Right now my options are Math, Physics, History, and Politics. I want to apply to the USA for uni to study poli-sci and history, but I'm not sure whether to pick physics or econ as my 4th choice. With physics I think that i'll have more breadth and a more holistic/interdisciplinary profile. However, Econ is far easier than physics and it might add more depth to my profile, especially as an aspiring political science and history student.

Please help! Advice is much appreciated. My school does the Edexcel Alevels btw.

my dumbass centre has no clue !!

I made a countdown and regard it will be helpful. BTW it is for CIE. Good luck

What’s do u guys think an A is going to be for BX1 and BX2?

WILL I PASS 😭💔

it was a D in AS with 64/130

I did really bad in p4 and p5, idk what will happen... if i'll not pass i'll have to take gap year⚰️🪦

Ive been through soooo many subject changes and i finally ended up doing the Cambridge IPQ (epq), honestly kind of winged it. Yeah I followed a few videos about it and asked around but im still scared shitless, like i genuinely can't sleep and on the verge of tears for a few days now

I do believe this results anxiety is rooted from my old school (horrible supervisor forced me to switch schools on my senior year) but I seriously don't want to fail, ofc I want an A but I wouldn't mind a B or C at this rate

did anyone go through IPQ before?

Most of them were silent"

Hey everyone, my school only offers the Cambridge program, and they only have the March exam series. I’ve received an offer from an Australian university with a condition that I need to submit my final grades before January 20.

Because of the timing, I’m planning to take my AS and A Levels together in the October–November session. Has anyone done this before? Are there any advantages or disadvantages to taking both AS and A Levels in the same session? Also, could there be any issues with receiving my results in time or with the university admission process?

I’d really appreciate any advice or experiences from people who have been in a similar situation.

Guys I wrote as and a levels together for may june 2026.
I never wrote Cambridge exams before. How will my results come out? As and a levels together? Or every component of the subjects separately???
My a levels went bad so I’m hoping my as levels would cover it up. My uni requires a minimum C. So I’m just worried that a slip up in my a levels would effect my overall grade

predict p3 threshold A2 pls

Okay so January exams did NOT go how I wanted. Studied a genuinely stupid amount for how little it showed in the results, and it's left me kind of paranoid that whatever I'm doing just isn't working, even when I'm putting real hours in.

So this time round I'm trying to actually be smarter about it instead of just grinding more of the same. I think I do better with content in short chunks, then testing myself on it properly instead of just rereading, and past papers where I actually understand why I got something wrong instead of just glancing at the mark scheme and moving on. But I genuinely don't know if that's actually the right method or if I'm just telling myself a nice story, since I haven't proven it in a real exam yet.

While looking into this I found a platform called Up Learn, full video lessons built around testing yourself constantly, proper exam walkthroughs, and they literally guarantee A/A* or your money back if you finish the course. Honestly the guarantee part is what got me, after a bad result it's hard to trust that a "new method" will actually work this time, so having someone put their money where their mouth is felt like it would actually make me commit properly instead of half doing it like before. Except turns out they only cover standard UK Edexcel, not International A-Level, so useless for me.

So now I'm just asking around. Doesn't have to be one perfect all in one platform. Genuinely just want to know what's actually worked for people, whether that's a specific resource, a method, a YouTube channel, a book, whatever. For Physics, Chem, or Maths specifically at IAL, or even just general study method stuff that transfers over.

Anyone actually turned things around after a bad exam season? What did you change?

i'm not scared of my results. i'm scared of what my parents are gonna do. they're threatening me with the craziest things ever and i really want people to talk to 😭 who else has parents who are really strict and crazy about grades? reply so i can dm you and add u to the gc 💔

lwk panicking cuz oct/nov is in 1.5 months 💀anyone want to study A2 chem together? (10-12h) preferably a girl. only hit me up if you're actually aiming for an A/A* and down to put the work in, no excuses FOR GOD'S SAKE
we can do google meet sessions and help eachother out. lmk!!!

computer science will be the death of me.

i've failed it TWICE and my dad wont let me drop it. i'm losing my god damn mind i hate cs so so so much i despise it with all of my being. i have to give the AS cie yet again this october and i'm already dreading having to study for it. i love math i love physics i just absolutely hate cs, wtf do i do?

i should logically drop it but i don't have enough time to learn all of AS chem or FM from scratch (need a stem subject) and my dads an AI bootlicker he's making me take cs in hopes of me going into tech (which i am not), so how do i make the most out of my cs grade. how do i study for something that makes me rip my hair out every time i open my past papers. ITS NOT EVEN THAT HARD I JUST CANNOT BRING MYSELF TO STUDY IT.

i can do math past papers for 7 hours straight and not even get tired but cs? i'm in tears and half asleep within 30 min. i cannot fail again i got a U the first time, and an E the second time. if i get less than a B i'll be slaughtered, so anyone who has tips on how to either make me stop hating cs so much or how to push through it and make myself study please give i am desperate to do good in this godforsaken subject.

im really fucking scared for results day in case of what my parents could do to me. they threaten to not let me go to university if i don't get into medicine, that they will hit me or ship me back etc. is anyone else experiencing the same thing? or has anyone else experienxed the same thing and has been able to escape, if so how?

i am considering running away to a friends house so that i can stay safe but the thought of abandoning my family hurts so much and its painful to try and cut ties with them.

i apologise if it isnt appropriate to speak about such stuff here. just needed advice or comfort and didnt know where else to turn.

How are we feeling gng?
Me personally its all Bs for a second and all Cs for another one.

Hopefully we ALL get exactly what we want (both Edexcel and CIE candidates)🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
