I don't know if this is the right place to talk about this but I want to know how to find/apply for work experience because even though our work experience is in July, a lot of my friends have already sorted theirs out and they said that places run out quite quickly. I want to do something software engineering/comp sci related but don't know exactly where to find that stuff.

Hello everyone,
My name is Emmanuella from London going into Year 13 this September 2023, but I have made this thread because I have sat GCSEs before - so i promise most of the feelings and worries you have I would've also had during Year 10! but we are here to support and uplift each other during this year of secondary education - you can do this okay?!
here are a few icebreaker questions to introduce yourself:
1) name and where you are from
2) what subjects you are taking at GCSE
3) the grades you are hoping to get in Year 11
4) the latest netflix show/movie you've watched
5) your go-to positive/motivational quote or affirmation

Hiii!! My name's Isabella and I'm from London
For GCSE I'm taking:
- English lang
- English lit
- Maths
- Biology, Chemistry, and Physics (triple or double science is decided at the start of Y11 in my school)
- R.E
- Geography
- Spanish
- Art
In Y11 I'm obviously hoping to get all 8s and 9s but I'll be happy as long as they're all 7+
I'm watching Brooklyn 99 on Netflix but I'm more actively watching The Summer I Turned Pretty on Prime Video and I recommend it so much!!
Finally, a motivational quote is, "Living is the art of getting used to what we didn't expect" - Eleanor C. Wood

Hi, I hope it’s alright if I join in lol. My name’s Maia and I’m from the South East!
I’m taking…
English language
English literature
Mathematics
Combined Science
History
German
It’s a bit less than other people but I’m homeschooled so it all costs quite a bit per subject. I’m hoping for 8s and 9s in Year 11 but we’ll see!
Uhh, latest show I watched on Netflix was infamy but I’m not rlly sure how I feel about it. I was confused by the bit with Tagar towards the end but I couldn’t find anything online abt it lol
I’m not sure what my favourite quote is tbh! But I just try to remember that you’ll always get there in the end — it probably won’t be exactly how you wanted things to go but you *will* get there. It just takes time

Hi I'm Weronika.I live in Cheshire (By the boarder of Wales). I started year 10 and i chose 4 GCSE subjects which are : Spanish, Music , Small animal care and Geography . Obviously you have to do English Literature and language with all of the science and Maths (Which i am doing a higher one). I'm hoping that ill get 6-9 in my Exams Plus i am doing a Polish GCSE in my school since i Speak it at home with my family. The quote i like to use on a Monday morning is "Wake up and try to have fun which will speed the day up and if your having fun then the weekend will come by faster".

This is very useful . Thank you.
no problem!
It means that life isn't something that naturally happens and so you can't control, you can design your life through your own decisions, almost like art. The science part of life makes it exist but it's your choices and actions that make it worth living (sort of like art?!)

How is everyone getting on so far this year?
Things have been pretty good for me so far…Had a parents eve last week and I’m currently working at 8 or 9 for most things and 7 for a couple which I’m trying to push up so I’m pleased so far. No official cpg (current progress grades) until December when we have done more assessments etc.
Trying to make sure I make all my notes as I work through each topic so I do them while things are fresh in my mind. Then when I come to revisit or revise I can condense them.
Also trying to make sure I still do stuff with my friends and play as much footy as I can. Time management is making it possible but life feels rather regimented at present. I’d rather that though than chaotic stress of work or missing out on seeing friends!

I'm not doing so bad, I'm on top of all the things I'm studying and I'm pretty happy with my progress in exams so far. I'm making an effort to do things outside of just academics like the dofe award, so I'm doing that too.
For us, our cpg comes out sometime during December too because by that time teachers would have a good idea of progress and what grades we are expected to have.
