      To be honest i don’t think it was that hard, but i think my brain likes puzzles and things so i’d read about things myself. I am not very good at exams and i tend to get very very nervous in them. I have always been much better at practical things and so liked to play with science at home which i think helped me a lot.

      I think the key thing is if you find something difficult… do not blame yourself! It could either just be a difficult thing to grasp in which case some general reading, watching videos etc and even just time to absorb and think about it can help. Also often some teacher will only teach one way which doesn’t suit everyone and it can be difficult to teach for all different learning styles (although some really great teachers do) so just keep trying and use all the resources at your disposal and i am certain you can do pretty much anything 😀

      I hope you go into science though because it is so much fun.
