When you have one hour of bio three frees and then one hour of chem -_- . Also my school hasn't timetabled enough lessons for maths so apparently our class needs to sort it out. -_- -_- .
Wow that is bad what the hell aha that's not your job, stupid schools
Still haven't started my personal statement. And school hasn't even told us predicted grades yet. Apparently our predictions will be our AS grades... is that even fair?!

I personally don't think it is, but I understand why schools use AS grades. I got ACC at AS and I'm pleading for predicted grades A*BB- ABB for my university choices. If you think about it, the experience gained from year twelve SHOULD (theoretically) lead to us developing better studying habits and better work ethic, I think this cancels out the greater difficulty of A2 levels compared to AS!

This does make sense. I got AAAE and want my predicted grade to be A*A*A at least because of how bad that E looks to some unis. I just think it's unfair to use AS grades because it really discourages people to go for the top uni's.

If I'm honest, I agree with either predicting the same or one above for A2. Most people get the same at A2 as they did at AS, that's the thing. It requires a real change in work ethic to improve grade. Not only do you need to learn the A2 content, you need to learn the AS content that you weren't strong on the first time. If I'm honest, some people aren't affected that much by the experience of getting worse grades than expected, thinking it was just a one-off, some people work hard at the start, but then get lazy again, and our teachers have seen it all before, and they rarely see people improve drastically, that's the thing, so you can see why they'd be skeptic...

Not really to be honest :/ My biology teacher's doing the same...
I asked why he wouldn't predict me one up from my AS; all he said was that "I never predict A*'s". I still don't understand but oh well. Just going to try and show him that I could achieve it when results day comes and you should do the same

Yes I see what you mean & I absolutely agree with you. I told the head of my sixth form what I'd like my predictions to be and he said that wouldn't be a problem. Once I get the predictions, and I feel they're not a true reflection of ability, then I'll speak to him again; just have to hope for the best!
Yeah I'm not sure what the A*requirement is for those subs but I'm sure you could still get that. And I heard languages become easier because you have a wider grasp of it. A*AA definitely doable especially with resit in Herman good luck
