What should I do with my exams?

Basically, because of the war, my country is using the NECM system. My mock exam results were low, so my predicted grades dropped a lot.

Now I have two options:

Take the NECM route and get my grades. If they’re bad, I can retake the exams in November

OR

Skip the NECM route completely and go straight to taking the exams in November, basically defer

I was already planning to take a gap year, even before the war started.

I’m not sure what to do, especially because I know my NECM grades will be much lower than what I’m actually capable of because during mocks i had something personal going on and was unable to study.

The issue is, i’m pretty sure universities will see my original scores.

If anyone has re-sat IB exams or had any advice, please help me out.
