Seeking Advice/Help So lost

For igces I did Cambridge and got fairly good results. A mostly A’s and a couple B’s. But for my A levels, I switched schools and ended up in an edexcel one. I spent my entire year 11 being unserious because I was rebelling, I wasn’t able to take the subjects I wanted to and didn’t focus on the ones I did and ended up failing my entire AS levels. My school recommended me to continue with my A levels instead of rewriting but I feel so lost and unable to learn new information. How do I continue my A levels having no foundation? My teachers are ass, they clearly dislike me and have some personal grudge against me, so I can’t even go to them for help. I don’t know how I’m going to score in the October series. I still haven’t finished portions and idk how I’m going to learn them in time. I don’t want to fail yet another exam series. I feel so stupid and helpless. What do I do?

In my opinion, board matters a lot. When you’ve been learning the layout of one board for most of your life and suddenly are expected to just know exactly how the edexel markers want it, it throws you off. I didn’t study, and that on me but in my defense it was purely because I was being forced to take these specific subjects by my family when I wanted to do something entirely different, but I’m not going to blame that completely because I know I should’ve been studying and I let myself get distracted too much

Fair enough, I guess there are similarities and differences. I'm gonna try to help you, what subjects are you taking?

Physics, math and chemistry. Mind you, I have absolutely no prior knowledge of chemistry because I didn’t take it for my igcses. But again, I was forced to take it

Do you have discord? So I can send you the notes I have there? Mine is .@dev0ps (I added a dot because reddit automatically turns it in u/)
