Okay. So, I got my Edexcel results yesterday. They were bad. I am extremely disappointed in myself. >_<
I have considered re=sitting some papers. Though, my thoughts are vague and confused.
I will not disclose my grades - I passed (Alhamdulillah) BUT they aren't . . . well. . . good grades.
I haven't even told my parents my grades. Yet. I don't even intend to. My Dad is usually busy with his business stuff and my crappy grades will just increase his tensions. >_< So, I better shut up mouth up. =X
At the moment, I cannot think straight and I am in desperate need of advice. :-[
My seat in my Uni is fixed, alhamdulillah. But, I dunno if I can continue living with such grades. =,=
It's not like I am ungrateful to God. I am grateful, alhamdulillah. I am just angry and disappointed in myself.
My sister advised me to totally forget about it and keep my University my top priority rather than my past stupid A-levels. >_<
If I resit them. . . I will be at a disadvantage since it'll affect my Dentistry course and I cannot afford losing that.
Well. . . sorry for blabbering. =X I am just in need of some kind of support before I honestly lose my head. :'(

hey
um i don't know if having a "seat in uni" means that you have guaranteed entry, but if you do, then you should *really* stop worrying about your A levels =P after all, if you're guaranteed an entry, it won't matter what marks you get right..? Just try harder in uni :)
And if you feel the need to resit your subjects, I suggest you take a gap year and take time to study, revise and sit your edexcel exams again :) it's not like you *have* to be 19 to go to uni haha
Hope i helped :P

;) welcome ;D

Aww, its okay, you've got a place in university already! If your university place is confirmed, and it is the university you want to go, then I'd suggest not worrying about your A level results.
However, you should be more careful so as not to repeat the same result in university. ::)

Will it affect my career in anyway ? :-[
Insha Allah, I won't let it happen. I will work extra hard in Uni. :(

It was a bad experience that you should learn from and avoid doing it the next time ;)
No , I suggest you forget about it and focus about Uni since your place if fixed there :)
Good Luck 8)

I'm in a similar situation. My A2 levels were bad last year, and then I did a resit, and I GOT THE SAME GRADES AS LAST YEAR. I'm not sure if I will have to give A levels again under CIE, or if I will be able to get into med school anyway. I'll have to wait until after Eid, I guess. :'(

I'm glad you made that decision, Romeesa. My paternal uncle once gave me advice: people who live in the past and people who live in the future can never progress--people who live in the present are meant to prosper. Same goes for any tragedy and misfortune in life. Just like procrastination might've been a root cause of your grades, hence a waste of time, mulling over what's past is also going to waste your time. Here in Pakistan, a similar saying exists: the one who keeps looking behind can never walk forward.
I know your self-image might have been hurt by these grades, I have great grades Masha ALLAH and in all fairness I probably didn't deserve them too, but still the one A in Mathematics has given me the impression that I need to defeat Math, and now whenever I talk of Math I wonder if I'm even good enough to share my thoughts on it. And it's an A which has made me lose faith in my Mathematical capabilities! You might be, I think, going through the same. But you have to trust Allah, even if you don't vouch yourself to do the job. Ask for His help and then work hard on the present; your university. These grades will always remind you the bitter side of exam results, and that's good because what is the value of success without failure? A student who never fails a class could possibly never enjoy, value or invest his good grades in the same way as a person who failed even one class. Failure is a stepping stone to success--push on with high hopes in Allah and insha ALLAH your selfconfidence and grades will be restored. :)
And notReverend, perhaps considering your strengths before rushing into a dilemma of which medical school to take would do you good. I am no one pick a career for you, but if you got the same grades twice, it's easy to assume that your strength may not lie in, say, medical. You probably want to shoot me for saying this when you're finally in university ::) But clear out any confusion in your head before proceeding forward. If medical IS what means the world to you, then go for it, give it all in your MCAT and be prepared to invest in a private medical college. If there's something else you actually wanna do, then it's trying to call you for a while now. :) Good luck!

^That cleared out the doubts in my head. :D Thank you, awesomeness. <3
JazakAllah khair <3
Just one tiny question: My A-level grades won't affect my career, will it ? =S

No. Why, you ask? Because when insha ALLAH you emerge as a dentist, the hiring company or the like won't be interested in how you dd at A-Level Biology. It's like wondering if I know the English alphabets if I am J.K. Rowling :P It makes no sense to doubt one's capability at A-Level, because there are no primary subjects (language, culture/geography, basic Mathematics) involved and the subjects involved, or their value in your field are already proven in a much tougher, higher qualification. :) The only role your A-Levels had were university admission, and you cleared that; so you're good to go!

Ah, I was just wondering. :P
Anyways, thank you thank you thank you. :-*
One burden off me. >_<

Thanks a lot, pal! I appreciate any piece of advice, particularly now :D
To be honest, I still don't know what will happen, I might actually be accepted by a med school, or I might not. Becoming a doctor wasn't something my parents or anybody chose for me, it was an amazing idea that I couldn't get out of my head. I know how difficult it is to study medicine and everything, but this is certainly something that is right for me. What my problem is, exam phobia. And a major fear of failing. I remember when I was a little kid I used to have horrible nightmares of failing simple maths tests and whatnot, so I think something in my mind-frame had a role to play in my results. I still haven't gotten the blue paper with the provisional results, so for some reason I think the marks might actually be different. That's just the way I am, I guess :-[
But thanks a lot, though. Just signing into this forum makes me feel better ;D

MY DEAR
STOP WORRYING
TRUST ME I DID those exams
and no one gave a crap and no one will as long as u have a seat that is in uni..
-
jus make sure u go to a gud & recognised uni then , & jus for da record most of da companies do check u r O/L & A/L results usually. To see if u are consistent , i mean if one fails A/l & then gets a Degree from some uni they might defenetly check the standerds & quality of the uni . So i guess u do da same ? wat uni r u going 2 go 2 anyway?
