A-levels are solid. In this video, I share my story of what it was like sitting in class with the year below, the life lessons I’ve learned, and what it was like to be in my shoes.
This is long video! But, I wish there was a video like this back when I was doing my A-levels to give me that motivation and peace of mind.
Hope you enjoy the video and that you are able to relate to my story☺️

I'm touched bro. I'm legit tearing up cause I really relate. I'm a mess a the moment. I'm retaking a year and I still feel like a failure and I'm almost done with my first semester. But this has really changed my mindset and I'm feel like I'm going to kill it. Thank you ❤

Being in the year below is nothing, I was in the year below after resitting AS and I hardly felt any difference amongst maturity and experience as I would've in my initial year. I have a friend whos two years older than the year she is in at university and it's really not that big of a deal. No one seems to care anyway, you might get a lil jabs from your friends but thats about it. Past GCSE, ages are so weird because you could be sharing a class with 30 year olds, 17 year olds, 21 year olds. Once you get to uni, age is not even a thing. I have friends ranging from 16-35. If the only thing thats holding you back from resitting is age, it really doesn't mean anything.

I’d say you were more strong-minded and more level-headed than me haha. 100% agree with you about age not mattering especially when you get to uni. You meet all types of people from varying ages and cultures. It’s beautiful. From my perspective, I tied a lot of my personal values in doing well academically (based on my environment and experiences), so things like feeling like a failure and being behind in life hit hard for me. Ultimately I took this experience and grown from it. It’s one of those trials you go through in life that helps you mature, be more humble, and have a clearer picture of what your life is about. So I’d disagree with you when you say “it really doesn’t mean anything,” because for me it did, and I know a lot of people who can relate. Not saying you’re wrong, I’m saying I hope we can both help others who were in our position to become/remain strong, to believe in themselves, and to motivate them to change for the better💪💯

@@aldrichcervania8833 I know what you mean. When I say 'it doesn't matter' - what I meant is, being a year older has no bearing on future prospects or the experiences that people will go through because 1 year is hardly anything. Life isn't a race and everyone is on their own path.

I messed up my whole year of yr12, for my EOY i got a DEU and i just proceed to go into yr13, My school didn’t have any options on retaking yr12 even if it means flopping them, either we drop out of school and go to other institutions or go into yr13 with bad grades. Then first exam of yr13 i flunk my exam again my teachers are now losing hope on me, they even encouraged me to just dropout (which I even considered) but I can’t bcuz I feel bad for my parents, now my mock exam is in a couple of days i HOPE I can at least do decently on my maths and Bio, but for my chemistry i just know i will still flunk in that class. PRAY FOR ME EVERYONE😓🙏🏻

hey I watched this video about 6 months ago. Since then I've still been struggling despite dropping maths early on because I was lazy and did not have the right mindset, but in the last few weeks to the end of AS I managed to get an A in biology and a D in my chem. I asked support teachers etc super early (January) well before anyone else and I'm one of the very few people actually allowed to redo the year A lot of people I know are dropping out or have screwed up on their AS so need to drop a subject or leave I'd just like to say thanks as I probably wouldn't have this chance if I didn't watch this video and act early upon redoing a year Now I'm relearning my maths GCSE & a bit of C1 maths edexcel (I got a 7 for gcse) I'll post grade updates in a year or something lol and to anyone considering redoing a year if you are struggling, DO IT as it's free by the government, and make yourself revise and practise before the year even starts as you will have a head start above everyone else and should take advantage of it goodluck though :)

Hiii bro, I cried watching your videos about resit. It felt like being hugged. I gave my A2 level this year. I did olevels and As really well, it was predicted.tho, seeing my hard works and results of olevels and As level I guess I got this over confidence in myself or something idk ....all I know that I didn't take a2 seriously and I'm sure now, after giving all the exams that I will fail in many subjects. I will have to resit whole alevels and I don't care, if I have the opportunity to improve my grades. I will do it! Can you kindly make a video with all the university that takes resit students plsssss!
