That's seriously the worst mix for me. I'd do extremely well, but I love my humanities and social sciences. *extremely well meaning, I don't do anything but dedicate hours on end studying them*

The only thing I'm sure I'll definitely want to do is Literature.

AQA.
It was just so boring, not the type of subject for me lol. Plus it isn't worth it at all considering it's non-facilitating :laugh:

I've always found it relatively easy really. I might go with that too. But it would be with WJEC. 😓

You are doing conventional ish… Shouldn't be hard. 😋

What other courses did you take on board along with it? Surely you enjoyed those? Business would be quite nice to do so not to stress about failure to be fair. :colone:

I did sociology and film studies (love both so much). I wanted to do English language or chemistry ontop but it was too late and it wouldn't work with my college timetable -_-
Haha, imo it's much harder than people say, I wouldn't categorise it as a soft subject but compared to STEM, obviously it's pipsqueak.

Ooo, what exam board was sociology for you?

I feel like I'm gearing towards Literature, P&E, and Sociology. Just not sure about my last one. 😅

Regret doing maths, used to be my favourite but now I hate it and all the other subjects 😂😂

It was also AQA :smile:
Aw that's a nice selection, have you thought about what you would like to study at uni? Tbh you need to enjoy the subjects that you choose, otherwise revision and classes are x10 more stressful :lol: so hopefully your next choice is also something you like

I'm not even sure if I want to go to Uni, aha. 😁 (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/education/educationnews/10578118/Graduates-earning-less-than-those-on-apprenticeships.html)

I don't mean to be a thorn in your flesh, but do you perhaps have any notes or resources? I could really do with some.

Oh lol those articles are so worrying :nervous: like 3 years of uni and getting a job that doesn't require a degree or something 😭 apprenticeships do look good tbh, i don't see why many people don't do it :L everyone just runs for A levels as if it's the only option
Oh no it's fine :') I have a lot of A2 stuff since I did that just this year, I don't have my AS stuff anymore :[ sorry x

doing AS and A2 maths in one sitting together, I could have easily got A* or an A. expecting a C. Studied As and A2 in nine months only :frown:
