r/Olevels

why do yall attack the people who're upset that they got an A instead of an A*😭😭can you not have emotions?? everyone has different expectations from themselves, diff amount of efforts that they've put in or diff grades that they've to MAINTAIN since they've only gotten perfect grades their entire lives and were also supposed to do so in their caies but didn't, c'mon have some empathy man.

p.s this doesn't include the "omg I only got an A🥺" replies under someone's "i hate my life tf are these grades" post, that shit is annoying asf😭 I'm js referring to general posts/your topper classmate

also i gave my o2s and got 3A*s so this isn't about me😓

i went for the walk-in interviews hosted by cedar college for the final round 4 to the phase 8 campus. i went with my dad and we got there and were greeted by the first line of reception and quite nicely (i had no idea what awaited next) the guy guided us upstairs and went back out. now as im walking upstairs me and my father lose our way and we ask a lady who obviously looked like she was a part of the faculty and was a teacher for directions to where the interviews were being held. SHE DEADASS stood there looked me and my dad up and down and said sternly “do i look like a tour guide sir?” and laughed it off sarcastically to simmer and withhold the hit. i was appalled and my dad laughed it off and we didnt think much of it, regardless she didnt guide us and walked off. so we eventually did find the way to the interviews waiting area and my father sat in the waiting area as i got the token thingie sorted and got my results printed out. so now i get the token and shit and i sit down next to my dad and waited. we are eventually called up and sent into a library and led to a desk where we are met with the most dreadful, annoyed and entitled face i have ever SEEN. we sit down, the lady doesn’t even reply with walaikum salam and says “result deikhayen”. i show it to her she asks me about my grades where were pretty bad i got AABCCDDE, now heres the crazy part, i got an E in chemistry which i was dropping and pursuing the ICS path for a levels but she ABSOLUTELY HUMILIATED me on the E i got i tried explaining how i had a huge problem studying chemistry and that it was my weak point but she kept pressing on that single subject disregarding my other subjects AND NOT CONSIDERING THE FACT IM NOT EVEM PURSUING CHEMISTRY OR TAKING IT AS A SUBJECT FOR A LEVELS??! PLUS she didnt even ask me anything else other than just bombarding me with my E. i dont wanna talk about how the rest of the interview went as u can probably carve an idea of how it went, she wouldn’t listen to whatever i had to say. my dads just beside me listening to my belittlement being conducted lmaoo. anyways i got put on a waitlist and we go out and my dad tells me that its fine and an E is not the end of the world which i know. the next part was as worse lol.

my dad wanted to get to know the fee structure so me and him went to the admissions office or something i dont know and he asked him if he could learn about the fee structure. the guy that was sitting behind the desk isnt bothered and keeps scrolling on his phone and dosent even acknowlede the factthat he is being addressed. my dad tries excusing himself a couple of times to the guy but the guy wont budge off his phone HE WOULDNT EVEN REPLY. my dad finally had enough and he got a little louder AND THEN HE FINALLY HEARD and boy do i wish he hadnt because he started talking to his associate or the other guy who was working there DIDNT EVEN LOOK AT US OR SAID IT TO US DIRECTLY and said “inko batayen jab tak admission nhi hota fee structure nhi milskta” his tone was patronising insulting and egotistical. my dad just laughed it off and we decided we are just going to leave and then the f**ker tells my dad “aapko jisne bhi bataya hai ke fee structure mil jayega yahan se usko yahan bulayen” like we were his servants or something. my dad got pretty mad by this point and i just tried descalating and just getting out of there. i have applied to many colleges and went for interviews but i havent seen more of in a way classist egotistical and shitty faculty EVER. absolute mockery was made and idk why. we always treat others nicely and dont get me wrong we made sure to be civilised while interacting and just be nice to the people there but something is genuinely wrong with cedar.

other than that i met completely random guys and girls there that were in uniform and were students and we chatted a bit. they were really nice and just had a sense of warmth and were welcoming plus they were helpful in helping us get to the interview area. just a very nice group of guys. really glad to meet them and if ur reading this guys yall are really cool and thanks :)
anyways thanks for listening to my yap i guess and have a lovely day

Okay so here is the situation, I have a twin brother and like on result day I got AAB while he got BBC, and this like tore me up because he works very very very hard and worked more then me yet he still got bad grades. We studied together and everything and I know this is Allah's plan that he has smt better for him but the thing is I still feel very bad. Since we are twins, it's basically feels like I got the bad grades and idk how he is handling it. How should I chear him up and deal with this kinda depressing feeling

Basically, I initially failed Maths and Urdu in 9th grade, so I decided to switch to O-Levels. At that point, I only had about a month to prepare, so I took the Urdu exam and received a D.
After that, I decided to take Biology, Physics, and English. Unfortunately, I failed these subjects, so I decided to retake them. I then took Chemistry and Biology and passed Biology with an E.
Afterwards, I decided to retake Physics and English in October. However, I only had about a month to prepare for those exams as well. When I received my results, I got a D in Physics.
I have now taken Biology, Chemistry, and Maths again. I received a D in Biology, an E in Chemistry, and a U in Maths.
At this point, my parents are considering having me retake Maths and English and then start first-year Intermediate (1st-year Inter). However, my ultimate goal is to become a doctor, so I am unsure whether this is the best path for me.
I want to choose the option that gives me the strongest chance of getting into medical school. I am particularly concerned about whether I should continue retaking O-Level subjects, which subjects I should prioritize, and whether I should move on to Intermediate now. Please help me

First of all, I'd like to start off by saying, Congratulations to everyone who was able to endure such a long and hellish journey. I'm glad we were able to reach the finish line, and I'm sure most of you got the grades you desired. To those who didn't, it's alright. Not everything goes as planned. This was Allah's plan, after all, so have faith in him because I know he has something good waiting for all of us, which is why we should be patient.

