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 ❤
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😓🙏🏻
Hi , same I messed up year 12 and I am actually retaking the year, I want to do dentistry and although there are dental schools that do accept retakes I feel like an absolute failure and I feel like my life is over.
Similair story to me. I failed AS levels originally got UUUE in my mocks but got CCDD for Y12 AS then resat everything using option 1 and got AAB.A Levels were humbling and stressful.
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 teared up while watching this damn. Really relate to everything you said throughout the video. My AS results came in today and i was down in the dumps. This video really helped my mental health and gave me an idea of what to do next! Thankyou Aldrich!
got CEE for AS, and was advised to repeat the year this year. Really nervous though, hope everyone that is going through the same things the best of luck
Can I just say this is the most heart touching video, honestly this really got to me so much, and you know something, you’ve come so far now and are gonna be graduating this year!!! Honestly you are such a motivational person and your helpfulness, personality and humble ness will defo take you places. You are an amazing person and are capable of many many things Aldrich! Wishing you all the best in life
So so glad I've stumbled upon this as I was just receiveing my Alevel results.. Got me on my very rock bottom at the moment but after watching this, It really does change my whole perspective & mindset. Thank you
Got my AS results this year and wasn't enough to continue year 14 (I am from Northern Ireland, equivalent to year 13) due to my lack of self-discipline and was advised to repeat all three of my subjects. What makes me feel down is the fact that my friends will be moving on without me and I know at some point i have to accept it, but it's the fact that i would be missing the signing my tshirt during leaver's day, missing the year 14 graduation speech with my year group. Graduating with people 1-2 years younger than me just doesn't feel right, especially if i have only spent two years with them. I was also friends with a girl i like who's now the year 14 head girl, but we no longer talk to each other, ever since the end of year 11. I was hoping that because this was the last year i would go out of my way and talk to her for the final time before we leave, and i'm now having a lot of regrets
hey, im in a similar situation to you as i flunked the 2 subjects i took in AS levels and couldnt even resit them in october november. my friends will all be graduating without me and ill be left behind. but in these few days ive had processing these results, ive realised that while my friends are leaving ahead of me, getting their ceremonies ahead of me, all i have left is to work hard so i can be happy at those same ceremonies, to met my graduating friends with grades id be proud of to somewhat relish in the moment with them one last time. retaking grade 11 (year 12) is more of a chance so i can get into those prestigious unis, so i can carry myself with confidence in my grades. i hope you can realise that while it genuinely hurts, and i know just as you do what that pain is and how it feels, disappointing my parents and making them cry and lash out, its also a chance for us to do better so we dont suffer like that again. and dont make our family suffer like that again. youre not alone in your experience, and im sure we'll all do great as long as we work hard. im wishing you all the best with everything, i believe in you, and i believe in us, and everyone who may read this
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!
Thanks for the help. A couple of months ago, I failed my AS mocks and I felt disappointed, as I had poor grades, but watching this video has uplifted my spirits and I think has helped me to be a better person.
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 :)
Hello, i finally got this video recommended, i love it, its helping me, i am in tears, i feel so relieved because someone could bring up this topic with a positive mindset, i respect you so mush ❤️ i will rewatch this video over and over again, coz it really turned my worries into a better plan for the future, pray for me please 🤲❤️ i hope you are doing well bro
Hey! Thank you so much for this very inspirational and positive! I was wondering what you said in your personal statement about failing and retaking that led u to get offers? Like how did u say this in a positive light?? Also your reference what did that say? Also sorry too many qs when u resat did u do it privately yourself and revise at home for full year or what? Thank you so much again for this just really stressed out 🙏🙏
Can I retake 6 months after my AS level exam? (That means Oct/Nov session if i sit for AS level exam in May/June.) And do i have to retake all the subjects or just the subjects that i didn't do so well?
@@sierrah6242 it went way better than i expected to be honest, i did minimal revision for 1.5 years about but i managed to pull myself back together im pretty confident BCC is my baseline but im hoping for BBB tbh just waiting for results
Bro what if we worked hard and the expected grades was A or B and then u see that result and Boom a 2D’s! But here I’m going to retake it with A2 (option 1) and I hope it gets better, I will be working harder.
Hey out of curiosity, did you have to include that you retake a year in your personal statement when applying to uni? Cause I’m currently on the same boat on repeating a year for a levels
@@goldenstitch1512 i dont think u need to state it in ur ps but they (the unis) might find out ure a retake student thru ur certs (since ull have two different retakes when u resit, the one before resit and after)
Yeah yeah I’m planning on it! Would you prefer one long video but well structured, or a video series? (I’ll be talking about accommodation, making friends, academics etc)
I'm retaking gcses this year, do you guys think it's possible to take A levels in one year, and providing that I have private tutoring and intense revision

Did it cost to resit year 12? If so how much?
@@Arun-od8zo Free, i did it through the school i previously attended.
@@solab0y what happens if u have to do it at a different college is it still free cuz my school says u have to go elsewhere and start agai

Thanks for the help. A couple of months ago, I failed my AS mocks and I felt disappointed, as I had poor grades, but watching this video has uplifted my spirits and I think has helped me to be a better person.
just wondering if you could have any updates on this message
hey I watched this video about 6 months ago.

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 :)
