Biology exam is in a few days 6 to be exact and I need tips on how to revise everything. Is there a method that I should be aware of or js rawdog the notes along with the playlists which is very time consuming but I think it’s possible
I’m currently failing my chemistry exams, which are in 10 days, and I’ve only covered about 20–28% of the syllabus. Based on the grade thresholds, I need a minimum of around 23 marks in Paper 4 and 10 marks in Paper 5 just to pass.
I’m really unsure what to do. One option is to focus heavily on chemistry for the next 10 days, even if it means neglecting my other subjects like biology and sociology. My idea was to target specific chapters and practice 2–4 similar questions that could help me secure those minimum marks. But the problem is, even when I try past papers with YouTube walkthroughs, mark schemes, and ChatGPT, everything just goes over my head. And when I open a new paper, my mind goes completely blank.
The other option is to accept that I might not pass chemistry right now, drop the subject, and take an easier one like economics in the October/November session. That would mean taking a gap year. But I haven’t applied to any universities in Pakistan yet anyway, so I’m wondering if it really matters. I could also use that time to work a job.
Right now, I just feel stuck and don’t know which option is the smarter move.
I feel very lost and overwhelmed right now. I don’t have access to proper guidance or counselling and I’m unsure how to find reliable information about applying to universities and understanding their requirements.
One of my biggest regrets is choosing Alevel subjects that were beyond my level of understanding particularly Chemistry, Physics, and Biology. I already spent an extra year repeating AS but my results were still not good (C, D, and U). I dropped the subject I got a U in and replaced it with an easier subject where I managed to get a C with only 10 days of preparation. This made me regret my earlier decisions even more especially feeling like I wasted an entire year.
Now that I’ve reached A2, I’m struggling again especially with Chemistry which I can barely understand anymore. I’m worried I might end up getting a U which would mean repeating again. That thought makes me feel like I’m falling further behind while my friends are moving on to university. Even those who took a gap year will start university this year, while I might still be stuck retaking exams in October/November and only applying for 2027 entry.
All of this makes me feel like I’ve fallen behind in life and don’t know how to move forward.
