Do you think doing gcses in one school year is impressive?

How come you only took 7 GCSEs? :/

Don't think the fact you did them in one year will be recognized at all if i'm honest

But do you think it will be regarded as a an excuse/reason for not getting all A*s if I were to apply to a competitive university?

Probably not, they'd argue that you're allowed the time so why not use it

I once completed a colouring in book in 24 hours.

Being serious, if you achieve very good AS and A level grades, combined with a fantastic reference and personal statement then you will stand a chance with quite a few good universities. You'll have to work quite a lot harder though.

I know doing gcse's in a year isn't impressive (I just didn't know what other title to give the thread) I just wanted to know whether I can use that as a reason if I applied to a competitive UNI and they asked me about my GCSE grades.
However congratulations on finishing colouring a WHOLE book in 24 hours !!!! Must have been one hella of an achievement !

Thanks and I'm certainly starting college with the mindset of achieving four A's by the end of year 12. I'll be working really really hard for that.
Again thanks for taking time to answer me

I don't know why but I always feel the need to start my reply to one of these posts with a bit of patronising levity. Your was very witty though, it made me laugh! Haha!

If you work hard, achieve excellent grades and such then I don't see how you won't achieve an offer from a very reputable university. I wish you the best of luck

I did 13 gcse in one year...

Congrats on that, when did you do that?
In yr 11 or yr 10
