      I think because of societal pressure that we have to do well in exams or we won’t do well in life. But this isn’t true! I had to resit all of my AS levels, and I failed an exam while I was an undergraduate and now I’m about to finish a PhD 🙂 As long as you realise there is more to life than exams, and as long as you do the best that you personally are capable of, then there is no need to stress
