I've been to visit one university which was Bristol as I thought of applying there and after my trip I decided it wasn't the right place for me. Once I start getting my offers I will go to the top 3 unis I would like to go to before making my firm and insurance choice. I wouldn't say you have to rush with open days but they are quite a good experience because you get to attend taster lectures which can give you some sort of idea whether you will be able to survive that course for 3 or even 4 years.

Volunteering is a bunch of bull in all honesty unless you want to be a nurse which you don't sooo its best if you get a work placement instead lol
Oh, right, yh that sounds good :smile:

And well if I go to lectures now, it's highly likely that I'll say I won't be able to survive given that it's hard for me to cope with A levels, no? :P

Really? Why do you say that? Won't the unis think that he did it coz he enjoyed it instead of for the money? :P

Well if yourvolunteering experience will be useful for your PS then that's fair enough but I know so many people who done volunteering and it added no value to their personal statement. So just make sure not to waste your time.

Good luck to you❤️
HEY OP! I failed too! But I'm redoing year 12 again instead of year 13. I was very naive last year about revision, work and the difficulty in A levels in general. I am en route to get three A's this year so I am smashing out papers like no tomorrow. :P

Economics requires quite a bit of maths at degree level, make sure you brush up lol!

I thought Maths was compulsory for an Economics degree :dontknow:

Maybe they have a point. But my god, talk about being blunt.

Ah never knew, I thought it got really maths heavy at Uni. Yeah that was my point. He could have explained it better.

Wierdly enough the people in my year that didn't do Unit 3 Chem ended up getting U's in AS Chemistry. Obvs, that wouldn't be a reason to tell people not to take A-level Chem.

No, second year of A-levels. Have you changed subjects or kept the same ones?

I'm not doing pure econ. I'm doing politics with economics or economics politics and public policy. All the unis I'm applying to such as Exeter only require an A in GCSE maths. The only reason I failed maths and the entire year was because I was too relaxed and thought I wouldn't need revision. I'm not saying I'm a maths genius but I'm defiantly capable of learning it once I put my mind to it.
