University of Cambridge Questions

Hello,

At the moment, I've been predicted to achieve 3 A's at the end of Year 13, and went on to achieve two B grades and a C (2 marks off a B) with very little revision. Subjects I study are English Literature, History and Politics (why I stated this, I'll explain later in this post). Is it realistic to achieve an A* and 2 As at the end of Year 13?

As someone who wishes to apply for History and Modern Languages at the University of Cambridge, and intends to apply in 2020 (spending the time between now whilst I'm still in Year 13 and applying, to save up). Reason why I'm spending 2 years, rather than one, is because even with the student loan and bursary, my mum is in no financial position whatsoever to provide me with additional materials I need, since we are a very low income household.

For the History and Modern languages course, to study a language post A-level, you obviously needed to have studied it at A-level. However, it also says an A-level in a language, even if you're studying one ab initio, is preferable. I, unfortunately, don't have one, and have considered that between now and applying in 2020, would it be worth also getting my knowledge of German and Spanish (both of which I know at intermediate level at the moment) verified in the form of language certificates as evidence of language ability?

Thanks in advance,
Yours,