Now, the real reason I'm writing this is because when I joined this community, I thought it was a safe place to let out our vulnerabilities and not feel embarrassed by them in the slightest.

But from yesterday, all I've seen that most people were very ungrateful. I thought that when the results were out, everyone would stay humble and comfort those who needed it.

Instead, what surprised me was that those who got C's and D's and needed the reassurance were the ones reassuring the people who got A*'s and A's.

For example, I have a friend group of four people, including me. Friend A and I got the same results (average results, where we both got D and were pretty sad about it), but instead of us being comforted, we had to comfort our other two friends (One of them got 4 A*, 1 A and 2 B. The other got 6 A and 1B) who genuinely did well, and both Friend A and I were really happy. But they heavily disappointed me by saying they did very bad and were angry with their results.

And they were saying things like "imagine having a B.". "I'm so dissapointed,"

It's okay to have expectations and be sad because they weren't fulfilled. But it doesn't excuse the fact that you can rub your results in front of people who got worse than you. They were mocking about getting a B, where I got 3 B, and I was genuinely happy with it until they said that

Before you begin defending yourself by saying we come from poor backgrounds and our parents worked hard for the olvl registration money, buddy, I'm also in the same situation. You don't see me whining now, do you? I know I disappointed my parents, and that's my cross to bear. And my friends aren't poor, there are like hella rich people

Trust me, I cried for two hours after seeing the D and don't come here saying I didn't work for it because I fricking worked my butt off for it.

It's genuinely sad to see the toppers not having the basic humbleness installed in them and were arrogant about it underneath. We get it. You guys got A's and A*'s, and congrats to you , but if you had posted your results by saying something like "Alhamdulillah got my desired results" and then gave comforting reassurance to people who got less, maybe I wouldn't have been this mad but no, yall posted your results saying "Should I get a retake?" Yea mate, go for it, waste your money. "My results are really bad." they're so bad that harvard University has blacklisted your name

But to those who were just happy sharing their A's and A*'s and weren't arrogant about it underneath. CONGRATULATIONS TO YALL, YALL DESERVE IT.

I'd like to end this by saying. I'm sorry if I was rude and harsh. But I'm not in the slightest bit sorry if you got offended, because if you were offended, you're one of those people.

tbh its so easy for u to say us ungrateful and what not... you dont know us students who have parents pressure... as a person who got 2 As and 1 A* im still not happy, because my parents couldnt afford o levels.. they took loan for that.. they had so much expectations on me.... and when my mom said koi baat nhi acha h, the dissapointement on her face killed me, so before saying that someone is ungrateful you should consider this thing that they have worked day and night, have parents with high expectations , toxic relatives and middle class people and when i saw those people chilling with Ds i wish i could also be relaxed... but i cant ..... i think

Hey guys can u pls lmk which clg to join for Alevels in lahore either ISL or BDC these are top two rn fir me lemme know which one should i choose cus i got no ideaa amd pa i got avg grades on olevels,please help me

I really need some advice. (DID ALL THIS AS A PRIVATE CANDITATE)

Last year I got C in Pak Studies, C in Islamiat and C in Urdu. I was scared of disappointing my parents so I edited my result on screen and showed them A's.

I did the same thing this year. My actual result is D in Physics, B in English, D in CS, E in Maths and Ungraded in Chemistry.

My parents still think I got straight A's. I also told my A-Level college the fake grades when I went for admission. Now they'll eventually ask for my actual Statement of Results and I'm scared they'll contact my parents.

I only have 7 passes because of Chemistry, and I don't have my own money to secretly deal with retakes. I already told a teacher I trust and he told me I need to tell my parents, but honestly I just can't bring myself to do it.

I know I messed up badly. I just don't know what to do now. If anyone has been in a similar situation or knows how colleges/IBCC handle this, please tell me what my options are. I seriously need some help.

I got B in both physics and biology while I expected A*.

I thought I would at least get an A in add maths and was surprised after seeing that I got B ( I missed A by 4 marks). For add maths p-1 12 variant for the integration math I took an additional answer sheet for finishing the math. So after I got my script when I checked my paper the additional answer sheet was not there in the scan. Not only that they didn’t even bother to inquiry about it and just gave me the 6 marks on the working of my original question paper and rest of the 5 marks went just to drain 🥀
Wtf Cambridge? And what am I supposed to do now?
I need suggestions asap pls

Hi gng today was a really hard day.
I got C in biology,
D in physics,
E in chem,
U in maths.
This is genuinely such a hard pill to swallow, it felt like my world has ended. I really dont know what to do I’ve always been an A student, but this time maybe the subjects were hard for me idk maybe it’s just because i suck at maths and studying.
I need help what am i supposed to do now.
my parents are saying i should just complete A LEVELS and get really good grades or its over this time honestly and then after A levels i should take a gap year and reappear for maths.
I am in Alpha college rn idk if they will accept this or no i got offered an unconditional 20% scholarship and admission though so idk.
I never expected this to happen
Also to all those who got really good grades im happy for you guys!! Congratulations
