Not really lol, I hate GCSE's and I'd prefer to actually study for A-Levels

Yes that sounds like a great thing to try! Thanks!


No problem! You should get instagram and post your pictures there! :smile:

Ha ha that is how I feel right now. I think it is because I want a 'fresh start'- if you know what I mean?

I am hoping to study Biology, Chemistry, Maths and Economics. I am actually really excited to do Economics because I took Business Studies at GCSE and I have loved it!
Do you think these A levels are hard and what changes have been made?


Well firstly I study biology. chemistry and maths and I am in year 13. So this means I am studying for the second half of my a levels.
I'm sure you've heard some changes such as there being no exams at the end of the first year, they're all at the end of the two years ( year 1& 2 exams inclusive).There also no coursework but you may do some required practicals that arent assessed ( youre very lucky)

you might here from others that the jump between GCSE and year1 is massive... believe them but its not hard to cope and get good grades if you start from day 1. In my chemistry class last year I was the one with the lowest gcse score but still came near the top. Anyone can do it.

one more tip with a levels you become way more independent so no more spoon feeding from teachers. Probably wont care as much but you should.

if you love maths its more easier to cope because youll stay on the problem for longer but its more 'advanced'

This sounds like a really stupid question but I have seen so many people saying what they will do - I really don't know!
I don't just want to watch TV for 12 weeks, and I will get a job but I don't turn 16 until August.
Any suggestions for new hobbies to take up? I really want to spend my time productively and learn something new!
Thank you in advance!


I know this sounds cheesy but maybe make a scrapbook of your summer. I think someone previously said photography so with the pictures you could make a whole book of the memories. That's what I'm going to do. I'm a collector so I'll probably make tonnes of scrapbooks and categorise things like movies, my fav peeps, places to travel etc. This summer's gonna be great :cool::cool:

I have heard they are much harder than gcse's. But surely if you start working from day 1 you should be fine?


Yes you will be absolutely fine if you start from day 1. how early you start isn't the limiting factor. It's how interested you are, and how motivated you are to learn new things!
