Zoology 2015

I've got one more exam left, and then we start the a2 courses, but we've also got work experience weeks so we'll only be learning for about two weeks.

I'm glad I've found someone else. I feel like with it being so early not many people would be around haha Manchester does look really good. I'm hoping to apply there but possibly with the year of a work placement. And then I think Exeter, Liverpool, LJMU and Bangor.

How do you feel your AS exams went? I was doing so well on the past papers but completely screwed up the exams Probably going to end up resitting some, especially biology, but hoping to still get a uni offer somewhere this year.

Yeah I'm technically supposed to have work experience week but I'm away on a volunteering trip so I'm thinking about trying to get some work experience in the summer if possible

All of the courses look so good, it's so difficult to decide! I have no idea how I'll get it down to 5.

I probably will end up resitting some AS exams, I'm not 100% sure how biology went, I'm hoping for the bes, as for the others, on the whole it's generally gone well but I am expecting I'll have to do some resits haha, especially in maths

What are you doing on your volunteering trip?

I know, I'm constantly changing my mind on what unis to apply to:') But I think I'm finally settled on those 5.

I feel like biology went the worst which is surprising since it was the one I'm most confident on. I understood all the content, just couldn't do all the data questions AQA launched our way, they're more luck than anything else

I'm hoping on not too many resits haha, but I'll definitely make sure I'm ready for a2, I really want to do zoology. I think the maths went well for me, except for core 2, that wasn't a nice exam!

The volunteering isn't really to do with zoology at all haha, It's just a little something extra to help with my personal statement. Basically between 7 people we've had to raise £4500 to go to Lourdes in France and we've got to assist people with getting around and making sure people are ok and things like that. I think it involves a lot of work with elderly people

I was wondering what exam board you were on, I'm also AQA. It did seem like a strange exam if I'm honest as if most the content didn't even show up, I hate the data questions but I never really know what the marks are for in them, so it could be either way to be honest.

Also core 1 was brilliant and statistics was not too bad but I have to agree with you about the core 2, although everyone found that hard so maybe the grade boundaries would be lowered a bit.

What other subjects do you do? Will you be dropping any subjects?

Aw, that sounds good I'm going to Spain for a week in July to do work experience, but I'm not sure what I'm doing yet, we haven't received the info haha. I think I'm doing hotel or catering work there.

Yeah, that's why I was so annoyed. I knew all the content, worked so hard to understand it over the year and got hardly any questions on it. Data is such a weak point of mine

Core 1 was a great exam, I agree there! Decision maths was brilliant so at least those two will make sure core 2 doesn't pull the grade down. Aiming for a B in maths this year, would've aimed for an A if core 2 was decent haha.

I do maths and biology as you already know, then chemistry which I think I should hopefully get a B, but possibly a C in and Spanish. I didn't do brilliantly in Spanish, I'll be over the moon if I get a C :') I'm dropping Spanish though. What about you?

I'm aiming for an A/B in ICT and probably a B in biology and maths and a C in English so I'm hoping for the best.

Aw, that's good

I'm trying to hope for the best, I just keep getting stressed about it But just going to forget about it for now, I have up until august before grades become an issue anyway

What kind of things are you doing for work experience? I'm currently trying to find some volunteer work/ work experience related to zoology.

I'm hoping to do Zoology in 2015. Just hoping my AS results are good enough. Most likely will have to resit some :/ Looking at doing zoology as Exeter, Reading, Bangor and Aberystwyth (so far. Probs end up changing my mind). My other choice is Animal Science (companion and wild) at Writtle college.

How did everybody's results go?

I decided to post on here after results if they were okay because I want to apply for Zoology at Exeter, Leeds, Derby and Reading

My results definitely weren't great but hopefully should be okay for applying!
