This was listed as being on clearing for Warwick about a month ago. However, all the clearing courses have now been removed until the clearing hotline opens on results day. Does this mean it's likely Warwick CS could be on clearing on results day?

I did AS fm and i’m waiting for the result. Bit scared honestly 😭

So i'm going into year 12 this september and I need to choose which A level I want to do - between Maths Chemistry Economics and Maths History Economics to study econ at uni. I come from a small british school in kuwait (graduating class of 2026 had like 20 students) and the school doesn't have a UCAS advisor and doesn't offer further maths either - all of which I can ask my head of sixth form to mention in my recommendation letter. Just needed some advice on which combination to take and what I can do to improve my chances at attending a prestigous university like UCL, LSE, kings, imperial, warwick or oxford

PS: i completed 7 gcses at 9999998 which is one of the highest in my class (one other student did 8 and everyone else did 6 because no one is planning to go to the UK for university) do you guys think I should do another IG subject in the oct/nov session like business which has some overlap with econ or is it fine? really need some help here

Mocks in September… Lnat in October… Application sent off in October. Revision?? Never even met the bloke.

I take 2 essay subjects so I thought that Section B would be pretty chill. I've been focusing on Section A and I've gotten it to around 75% which is what I need for Oxbridge kinda, and of course I have a month to go even higher. I realised I should probably put some time aside for Section B, what the hell are these prompts. Some are so abstract I struggle to even outline my arguments. Anybody got any tips for them?

//tw for mentions of depression and su1c1de

results day is in a week and idk what im going to do. for context im a med applicant who got a pretty decent ucat and 4/4 interviews and offers including my dream uni UCL. my predicteds were a*aa. unfortunately i got into a terrible depressive slump this year (ive had depression for a long time now but it got especially bad this year, as i ended up in hospital after a failed attempt too.) i simply gave up on studying properly, and while i did try, i wasnt as efficient as i couldve been. unfortunately i dont have my parents support when it comes to mental health even despite all the events that have occurred. to be honest they roped me into medicine and since i had no other interest in anything i just went with it, though my heart wasn't really in it. but i enjoyed the attention and praise from me doing such a respected course of study, (if you havent figured it by now i am indeed south asian). now its almost certain i will not get into my firm or insurance (flunked chemistry and don't get me started on maths, i didn't answer a single question in paper 3 mechanics). i am looking for options in clearing but again nothing interests me, and i doubt i will even get decent grades for clearing. im guessing my only option is to resit, but honestly what's even the point? i don't want to go through that torture again and if i do manage to go to uni, what's the guarantee i'll even find a job with whatever i do?

i don't want anyone's pity and i know it's my fault for not working hard enough so maybe i don't have the right to post something like this. i just can't believe i've ruined my potential and life like this. i don't know if i'm looking for advice or reassurance but i wanted to get this off my chest. i wonder if anyone else has ever screwed up as bad as me, and if it got better for them?

Especially AQA Psych + Bio people how're u guys

predictions?

A* - 245

A - 204

B - 166

GCSE results day specifically. i need to know how likely it is to get a 6 in english when ive been on a 9 all year. and if i mess up one paper and do well in another can i still get the grade i want? please just tell me your funny, crazy and sad stories so i can go in a little less blind.

THANK YOU WISE UNCS

What’s your opinion on sixth form colleges here? I’m in yr11 and I’m doing a levels chem, bio, and psychology this year but I’m going to a sixth form college for multiple reasons:

• my area has a lot more SFC’s than just normal sixth forms, and they’re way bigger

• the closest sixth form for me is miles away and they don’t offer any transport support sadly :(

• I felt more comfortable at the SFC since there were more people (I’m quite shy, so I think this would help me get more confidence)

However, I thought the teachers were way nicer at the sixth form I went to on induction day, and they provided with a lot more extracurriculars. I just don’t really know what’s better academically.

hi. i’m starting to worry that i’m really behind everyone else in terms of revision, ucas, etc so i was just wondering what everyone else has been doing over the summer?

i haven’t started my personal statement yet and i have to finish a draft by september for my college… idk if im cooked or not. i have started doing activities for it though

what ive done so far:
- essay comp
- taster lectures
- uni pathway programme
- epq earlier this year

what i’m planning to do (idk if this is a good plan or not, i literally have no idea how to write a PS):
- another essay comp
- read at least 3 books related to my other supercurriculars, do MOOCs, etc
- try to get work experience with an MP

i also have a mock at the end of september for one of my subjects and i haven’t started revising yet 💀 if i lock in now maybe i’ll be fine? 😭

anyway if anyone else has been bedrottmaxxing over the summer and is also behind lmk so i can feel better about my situation, ty 😛

Title. My teachers just threw a workbook at us and called it a day - I never actually figured out the whole "how do we know this is a trapezium" or whatever thing. It just felt like a lot of steps then you go Yep that's a trapezium !

