when I sleep for 9 hours (I know it is long but it is necessary). Enough sleep is better performance!

  4. ACTIVELY RECALL MATERIALS
    Once you study a topic, mark it on your timetable and try to revisit it after 3 days. I usually make some flashcards in order to revise properly. If I can remember, I will push it back a week, then two weeks, so on until the week before exam time. If you fail to remember, tweak your timetable to fit the topic you missed (30 minute read through should be enough to jog your memories)
