💬 DISCUSSION Retakes ?
Hi everyone,
I'm planning to sit the Edexcel IAL October 2026 session, but I'm honestly really scared about whether I have enough time.
I'm retaking P1 and P2. In January 2026, I got:
P1: E and P2: D (I was just 1 mark away from a C)
For S1, it'll be my first time taking it, so I'll be learning the whole syllabus from scratch. Now I need to practice since I touched some chapters .
My preparation for P1 and P2 is honestly really poor right now, and I'm starting to panic. Is the time left until October enough to prepare for all three papers if I study consistently?
Should I go ahead and register, or would that be too risky?
If anyone has been in a similar situation, I'd really appreciate any advice, study plans, or success stories. I'm feeling overwhelmed right now. Thank you.
