15days? and you still don't have a clue how to prepare... I suggest you just relax and let it be, then gv the papers again... btw I don't know if u plan to be in the field of medicine but if you do... then with this level of discipline you will not make it by a mile

Maybe that person thinks you still have the entire course left to complete in 15 days.
But you have done the course, just need notes for ATP.

haha... the emotional teenage brain .. its ok... frustration is normal at such a stage especially when a person tells another something logical and realistic...here is some awesome biology for you

"...i am a private student without a tutor..."
wow never seen anyone take such a self-destructive decision... at-least not anyone realistic and responsible

"....no one is there to guide me...."
what did you expect would happen?..... just go to a tuition teacher's student take the atp notes from that student... seriously? u cant think of THAT!? ...do group studies... if u do not have friends then go to the tuition teacher directly.. or any school teacher .. if you cannot pay the teacher ..make a sad puppy face beg that teacher and manipulate her or him to give you the notes... use the examiner reports, marking schemes ... check online there is slideshare.com, scribd.com, 4shared.com, torrent sites, if all else fails .. buy the RedSpot ATP solutions.. i know it is based on the Singapore syllabus but at least it will give you some idea how to answer plus its not like you have a lot of time... and you ask for guidance from anyone and everyone at the START of the year when you ideally should decide to START studying... not when it is nearly exam time.. grow up.. because no one has time for anyone.. and personal problems NEVER count as an excuse

btw here are links for ATPs.. hope it helps... and best wishes Karima:- btw my earlier message is exactly the kind of help you need .. it's called a reality check.. before you go on trying to do something you just aren't ready to do.. because if you were ready you would not be in this situation... good luck and score some marks:-

My level of discipline is like zero.
I don't even work hard. But i get good grades.
Will i be able to do medicine?
Someone who is smart, but not hardworking, can someone like that, do medicine?

never compare school life to a professional life, hell, we cannot even compare curriculum designed to train professionals to the actual field work
and no intelligence is nothing compared to hard-work.. even the most intelligent have to work at-least 10,000 hours to achieve expertise in any field that is what a famous research/book (attached) suggested

http://247best.weebly.com/uploads/5...l_malcolm_-_outliers_the_story_of_success.pdf

.. however, the 10,000 hours is NOT a magic number .. just an idea to make people understand the point of hard work.... btw for yourself check the requirements for medical schools in Pakistan, US and UK... they usually tell you the recommended number of hours for medical school... also ask doctors of various colleges and specialties.. and it is never EASY or DIFFICULT .. because learning depends a LOT upon your manner of perception the learning various mediums, lecturers, books, video lectures, etc ... btw in the real world and even at uni no one is there to hold your hand the way they do it at school... u r are usually treated like a stray animal until and unless you show exceptional hard work, an extreme eagerness to learn and demonstrate your learning desire through results, also being logical, humble and self assured like a brick wall goes a long way... to find out if you have the personality for being a doctor take an online MBTI test (not scientifically proven) and a Big 5 Personality Trait test (scientifically proven)... then you can mold your personality by gradually molding your daily routine
also check the grades required at medical schools and see if you can do it... and remember changing your career choice is never the sin that people around you make it out to be... and do internships get a feel of the practical work ask doctors if you can be in the operating room.. its fascinating i tell you... also if you are doing your O-levels check the video lectures of khanacademy.com , TTC (also called the great courses), educators.com via torrents, there are schaums' outline as well

just my two cents... and good luck

Hey, thanks for the links you provided. I don't wanna argue because I am not a person like that. Nor I will have to give you explanations but I will give now. Before, I was an Edexcel student, and I did not have to appear in any kind of practical examinations. But before exam registration my passport had some kind of problem and I was late. Then I shift myself to Cambridge, where I find paper 6 alternative to practical. I had a tutor, but that teacher left some months ago, actually ditched me, and never taught me anything on paper 6, well he left because I argued with him, just because to help me really. But he left, I had 2 months left then I asked my friend to support me and planned to do a group study, but that tutor manipulated her and snatched her away from me. Since then I was alone. I did not have friends who can help me for this. Then I studied all alone, took notes from net and referred to different books and completed my syllabus. I could not manage another tutor because I was also suffering financially (that's why I leave school).

Yes I am mentally frustrated, you are right, not because you said something logical, but because I feel I have lost everything. You can't judge on people, who is responsible and who is not, who is intelligent or stuff, you never know what a person goes through. My life turns into a game after I missed the Edexcel examinations. And you could have ignored this thread if you disliked me, my thread! But thanks once again, as I said um not here to argue just needed help. You made fun of my tears, but it's okay, forget it. Thanks! :( :'(
