Answer 1

Hi Mohamed.


I am really sorry, but the simple answer is that you are evidently not answering enough of your school questions correctly. You can't get A grades unless you answer a large proportion of exam questions correctly.

If you are getting Es and Fs at GCSE level, then I'm really sorry but there's no way on earth you could do A Levels just yet....I know your Mum is upset, but you need to do a course which is appropriate to your skills. You are more likely to stick at a Level 1 BTEC and then, when you pass, you can progress to level 2.....only after that could you be considered for A Levels.

I would suggest you have a chat to your teachers about this. Is there any chance you could have extra lessons, or can they let you practice on old exam papers?

We are not all cut out to get A grades in our exams...we're all different and no doubt you have skills which others don't.

The Level 1 BTEC course lasts for a year....please give it a go - you may find it easier than GCSEs, as it is based less on exam work, and more on practical / work-related stuff.


Good luck x

Dear Somali,
Don't be upset for your result. It is a very good sign that you are serious about your studies. The only way to get success is practice. I have the feeling that you study the subjects very hard but you do not write. Try to write the topic you have studied. Spend some more time on writting you must get better result. I am writting from India. I don't know your country and system of education. If you feel you can contact me at [e-mail]. Being a maths teacher I may help you in that subject.

Best wishes

You should speak to your teachers and see if they can help you at all. Some schools run after-school clubs for subjects such as history and maths. When I did my Highers, a local college was doing two days of pure Higher Maths - it was horrible but helped immensely! Speak to the teachers and see if they can tell you what it is you're doing wrong - it may be something simple which needs to be corrected. Also, if you have the money, have a look in your local newspaper to see if there is anyone around who could tutor you in any of your subjects. Good luck :-)

aw bless mohamed i feel for you. i am a mum who worried about my son too. he did not like school very much and was rubbish at lessons and got low grades, i used to get very upset about it but realised that there is more too a person than good grades. my son is 15 now and i know he wont do very well in his exams but i do know that he is excellent with his hands and very musical, i know that he will always have money in his pocket because he is a hard worker and that to me is all that matters.. This is what i told my son...do your best, thats all you can do, follow your heart and you will do well and i will support you in what ever you decide.
i know that is not what everyone thinks and your mum should look at the whole picture. if you really worried then perhaps you could ask her for paid extra tuition but to be honest if it's not there then its not there.. good luck mate.

Answer 5

after I did it waaay lower back even as it became 80% for A, 70% B and 60% C..regardless of this we had 3 levels of papers and the % mandatory for diverse grades became diverse on the three levels as a number of the levels were deemed a lot less complicated than others. till they have replaced the gadget then its in common words a/AS degrees the position you "compete" with something else of the country, GCSE became once hit this mark, get that grade kinda concern. If its somewhat tense you i might want to say ask your instructor about it, they could genuinely understand the gadget precise and which set of regulations note to you because it would want to also variety for the era of exam forums. best of success i desire you do properly :)

Answer 6

getting practise papers and having a go is good. also mark them yourself with the mark scheme so you can get an idea of what sort of answers examiners are looking for (in more writing based subjects)

maths you are either good or bad at, but again try and practise small bits at a time. work books are good because they break stuff down into smaller bits and you can just do little bits each night.

geography, just learn the stuff there is a lot of it, but try condensing it down on to a revision sheet. i did that for my GCSE geog. for every unit i filled an A4 sheet with case studies (examiners love them!) and what actually goes on. pictures are good to break up the page, as is colour.

english is hard- you have to write about alliterations, metaphors, imagery.... all the stuff your english teacher should get really excited about!

A-levels are harder than GCSE, obviously. If you really want to do it go for it, but be prepared- you get more homework, and each subject is a step-up, a BIG step up in some cases.

about that girl... she is either naturally clever, in which case we should all envy her, or she puts in a lot of extra work which you don't know about.

You have just got to learn to play the exam game! its all about tactics.

Answer 7

you have to really pay attention in class and do all of your homework completely. go after school for extra help and study your butt off. some people have more difficulty getting good grades but that doesn't mean they can't. remember- school comes before everything except family

Answer 8

your good to be concerned and have interest in your grades

what you need to do is study more
make it like a job with set hours each night

try and get a tutor if you need, either private or in class
talk to you teachers and show them you care, they will want to help you

good luck

remember you make your own decisions in life

Answer 9

Maybe learn to speak English and then you'll be able to actually read your assignments.

Answer 10

work harder, study more, and do extra credit
