Suppose it's just a case of waiting for results then. I do think it can be hard to make a decision regarding uni when you don't know how you did in AS. I want to do psychology, I've known for about 3 years - only thing to think about is which unis to apply to, depending on grades.
Best of luck on results day, and hopefully next year you'll get into your firm choice uni😊
Aaah that's tough. I'm not sure really, unless you're applying to Oxbridge no universities ask for 4 A levels and often the 4th grade will just be ignored. So I'd say your main priority is meeting their requirements because a 4th grade won't compensate not meeting the offer. For example, if the entry requirements are ABB and you achieve ABCC you'd be unlikely to receive an offer. It might be something you'll want to look into further though because idk much about applications to courses other than Medicine I'm studying maths, biology, chemistry and English lit. Think I'm going to drop maths. I always thought I'd drop English lit but I actually enjoy it a bit more than maths
So I'm planning on taking English Literature this year because our school allows us to do both the AS and A level in one year. What is the workload for AS like? I'm planning on studying English and Management at uni.
Have you started writing your personal statements?! Have you even chosen what course you guys wanna pursue?!
I've been mulling it over for a while now.
Now that you mention it that might be a good idea...may as well do something productive this summer hahaha. I could get most of it out of the way before school starts....thanks lol

What exam board is English Literature at your sixth form?
Ive decided that I want to study chemical engineering preferably at Imperial. I've basically finished the first draft of my personal statement but I just need to tweak it a bit

Sorry for the slow reply! To be honest I found it perfectly manageable - really not that much work. Coursework is always a bit hectic so make sure you get it done in good time and you should be alright. Not sure how much extra reading you'll be able to do if doing AS and A2 in one year though so definitely think about that before making your decision. You could probably get away with no extra reading at AS level but I think you'd struggle to get the best grade in A2 without it. Your call though

Aww don't worry about it! Thank you so much for this-let's hope it's manageable. I don't mind extra reading so that's fine. Good luck with everything!
I have started my first draft for my PS. I know I want to do law it is just the case if I will be able to get decent grades in my 4 alevels. 12days 😭😭🙈
Horrible feeling know that - with absolute certainty - I will have to resit 3 exams next year, and that this could have a very big impact on where, even if, I apply to university next year.
I have the opening sentence of my PS...which is rubbish. The problem is that I'm applying for English so I feel like I need to read all the books I'm considering mentioning in my PS beforehand and then pick out links to make between them and think of some clever stuff to write about them
Exactly! I'm going to apply for English literature and philosophy but only have an opening paragraph of my PS as a draft because I have a pile of books I want/need to read before carrying on so I can mention one in more detail ( and I've been quite busy this summer I'm afraid I'll run out of time lmao but hopefully not. I also have to look into my EPQ I'll be starting but I think I know what I'll do at least
