Recently in the UK, A Level results came out. My brother for example took a gap year to improve upon them, and he was successfully thankfully and got an offer in the University he wished to study engineering.
There are plenty that are worrying about not doing well and not ending up in the university they wished to and the stress and dissapointment is killing them.
I an here to tell you that not doing well and not getting into the university you wished probably isn't a big deal when it comes to how it will affect you in getting a job, unless you are looking to go to an unique place which offers a course that no one else offers. Although this doesn't compliment what society tells you subconsciously.
During year 7,8,9,GCSE's, A-Levels you may have worried about the exam every year thinking it's the most important thing in the world when in fact it never was, not even close. You will be surprised how many people are getting jobs when they accomplished very little or at least of lesser grade academically.
What matters more than the grade is your experience and the skills you gain from it. Do not be strwas and ruin your self confidence thinking you are some type of loser when in fact thats all nonsense.
I look back at my A-LEVEL results and think how they were nothing to worry about.
