Chemistry A Level..? Apparently not.

[ellie.c]

I am taking a chemistry A level. In a year. While working 2 jobs. And volunteering. So not surprisingly its not going like I hoped. Not terrible, but I don't think I'm going to make the A. I got an A in the AS in January but the A2 exam is on Wednesday and, yeh, pretty sure I'm looking at scraping a C. Sooooo, the Universities I'm applying to say that they don't care about A Levels but I don't really believe them. Should I believe them? I have work experience coming out of my ears, but I really wanted to prove I'm some sort of chemistry god as well.

I know I can't be the only person suffering through my A levels right now, wondering how I can't do at 24 what most people manage to do at 18. Please share your tales of failure and self doubt so that I can have some company over here in the pre-exam crazy place.

Graduate entry?
They usually don't look at A Levels apart from those that list their minimum requirements. I would believe them and not worry about it.
I'm sure you also won't do as bad as you think! Even then you can always resit next Jan or summer...
Good luck!
