X factor audition about a month before exams?

Someone I know is doing it, I say go for it.

What subjects do you do?

Also, audition won't take up all your time, just some days. Can always revise while waiting.

Ive never auditioned and I can't sing to save my life but I would say why not! You can revise and during revision breaks sing your heart out!! Good luck BUT imo x factor, Britain's got Talent and shows like that are a fix. If you don't get through its not necessarily because you're not good enough.
If you still work hard you'll get the good grades, the singing as a hobby and if something comes of it GREAT!!
Good Luck. Hope I've answered your question

If you were nervous about auditioning then it might get in the way. What about if you get through to the next stage and whatever happens next clashes with your exams? Getting a "yes" at the audition (which isn't always in front of the judges, sometimes you have to see producers first) is only the start - very, very few people make it to the live shows, and even then most of them you'll never hear of again - often this includes the winner!

That being said, it would be an experience. It's up to you. Are you struggling with your A Level subjects or are you finding them quite straightforward? If you need to work I'd say maybe audition next year or something.. but who am I to get in the way of true talent!

A much better way would be to post a video of you singing on here and I will give you my honest opinion. It doesn't just matter if you're a good singer, it's about your personality. And if your dog has just died all the better.

This question is going to look very silly on here, seen as i'm sure most people don't debate this notion weeks before sitting AS levels :/
So, I love singing more than anything. I write songs too, around 50 so far. I'm not going to blow my own trumpet, but I'm good at it. But so are a high amount of people and I know that my dreams are really unrealistic and that I should grow up and focus on my studies. However, I can't do this as I feel I have to have some sort of crack at it.

I have applied for the next season of The X Factor, purely because I think it's a good, quick way of seeing if I am good enough. Don't get me wrong, I have been studying hard for exams, I am determined to get the best grades I can. However, I just wondered if anyone had any opinions on it, like would auditioning a few weeks before exams hinder my chances of good grades? Has anyone else on here auditioned? And just generally feel free to tell me if I am a deluded idiot or not?! Haha Thanks to anyone who answers

Sensible hat on here:

The X-factor will still be around in years to come. You have one decent crack at your exams. Just smash your exams, get good grades and progress the normal way through life and leave your singing career at least another year, otherwise you could end up with no singing and poor A Levels.

Miss maybe 1/2 a day of revision and all of a sudden you end up with 'poor a levels'. Hmmm.

That's only assuming the OP doesn't pass the audition and only spends half a day practicing for said audition.

You also assume the person will prioritise practicing over studying. Which if you read the original post seems less likely. Even then so, 1 - 2 hours will hardly cause major detrimental damage. It can be seen as using 'break time' as 'singing time'.

I don't know when they do all that second round stuff, so i can't make a full informed opinion on it. But many students miss fragments and/or the whole of the June/July A2 part of year 12.
