I took my English o levels yesterday, and I think I flunked it because I had an ongoing worry that kind of impacted my performance. I don’t know what has gotten into me, because it was supposed to be easy and I had the full potential to answer them properly. Literal tears were welling up my eyes and streaming down my face during and before the second paper
I’m usually strong in English, I got an A2 in prelims but I know my actual o levels will not live up to it. I’m expecting an E8-c6..
I have also flunked every single paper I took so far, I don’t know if it’s even worth putting in the effort to do well in future papers
hello, I understand that the results does not match your expectations, and your feelings are valid. as a student myself, I can empathise with you. I also believe that it is not the end as there are other papers you can prepare for. cheering you on op

Hello @user5692 thank you for sharing this. It sounds like the exam was really overwhelming for you, especially with everything else that’s been on your mind. Having worries during a paper can definitely affect how you perform, and it’s completely understandable that you felt emotional. It shows just how much you care about doing well.
Even though it feels like you didn’t do as well as you hoped, try not to assume the worst just yet. Sometimes, we walk out of an exam feeling like we’ve failed, only to realize later that we did better than we thought. You mentioned that you usually do well in English. That strong foundation is still there.
I know it’s disheartening to feel like things aren’t going right in your other papers too, but please don’t give up now. You’ve already put in so much effort to get here, and every paper ahead is still a chance to do your best. You might surprise yourself with how much you can recover from this.
Be gentle with yourself. You’re doing your best under really tough circumstances. Please take care of yourself and keep going. You’ve got this!
