Money, work and the big choices, sentence 14

Exams like GCSEs and A levels open doors later, but people who do badly can retake them or find other routes; steady work beats panicking the night before.

Who acts: Exams, steady work · What happens: open, retake, find, beat, panic · To what, where: doors, people, other routes

This is a sentence of the lesson «Money, work and the big choices» of the adult life course of Mova's primary school.
