Current Year 12 Thread Mark V

I really feel for all the people who've not done as well as they hoped
So glad all you thread people are fine

I do. It's just everyone wants to do medicine.

I'm taking STEP next year and I'm not doing AEA nor is anyone else.

I do. It's just everyone wants to do medicine.

Ahhh. We have lots of medics at my college, but we have lots of mathematicians too. I suppose for maths you either are gifted at maths or you're not and you can't learn mathematical creativity, whereas medicine is a combined effort of several subjects.

Just seen your sig - are you going to the Oxford law taster day next week?

Were as medicine you can b**sh*t at interview

Ahhhhh yeaaaah ;D

Unless you apply to Cambridge for med, in which case the interview is disgustingly tough -_-'

I was so happy today, until my maths teacher laughed at me because of my c2 mark. Damnit I'm never going to live that down now.

Also, anyone else's entire year seem to fail at least one exam? So many Us... So many crying friends... Today was depressing.

We (the year 12s) didn't take any January exams but I spoke to a couple of people in the year above, and one of them was really disappointed with 90 UMS in FP1 since he only lost three marks! I guess I'd be quite pissed off as well if the grade boundaries were so high when I took my exams.

Yeah the fp1 'a' boundary was retarded (69ish) I think my S1 boundary was around 66, which is also pretty high. Luckily they are both AS modules.

You aren't doing any January exams? Doesn't that leave you with like ~10 exams this summer? :/ I didn't enjoy procrastinating over Christmas particularly much but I'm grateful for having 2 chances at some of my as modules.

I have nine maths exams including AEA, and a further three in other subjects. I'm not too fussed about it because it gives me more time to revise and since the later modules build upon the earlier ones, it'll be less to revise overall and I'll be more prepared for the exams. I don't think I'd be very keen on doing retakes, so I don't really see that as an advantage either. Are you planning to retake anything?

Well you do seem to be on top of your work the way you talk about "building" suggests to me you're doing quite a number of maths modules, I approve of your A levels this is the case!

I won't resit anything. My lowest mark was 118/120 (Biol), which was ok considering my teacher predicted me a C

Edit: Are you doing any extra work for the AEA? My teacher says "it's a doddle", although I haven't decided if I'm sitting it yet.

Too implying it was for you? There were a few tears I saw around today.

How were your results coco?

Daaamn... which ones?

Well, I have twelve.

Not compared to everyone else. But not exactly happy about it, after performing consistent As, working my arse off, "beasting" the mocks I then come out with a C, so yes there's some frustration. The thing is though out of the three others who've worked like that too, only one got a C there too, the others got less and these aren't really slackers.

The mood was not great through Thursday. Tried to have a nice night instead with some friends so it improved, and a good enough chat with another who's at uni had a nice talk with me and gave a sound perspective and words. She says exam pressure, amongst other things. I hope that's all it was.

How were yours though? Good I hope?

Are you going to get your paper back to have a look at/get it remarked or reviewed?
In summer you really will beast
Mine, pretty much the same as yours. Got a B and teachers and tutor were all like but I've got more health issues so that's not exactly top of my mind at the moment. Which reminds me, Y U ON TSR IN MIDDLE OF DAY?
