So I took the option to withdraw from maths. I did give the replacement paper and I got around 61/75 marks, but my m1 went so bad I had to withdraw. So basically, I slacked off a lot and now I feel like I've forgotten some stuff. Can I bounce back and get an A in these days? And how so. I'll appreciate any advice. By the way, m1 is something I may have to do from scratch but I also do remember tad bits since I, never could understand it at the start compared to pure.

So for a bit of context, I've given physics and maths (AS) and I withdrew maths and will give it in October november. Now I haven't student chemistry at all and I was planning to study it and give it in october november but then I got worried about keeping up with basically A2 and so I thought about giving composite chemistry alongside my other subjects in may june 2027. But I personally think this will be too much, because I'm learning all of the subject (Chemistry) from basically scratch with AS+A2 and most students who choose composite, have already done AS. Now I also may be in the prospect of repeating physics too cause what if I get a B (hopefully it's an A). Or I might not. But keeping that on mind. How do I space out my subjects? What session do I take them? Right now I've started tuition to learn A2 chemistry and I can't understand anything but it was an introductory class. And my teacher said that she's gonna start AS in August.

A little explanation but basically I've given physics and maths and need a third subject. I am so confused about my trajectory and career that I can't even choose a third subject. I really enjoyed math, so I was thinking between chemistry and further maths. I'd really rather do further maths. But the thing is, I have done AS chemistry before and I only need to do A2 chem for may June 2027.

But if I take further maths, I'll kinda have to take a gap year for uni, which I don't mind much. Any advice? Will unis hate that I took my alevels in separate sessions and split them because I've seen that unis don't prefer it cause it suggests you can't handle workload and pressure but that's not the reason for me I just really don't know what path I want to take and I'm so indecisive that it's messing me up. Any advice?

If there is ANY private student who has withdrawn from 9709, can you send me the withdrawal form from the email they sent you?

Anyone got an idea for what the threshold may be? The p1 to me wasn't that bad, I may get arnd 61-64/75 but my m1 was horrible and others agreed, their m1 didn't go good as well, I may get around 26-27/50. I'm thinking of withdrawing regardless cause of bad m1 prep and score. But I want to consider what the threshold may be for AS cause I don't wanna regret withdrawing later. I heard some mixed reactions for p1, my classmates found it mid I suppose. I made some silly mistakes like reading the question wrong and writing 20 instead of 60 in my working cause of misreading the question lol.

I'm thinking it'll be around 33 for m1, my classmates are saying the same. And for p1 maybe 55-56.

I may get 61-63/75 in p1 and for m1 26-27+/50. Now my m1 went clearly bad. My classmates suggested that the threshold will be low, cause m1 was quite bad for everyone but I don't know, I don't wanna risk it, cause even if I don't withdraw, there's a chance I may end up with a B.

Guys I gave p33, p22 and p12. I might get around 24-26/40 in p33 cause I got q2 first and I couldn't finish q1 on time and many students went through this so I think the threshold will be low. For p22 I arrived late to the exam cause my car broke down but many students said the paper was hard or weird and im expecting arnd 34/60 cause of questions left and for mcqs like maybe 24/40. Can I at least get a B? Whats the expected threshold?

Fucked up physics so bad I came late to the exam cause my car broke down. I might get like 34-35/60 in p2 cause i left questions and it wasn't even a hard paper ahhh. And I had already fucked up my practical I'm prolly getting 24-26/40. Can I still secure an A?

any threshold predictions for A in AS?

October November resit, here I come. I did so well in p1, literally got 70/75 from the solved pdfs lingering arnd. Totally bombed m1 cause of stress and being so under prepared. I could've never imagined this would happen to me. Man I really tried by best to get 40+ in past papers and I remember the day before the exam I got 42 in the Feb march 2026 paper, felt good, went to sleep. And yeah fucked up m1. Like even getting a 30 is a stretch atp. It wasn't even that hard of a paper, and I made so many silly mistakes. Lord help me. 😭If only p1 wasn't leaked. I hope there's an option of a June retake however unlikely that is. Otherwise yeah, Oct Nov resit. Will this resit affect my uni application? I'm in AS not A2 btw. And also will unis view the retake negatively?
