So that’s what we have. Only 2 percent off grade boundaries in 2 subjects, so close to a BCD. Lowest is Maths. He’s upset and knows he hasn’t done enough. pastoral /lockdown issues. Lazy and does the minimum. Seems to have low expectations of himself (dyslexic).
I’ve said to him that it will be his work ethic not his ability that will stop him getting good grades. It’s like he’s paralysed with fear. Doesn’t want to look at university/talk about the future as he knows he’s got these exams. But yet he buries his head in the sand.
He’s going to work on two of his subjects this summer. A weeks revision course and a tutor for the other one and it’s costing us a lot so he has been told he has to work outside of that. He’s really keen to get help and I’m hoping it will get him out of this negative rut he’s in.
With these grades, can he turn it around with help/hard work? Anyone been through this? I know there’s a lot of exam technique in maths so hopefully with practice he can significantly lift his grade.
Thanks!
ps university may not work for him and we’re open to that but he needs something positive to aim for.
