Average CIE grades - obstacle to progress in life?

[Hira Khan866]

My problem concerns average CIE grades. I was unable to maintain outstanding grades which depresses me every now and then! My O' Level result is as follows:
ABBCCCDD
My A - Level result was even more pathetic, with BDDE! The reason is not lack of studying, but merely over-working myself. The results do not reflect my hard work. I never slept on the night of the exams which caused me to forget whatever I had studied and feel sick during exams.

Will these average grades prevent me from acquiring a good job? I am very hard-working. I am currently enrolled in a university and just completed 2nd semester. My GPA in 1st semester was 3.79 and 3.64 in 2nd, due to which I have obtained full-merit scholarships twice! However, even with this I have never felt satisfied because the disappointment concerning CIE grades always invades me! I have considered retakes but I am skeptical due to the pressure of assignments and tests in university.
Do CIE grades determine professional success?

idk but if i get results like that my parents are gonna kill me for sure ...... anywya good luck with your career

If you got merit scholarships twice and are currently enrolled in a university, I would suggest, you dont make the same mistake as you did in Cie and get a good grade in university exams......But it would also be good if you give the CIE exams again...but that is totally up to you.

I dont think it should affect anything since you're doing great in university. Can i know which university are u studying in?

SZABIST!

I'd say that you keep doing good in university. Take part in lots of social activities and broaden you social circle. You'll end up doing good in my honest opinion!

it doesn't affect anything, a successful person is someone who can find their own ways in becoming successful my friend. Take a good example of our friend Mr Steve Jobs and Bill gates, they never did the CIE examinations and they certainly don't care about it and still they become a successful person and make millions of dollars in their pocket

You need your CIE grades to get into a good university. Once you're there you come out with a degree no matter what (unless you have serious pain in the foot whenever you touch any of your books). The better the university, the greater the value of your degree and accordingly, a better career. Since you already are enrolled in a university, you don't have to worry about the past anymore. Work hard and do good in your university and (as mentioned before) socialize more often. I suggest not to repeat anything and move on. Best of luck

well listen to my problem.. i was studying in ordinary sindh board( totally ehh...). I was a first position holder and the topper. Then i faced some problems and suddenly i get into O level.
But. My family can't afford it and i did the whole 6 Papers yet on my own. as home schooling, without any any teacher
And i got this
Islamiat : C
Pakistan studies:B
urdu :A

Eco, Business and commerce is to come but i don't expect any A to come

I cried a lot. but this was because i have no teacher no guidance, my family said the same to me

don't be depressed at all. Focus on ur current study and for the time being forget about past as it will only discourage u. If u r worried that it will make ue profile look bad, don't worry, thare must be any company which hires on the basis of ability, not just on the base of ur cv. I have seen many professionals who hardly passed matric exams and today they r enjoying key positions in their companies. So don't worry and relax urself. Believe in urself and don't consider what others think about u. With this advice I would like to congratulate u for such a big achievemnt in university. CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Admission in a good university mainly depends upon ur A levels result and other co-curricular activities i.e international contest participation etc. In my opinion, ur igcse result is not really bad, there is still hope for getting in any top university. If u r particular about universities like oxford and cambridge, then that is possible but too difficult. Don't be much serious about these universities cuz their criteria is unpredectible. U need an experienced career counselr more than ur achievements in high school and college. Other than that, work for ur aim, i wish u achieve ur goal. Best of luck!