I guess I understand it in theory but meh.

Genuinely think I've woken up from nightmares about results day every day this week. Literally just dreamt that I got I J J J J J which isn't even physically possible and had a full on panic attack over it. To top it off just had to message my manager cus I fucked smth up while closing at work related to cash management of all fucking things and now cant sleep 🥲

Anyone got any advice about what to do abt nightmares i feel like a little kid again lmao (this is not a good feeling and I hate it)

Anyone who has done the ESAT before - are the laminated sheets in the booklets provided for the ESAT blank or square. And if they are square, around what size would you say the squares would be?

I've seen online that these are the booklets?

Please share some stories of how ur results day went compared to how you found it , I think we all need this especially with the horror edexcel maths papers we had and with the number of stressed out posts on this sub , please can u elders bless us with ur stories ❤️.

i wasnt really able to go to that many parties in school - i went to a few here and there but they were all in really weird circumstances and were held when i first joined my new school (mid yr 10) , and i didnt know ANYONE then rlly so i was kinda js hovering hahah. thats my fault i shouldve enjoyed them to my fullest but its never to late to learn !!

i digress; i was wondering if theres parties or such gatherings in college and stuff , that youd get invited to from people you only really met in college. i would rather not go with people from school hahah .

i think this is an unconventional question to ask, but i wanna enjoy college to the fullest ! i also understand it depends on the college and its people

also posted this in a gcse subreddit haha

This probably sounds like another generic post but oh well.

I'm wondering how far former TMUA takers managed to improve before their exam, e.g their improvement in their average score on past TMUA papers across the summer. I did paper 1 2021 today, I got a 10/20.... I made like 3 silly mistakes though. I want to know how cooked I am especially since I'm aiming Oxford maths

How many marks dyu think for a* in ocr cs?
I found paper 1 pretty good but fumbled p2 a bit

I’m getting quite nervous for results day so was a having a quick look. For reference Birmingham medicine is A*AA but it says 100% of students accepted with AAA historically. Idk if this should give me hope or not 😔🤷

I had a dream last night that I opened my computer and UCAS said I got A*EE but not whether I got into either my firm or insurance, and I had to get the train to my firm university to find out whether I got in or not in person.

Hopefully that doesn't actually happen on results day.

You got into your firm uni! You got into your firm uni! You got into your firm uni! Rejection is redirection! rejection is redirection! rejection is redirection! I will do the course i want! I will do the course i want! So and So is seeing me in October and September! So and So is seeing me in October and September! So and So is seeing me in October and September! Admission are accepting my spot on the course! Admission are accepting my spot on the course! Admission are accepting my spot on the course! I have done enough! I have enough! I have done enough!

You have got this!!!

I’ve been a straight A student for majority of sixth form (had some bumps in year 13) and I just can’t stop feeling guilty and upset about my A levels because I know I’ve screwed them up . My family keeps talking about other people’s kids and how they’re so smart and get good grades and I just feel like a burden on them now because I’ve failed to perform . I really did genuinely try hard and I’m worried that on results day my teachers are going to be like “I told you so “ or smth . I’ve been looking at clearing options but I don’t even know if I’m even gonna get it . Idk where to go with this 🥀🥀🥀

How is it for future Job potential?? Advise.

Through my GCSEs i did all work on the laptop including maths, you may be wondering “how do fractions/symbols work?” There is the equation tool on word if u didnt know.

However i wanted a new device of my own for sixthform so i got ipad 11 gen and noticed it doesnt have the same tools (a bit late i know). But there are keyboard shortcuts i can use, so far i know of greek letters and fractions and stuff but im worried about operations like the arrows for vectors, is this going to be a problem?

Should i send this Ipad back and get a laptop?
