Am I done for?

I messed up big time! How do I turn things around with so little time?

Hey everyone,

I’m taking my Cambridge O-Level exams in May/June 2025—which means I have exactly 56 days left to prepare. My goal is 8A*, but I’ve wasted a lot of time procrastinating over the past two years. I barely studied and messed up mocks and mostly relied on last-minute cramming.

I do 8 subjects:

• Biology

• Chemistry

• Physics

• Mathematics

• Computer Science

• English

• islamiat 

• Evm 

I’m fully aware that I’ve messed up with time management, but I’m ready to grind from now till exams and give it my best shot. I’m feeling a bit lost about how to structure my studying for maximum efficiency. And I need to start from scratch.

I need advice from students who have already done their O-Levels:

✅ What are the most effective study techniques for last-minute prep?

✅ How much time should I dedicate to past papers vs. learning concepts?

✅ Are there any specific mistakes you made that I should avoid?

Also, it would be great if you can recommend good YouTubers as well.

Any advice, study strategies, or even personal experiences would be super helpful! I know I’m cutting it close, but I want to prove to myself and everyone else that I can do this.

Would really appreciate any tips. Thanks in advance! 🙏
