i dont know if i can be a vet
I'm 14 nearly 15 and i just realised that i want to be a vet but i pick the wrong options ...i think. My options I do are maths , English literature, English language, science bio and science chem, business studies, computer science and hospitality and catering. But from year 7 to year 9 i'm not that very bright i don't really do well in maths or science i do try but i just don't seem to get it and my grades are not that good. And i don't really have a lot of money but i do want to be a vet i just don't think i can.Can anyone help me and come up with ways i can revise cause with siblings and electronics i get very distracted easily as well.

I presume you're based in the UK and you intend to study a degree and work in the UK. If this is not correct, then please clarify as this can be difficult to advise or help if you don't.
i just realised that i want to be a vet but i pick the wrong options
The following are job profiles on becoming a vet:
https://nationalcareers.service.gov.uk/job-profiles/vet
https://www.prospects.ac.uk/job-profiles/veterinary-surgeon
https://www.careerpilot.org.uk/job-sectors/animal/job-profile/vet
In each case, you need a veterinary degree approved by the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS).
In order to get such a degree, you would need to do Biology and Chemistry at A Level + one other A Level subject (doesn't need to be maths or physics as far as I know), all at high grades (at least As usually).
There is no specific GCSEs you need in order to get into the degree, but some 6th form colleges might be a bit picky about your GCSEs although the key ones are English Language and Maths with Biology and Chemistry/Sciences being a possible issue if they are really picky for A Level Biology and A Level Chemistry. As you have these GCSE subjects, you should be fine.
For uni puroposes, you would want to meet the English Language and Maths grades at GCSE for their degrees. You would also ideally have high GCSE grades to set a good impression for your UCAS application, since they will be used as evidence of your predicted grades for A Level if you haven't achieved them yet. If you have your A Level grades, they will be used instead of your GCSE grades.
You should also note, there are only 9 institutions that offer the approved RCVS degrees:
•
Aberystwyth University
•
Royal Veterinary College, University of London
•
University of Bristol
•
University of Cambridge
•
University of Edinburgh
•
University of Glasgow
•
University of Liverpool
•
University of Nottingham
•
University of Surrey
Anything I have stated above is irrelevant if the entry requirements in the RVCS degrees (e.g. vetinary surgery, vetinary science) at these universities and college state something different. What the entry requirements state takes precedence over any of the above.
But from year 7 to year 9 i'm not that very bright i don't really do well in maths or science i do try but i just don't seem to get it and my grades are not that good.
I don't know what to recommend regarding this. However, they do say that grit/perseverence and hard work tend to trump any intellectual advantage over time. If you study smart and work hard, you should be fine. However, I don't know enough about your specific circumstances (nor am I a qualified educator) to make any firm suggestions.
i don't really have a lot of money
If this is in regards to funding your UK degree:
If you are a UK national and you are eligible for funding through Student Finance, you should be able to get student loans for your 5 year vet degree, as with any UK student would. If you are an international student, you should look at your funding options from your domestic government, as some offer full grants and funding.
If this is in regards to general study e.g. GCSE and A Levels:
If you are a UK national and eligible for funding through Student Finance, your courses should be fully funded by the government for your courses. Any supplementary material that you want or need on top shouldn't cost extravagant amounts e.g. anything above £200 i.e. they are usually affordable.
If you are an international student, then you might check your funding option from your domestic country and government.
come up with ways i can revise
Hav you looked on YouTube and Google for resources? There are usually plenty of free resources online for revision. Most would tell you to go through past papers. These tend to be effective for anything that involves a lot of facts and maths e.g. sciences, maths, computer science. The essay based subjects would require you to have excellent writing skills. See the following for example:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUxv3nPsCxo
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0SchpNJ8Yww
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9eQKxdMZbzk

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9P82piwfgqI
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xixtNJizc0A
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGE-heDhIMw
There are more and the above are just from the first page of Google.
If you have specific issues with a specific subject e.g. maths, then you would need to be a lot more specific about your search enquiry:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJEkjuN9qJ4
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5RwbT5D6sh8
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f4Pa9hYX7rg
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PBRrL8Bhdlg
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8yC4bBYyos
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wb8ZyXl_nps
Typically, your exam board's websites would host all the available past papers for all of your subjects, but you can also try the following for example:
https://revisionworld.com/gcse-revision/gcse-exam-past-papers
https://www.mathsgenie.co.uk/papers.html
https://mmerevise.co.uk/all-past-papers/
https://revisionmaths.com/gcse-maths/gcse-maths-past-papers
https://revisionscience.com/gcse-revision/gcse-exam-past-papers
https://www.physicsandmathstutor.com/past-papers/
https://studymind.co.uk/resources/
https://www.edplace.com/gcse-revision/practice-papers
https://www.revisionbuddies.com/gcse-past-papers/
https://www.cgpbooks.co.uk/secondary-books/gcse/gcse-practice-papers
There are plenty of other websites, as well as those recommended in the above videos, so you can take your time finding them.
Unless you're specific about any issues that you have (with a lot more detail) then I can only give you general advice.

