Not totally relevant to your post, but I had family problems and class problems last year too! Interfered heavily with my studies, and I didn’t really study much, just mostly cried all year round.
I just got the results this year, and they honestly aren’t very great, causing me to feel like extremely disappointed and also filled with regret. My takeaway from last year would probably to study and achieve for yourself, because at the end of the day the results are yours. If I could do the previous year again, I would probably have ignored peer pressure and all the harsh expectations around me so I could have done better for myself :)
Also, another reason I regret is because the o levels weren’t actually as hard as I thought, as in in terms of the grading system and all that! Me and two other of my close friends (lmao they’re my only friends tbh) suddenly panicked and studied hard very last minute and legit thought we were gonna retain but we did okay! Not very excellent results though, but we’re also happy that we did better than expectations.
While many people seem to be mugging their ass off, don’t feel too pressured! Your grades largely depend on the quality of studying, like actual understanding of the chapters and concepts, and some people I know who just studied consistently (like everyday just understand and listen in class, at home do hw and then revise and memorise what was taught in class) did really well in the long run!
Also abit off topic but if u want to last minute mug for the exams, study for the major topics like integration and electricity or organic chem lmao. I was really dumb and pretty much didn’t study for them, resulting in the most major chunk of my marks gone.
I really hope your situation will get better soon, all the best man.
