Dr’s Answer

Honestly? It’s not the end of the world, promise. No one’s walking around with their A-level results tattooed on their forehead, and your life isn’t over just because those exams were playing hard to get.

If you’re worried about your profile or resume, most employers care way more about your skills, experience, and what you bring to the table—not just a few exam slips. Like, no one’s asking “how many tries did it take?” in an interview. They just wanna know you can get the job done.

If you’re still up for taking the A-levels again, that’s cool—fourth time’s the charm, right? But if you’re feeling done with those exams, there are other ways to move forward. You could explore alternative qualifications, vocational courses, or even dive into work experience and show the world you’re more than a grade on paper.

Hanna, Real talk—failing something doesn’t define you. You’re still in the game, and there are so many paths to success. You got this, and if you need a pep talk or more ideas, I’m here! Stay positive because you are amazing no matter what, all the best Hanna!

Steward "Tony"’s Answer

As a retired senior aerospace head-hunter, I would not even place any scoring on a resume. You can save that information for the interview and only if asked. Focus on your leadership qualities at school. Clubs, awards, recognition of any type. Charitable services and any jobs you had in detailed form.

A levels are important if you want to get into a specific school which has stringent requirements, so all the other activity that you bring to the table, may be taking away from your study time. Shools want to accept committed students, but there are great schools that can do same or even more for you.

Like life itself, its give & take.
Thank you comment icon thank you sir. I appreciate your perspective Hanna
