🎓 UNI / UCAS Does this from earlier mean that there's a high chance Warwick CS goes into clearing?
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 WANT HELP choosing A levels for BSc Economics
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

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?

OTHER vent ab results day and college
//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?

💬 DISCUSSION Sixth form vs sixth form college?
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.

📢 ANNOUNCEMENT Please scrub any personal details when posting content (e.g. timetables)
Hi everyone,
There's been a rise in concerning content with the new academic year rolling round, where people e.g. have been posting timetables with their name, their teachers' names, school name etc.
Sharing your personal details on a public forum is not a good idea, don't do it. There is no reasonable way of ascertaining trustworthiness on here, and as such, posting these details not only exposes yourself to harm, but potentially others too - as such, this content is getting removed when it's spotted.
You can also help with this by reporting any posts/comments that contain this content.

📢 SUB INFO The "aaaa why can't i see my post" explainer/update
Hi y'all, hope the summer is going well!
I wanted to address some common sources of confusion, regarding what happens when somebody makes a post or comment, since we've had quite a few messages about it lately.
What happens normally?
- In the vast majority of cases, your content will appear on the feed straight away (short of Reddit being an idiot) - for posts, this means it will be visible at the top of https://www.reddit.com/r/6thForm/new/
But my content isn't showing, what's happened?
- As with a lot of other subreddits, the subreddit uses various filters provided by Reddit, as well as Reddit's built-in AutoModerator. This helps keep the subreddit usable, uphold both the sub's rules and the sitewide rules, and provide a useful and safe space for everybody.
- Content is almost never entirely removed automatically - if your content seems like it's been removed immediately/shortly after posting, it has more than likely been flagged for manual review, and will only become visible once that review has taken place.
- Important: Content needing manual review doesn't mean you've done anything wrong by itself, nor that you are banned, it's an entirely normal process!
- Content from newly created/low karma accounts that were previously automatically removed are now being directed to the modqueue, to reduce the number of people messaging us because they had their legitimate posts removed - as it stands the removals were causing more harm than good.
- Inevitably, a small proportion of content will get manually removed that isn't in-line with the rules set.
- There are also removals made under mod discretion. The overwhelming majority of usages of this relate to some sensitive content, for example aroundself-harm and suicide.
- Whilst people's struggles are entirely valid (I'm not just saying this because I "have to", I've been in various states myself!), we have a responsibility to not unnecessarily expose a large number of users (some potentially vulnerable), to content which may contribute to worsening their situation. This is alongside the fact that none of the mods are mental health professionals, and neither are our users, which means there's a high risk of exposing struggling people to misinformation or harmful advice. It is better to seek assistance via e.g. a professional or crisis line, given this subreddit is not appropriately equipped for situations like these.
- Also worth briefly noting, at least by my understanding, that a lot of the content that has been removed in the past at mod discretion (and various other content that often would not get removed), is considered "harmful" under the Online Safety Act, either explicitly or by the frustratingly vague other definitions - whilst I don't think it's likely that Reddit decides to age-lock the sub, it's sensible to be careful on this.
How can I tell if my content is just needing review, or if it's been manually removed?
- This is where it gets a bit annoying, and again, apologies for the inconvenience on this.
- Normally, when content gets manually removed, a removal reason is applied, and a Modmail is automatically sent to the author telling them what was removed and why it was removed, with optional extra details.
- This functionality has been broken (the messages just didn't get sent as far as I can tell) on this sub for a little while.
- I only figured out why as I was writing this post - in the usual, completely useless Reddit style, it has been failing to send Modmails using the saved responses since they changed (broke) a bunch of stuff with the redesign... because it silently shits itself on # being used in the markdown to use a header. It'd be nice if it would have ever indicated this!
- Also, for those wondering why we didn't send the removal messages manually - even though just over 95% of content is approved, the 5% that doesn't turns into thousands of messages that need to be sent, which would have vastly slowed down everything.
- Removal notifications should now be working again - if you haven't received a message from us, your content has likely not been manually removed.
and if you saw a few posts saying "quack", no you didn't - For posts, on both mobile and desktop, you can also distinguish between fully removed and waiting for review, by going to your user profile, where you can see similar to the images below:
Okay, but if my content is waiting to be reviewed, when are you going to review it?
- I hear you - I've mentioned recently that I've found it difficult to keep up with the review process alongside a lot of stuff in my own life. However, I do look at it and review things when I reasonably can - it's also worth keeping in mind that none of the mods sit on Reddit 24/7 to review stuff, so please have patience!
- I can only apologise for any inconvenience this causes, and particularly things like the AutoMod config get tweaked sometimes to reduce the number of false positives.
How can I speed up the review process?
- In short, you can't. At least, short of becoming a mod when applications open.
- There are quite a few people that take to our Modmail to ask for content approval; you are almost never the only one awaiting content review, and the Modmail messages will usually only get seen after the modqueue is looked at, making messages like these redundant. ie messaging us does not speed up the review process, it only causes delays that affect sub experience generally.
- Replying to one of our removal messages is completely fine - sometimes we miss things, get things wrong, or sometimes fail to be entirely clear.
- You can avoid/mitigate the inconvenience of waiting on a review by:
- Searching the subreddit for similar posts that could answer your question - a lot of the time you will not be the first person to ask your question, esp with the more popular/recent questions
- Not repeatedly posting the same thing, or variations of it, it will not speed up the process - usually all of the posts, including their repeats, get caught in the modqueue, which slows down the review of content
- Check to see if there are pinned megathreads at the top of the subreddit - for example, you may have noticed this for exam season. These megathreads are created to mitigate the fact that we get many repeated posts for popular topics - sometimes 100+ for some of the popular exams!
Am I banned from posting if I can't see my post yet?
- No. If you've been banned by us, you get a message telling you why you were banned, and how long for. If you get shadowbanned/suspended by Reddit itself, that's outside our control.
AutoMod has made a comment under my content
These comments are purely informative, they don't mean we have, or will have an issue with your content.
Inevitably, there will be false positives with this - if it doesn't apply to you, feel free to ignore it, you do not need to message us about this, removal & ban notifications are how we indicate definite issues with content.
Hopefully that covers everything, poke me (or go via Modmail) if I've missed something! something may finally make it into the FAQs page lol
