This happened to me anyway. I pissed my GCSEs with no revision, thought I could get away with the same at A Level, ended up having to resit all but one of my AS summer exams in the A2 year. And the exam I didn't retake was because I dropped the subject.

Honestly don't think I'd have carried on at college if A Levels were any harder.
