I remember how my teacher had me kicked out of class multiple times. Embarrassed me in the crowd, saying how could I even get here with my level of efforts.

When I got national ranking though, it became a story to tell for sure.

Another time, I failed three exams straight surprisingly. And I had never failed in anything in my life before this, or even after.

It was mind-blowing and embarrassing to say the least. Being as proud as I am, it was akin to a death sentence.

Nonetheless, now I am doing very well. And that too has become another story to tell. People don't even believe it now.

My point being, we think it's the end if the world. The story is yet to end, your own story.

You just have to do well this time and the past will become an excellent story to tell.

Just remember not to burn out. Motivation is at its peak in the start, don't overdue on it. Instead make a schedule, even 2 hours a day is fine as long as you have +3months of time before exams.

With that, I wish you Good Fortune. Stay strong and believe in yourself, always.

Remember to learn from your shortcomings. Don't study mindlessly, but qualitatively. It doesn't matter how long you study, but what you study and how you study it.

Maybe try online lectures, there's some for everything. And read online notes. Participate in group studies.

Telling it from experience, I can assure you that failure is not an end. Failure makes you stronger, because if you never fail, you will never become aware of your shortcomings.

Take Thomas Edison's life as an example. His teachers said he was "too stupid to learn anything."

He was fired from his first two jobs for being "non-productive." As an inventor, Edison made 1,000 unsuccessful attempts at inventing the light bulb. The light bulb was an invention with 1,000 steps.


When asked, he said that he did not fail. He just found 1,000 ways that DID NOT work, so never give up hope, my friend. As long as you work for it, you will one day definitely achieve it.

Well, studying without a teacher, or someone to supervise is quite hard, trust me.

Not to mention finding online lectures about what I want is harder because I either want it in Greek, or need to translate it on my head which is way harder.

That said, I have about 11 months in front of me, and even if I study for one hour a day, that's a lot of studying over the course of almost a year.

Also, having graduated from school, I have more time for things that actually interest me as well as for studying.

Not that many actually paid any attention to school on the last year, but still.

True,myself studying is not everyone's cup of tea. You should really get yourself a teacher this time. Maybe there are some tips and tricks for the exams you are giving.

And if your English is good, from what I see, it's good enough, you should have no need to translate. Just learn from it.

I should try being optimistic at least, but not complacent.

You are spot on.

@Tramsloof different terminology which makes it hard to understand the already hard problems.

It isn't something that will make studying easier, learning from different languages.
