    Hi, I'm Australian :c
    Awkward moment when you only realise after you sign up that this site is for, like, UK students. Oh well, most of the stuff still looks pretty relevant! Dont hate me cuz I'm Aussie :3

    Anyway, hiyah, I'm Ruby, I'm in my last year of high school and I live in Western Australia! Keen to get out of this joint, WA is boring; hopefully going to Melbourne U next year as long as I get the ATAR, and go for a career in science woo!

    I do maths 3A/B, biology, lit, art, and then 2 random non-TEE to fill my timetable! I love long walks on the beach and romantic candle-lit dinners hehe

    Hit me up, I'd love to chat to you UK kiddies about legit anything at all; I've always wanted to travel Europe, so like, talk to me, and yeah, your accents are cool.

    SO COOL. GIVE ME YOUR ACCENTS.

    There are many people on here that aren't from Britain . . . although many of them are either looking to come to british unis or are doing British gcses/a levels abroad. That's why the study help forums are mainly for gcses/ a levels. A-levels are what we study to get into uni, when we're 16-18. Most people end up with 3 or 4 a-levels. So if you do need study help, then posting them in the sixth form/ a-level section under the relevant subject should mean that one of us should know the answer.

    I don't like my accent. I'm from The east coast, but it's not really northern or southern. My northern family think i sound like a southerner, my friend from the south coast thinks I talk like a northerner and my nan from the midlands thinks I talk like a farmer!

    I'm 18 and studying biology, chemistry, geography and psychology. I'm hoping to do something like marine biology or oceanography at uni. Going to the great barrier reef would be amazing.

    I assumed it was for UK kids, due to all the A-Level and GCSES and everything! Over here we have an ATAR score, not A-Levels, which is what we use to get to university, its like, an average of your 4 best scores from the exams + weighting!

    I was considering marine bio too, woooh! Now I'm more looking into zoology though, maybe double major in conservation? Marine biology looks like too hard a field to get anywhere in for me! And you'd better visit the reef soon, our government are stinges and wont put the money into protecting the reef, so its slowly dying :c

    I'm sure your accent is lovely either way, I just adore every accent except Australian eheheh!
