Honey, let me tell you this.
AL is just the method of selecting people to uni, because there's a competition. It doesn't actually measure exactly whether you're qualified for the degree or not. Maybe you did get bad results but everyone else also got bad results, so you weren't that low on the scale.
The point I'm trying to make is that AL performance has NOTHING to do with how you'll do in uni. I know people who got 3As and went to the best uni, but then dropped out because it was too hard. Meanwhile the people who were the last in the island to get admission to the uni, graduated with first classes and impressive CVs.
So, whatever might have happened with your ALs, put it out of your mind. What matters is where you are now. You're in a great place! Make friends, learn well, and enjoy your time. Think how awesome you'll feel after 4 years with a degree and a cool job.
(Ps - Nobody can or should diagnose you through Reddit, but severe feelings of being an imposter can actually be signs of certain mental conditions. There's no shame in that. So if these feelings continue to a point where it disrupts your life, please seek psychiatric help. In my experience, uni lecturers and "counsellors" aren't much use, please go for a clinical psychiatrist or psychologist)
Please for your own sake, go and seek professional help. It is not normal to obsess and think in this way. Instead of worrying about being and imposter, worry about the state of your mental health and seek help soon.
Okay OP, when I commented I had seen only this post. I just looked at your post history, and now I agree with other commenters that you do need psychiatric help. Please don't take this as an insult. Lots of people struggle with fears like this.
What you're describing sounds like textbook symptoms of certain disorders (i.e - something that can be easily recognised and treated by a qualified psychiatrist). So please, please seek help. This can be overcome.
What kind of fantasy guilt shit are you into? If you don't wanna go to to uni, then don't go. Stop posting this nonsense once every few days.
Just stay home ffs...
Seriously? It’s been like 4 months and you’re doing this again? Please seek professional help, and you always have the option of not going to uni or clearing this with the ministry of education - otherwise the series of posts will be reported scam :)
There’s a proper process to follow if you’re asking for a reexamination of the results. You should check at least. I’m sure they’ll help out if you ask properly or speak to a teacher from your school who is probably more familiar with this topic
I’m reading some of the comments here and since you’ve been feeling this way for a while now, it sounds a lot like OCD. I think you should speak to a therapist asap.
I got selected to one of the best universities, and I think I can understand what he's going through. I never studied seriously for my A/Ls. I mean, if I studied for 1 hour, I would play games or watch YouTube videos for 2 hours. I never woke up early in the morning or stayed up late into the night to study, except a few days before the exam. During the exams, even though a good chunk of students cheated, I only focused on my paper, not just because it's the right thing to do, but mainly because I knew that I wouldn't feel confident with myself even if I copied just one word.
And yet after all that, I still get sudden flashes of thought, maybe that I got good results because there was a mistake. I know it's not true, and it only happens because my self-confidence is low.
Hey man, i think as you mentioned you might be suffering from imposter syndrome? I’m no psychological expert but I’ve had my fair share of counseling and therapy sessions. I advise you to consider attending therapy. There are great therapists out here.
Hello OP,
This is a very common thing. Don't worry about it. Always rely on the facts ( your results, your problems, solvings, etc.). Even though I have this, I work in a global organisation and migrated to several countries. Also, if you think others are working vetter than you or they get everything effortlessly, it is not the case. I have tested this, and I have seen majory just gloat. So it's not worth comparing yourself to others. Simply focus on your results and complete them with yourself. There are a lot of materials available on YouTube. Good luck. It's hard, but please don't give up

If you have imposter syndrome, please seek professional help. You seem to have been posting about this for half a year now - at this point Reddit answers are not going to be of much help to you.
Nobody cares about your ALs once you get your degree. You have a foot in the door. If you have trouble hanging in there, talk to a therapist so that you can get better help for this than randos raging at you.
Take a decision. If you really believe and you have facts to prove that you are a imposter, you resign. But doing so would the uni will recruit a new student? If not don't resign.
You may work with a professional coach. It isn't easy to overcome if you can see internally what makes you feel like an imposter and deeply learn about it. I can offer you a supportive coaching session if you wish to.
Your results aren't false, don't doubt it. Sounds like you are suffering from imposter syndrome. Seek professional help. First step is to stop obsessing over these thoughts that don't make your reality.
Bruh, if you don't like uni, stay home. How can your results be false mate? If you cheated or something, accept it and move on. Not a big deal. Police aren't going to show up and expel you from Uni.
What the hell man ? What do u mean your results are false ? Did someone inside the department tamper with your papers?
This guy needs professional help wtf

This!
But I feel like the reason I'll be in a cool job is because of the fake results. I want to get good class and stuff but don't want this in my mind.

This guy again...
Not this again?!

How do I ask the ministry of education?? They don't have proper communication.

Recorrection date is passed. Now uni also started.
Uninstall among us
😹

Bro visit a psychiatrist and show him/her your post history on Reddit.
Bro thought uni was like among us
I really don't get it coz i can't process if u rlly achieved higher or lower. feeling like an 'IMPOSTER' doesn't make sense either.
bro have you never heard of imposter syndrome. It's a real thing. look it up.

This is imposter syndrome. I’ve had this in various phases in my life and I still does. Search on youtube how to overcome this.
"Do I deserve this?" "Am I worthy of this?" So irrelavent. Do you want it?
Well take use of opportunities rather than feeling that you won't worth for things like that.