Hi,
I would suggest going to speak to a careers advisor about your options first, as they will be able to give the best advice. I am currently studying Animal Behaviour, Welfare and Conservational Science and I have some science/math modules like genetics and anatomy and physiology. I also struggle with those subjects and found those modules hard, but the other subjects are varied so I found that helped. I would think long and hard about whether you really want to do it because vet medicine will be completely science/math based. That being said, if your put your mind to it and you can do anything, if you are willing to work really hard. I know vet schools are quite picky with who they allow in, because its really full on. Have you looked at vet med course entry requirement and what the modules are, and researched how satisfied vets are with their careers? That will give you more of an idea of if you definitely want to do the course or not. I have friends on the vet nursing course and they say that ones is really full on with science, so vet med will be much more intense. If you want to work with animals, have you thought about a course similar to mine or doing vet nursing instead of vet medicine? I would also advice going to some open days so you can speak to the lecturers and students and find out more.
Good luck with everything, let me know if i can answer anything else for you.

Assuming this is just your GCSE options, as long as you have English, maths and the sciences you're fine. The highest GCSE offer is 7s in all 5 of those (+ overall five 7s) but they are highly variable, e.g. Bristol only ask for like 4s/5s. But you will need to do biology and chemistry + another subject of your choice at A Level (so your grades will need to be high enough to allow your school to take those) and ideally get As in all of them. There are gateway courses and other routes to explore but as there is 10 applicants to a spot for vet schools, this is the way you should be aiming for at this early stage as opens the most doors.
It is good you are thinking about this early (well done!) and so you totally have the time to change your grades etc - you don't need a lot of money I assure you (unless you go down doing a first degree and then a vet degree as then you will not get student finance funding this can get more complicated, but that's a further down the line thing). I don't have siblings so I can't advise from personal experience but maybe have a chat to your parents about this as I'm sure they want you to succeed so can maybe help chase your siblings away for a couple hours a day to help you revise, or maybe you could stay after school for a little bit or go to a library or cafe or somewhere to be away from them? As a vet student I work best in a cafe. With electronics you will just have to put them away while revising, maybe get your parents to look after them for you? Or there are apps for example I use the Forest App and you can set it so you can't use any other apps while on it, while also monitoring how much you are studying per week. Look into methods such as Pomodoro for revision as this works for some people, and explore how you revise best - some people like watching/listening to videos, or writing notes, or making mind maps, or flash cards or drawing, if you try a variety of methods one may suit you better thus making you more concentrated and you'll get more out of the sessions. Doing past papers is a good method while in GCSE and A Levels to revise and gauge where you're at - ask your teachers for support too, that's what they're there for.
I think starting to look into doing work experience is good too - for some unis this has to be within an either 3 year or 18-month deadline before you apply (so will be October of whatever year you are in year 13 most likely) and it may be a little difficult to find places which will take under 16s due to insurance reasons, but you can always ask around and see what people say and when they'd accept you. It will really help you figure out whether you really want to be a vet (it isn't all stroking puppies and kittens!) and then if not it may lead you to another career you like, and if you do like it then great, that's something you'll use for your applications when applying to vet school. Stables like riding schools generally love an extra pair of hands and are used to younger helpers so it may be a good starting point, likewise looking into petting zoos etc. For other places I reckon they'd be more fussy on being at least 16 but maybe ask them if they would accept work experiences at 16 - look around at vet clinics (small and large animal), pet groomers, kennels, catteries, shelters, liveries, farms. Calling yields better results than emailing as emails are easily ignored, particularly with farmers and vet clinics. Lambing in spring is a very good experience to get and you don't have to be near a farm as a lot of farmers offer free accommodation and meals, and you can look for these on this NSA list. I have a GYG blog on here and I have some tips for prospective applicants which may just have some useful tips to be aware of as you're thinking about becoming a vet

Hi,
I would suggest going to speak to a careers advisor about your options first, as they will be able to give the best advice. I am currently studying Animal Behaviour, Welfare and Conservational Science and I have some science/math modules like genetics and anatomy and physiology. I also struggle with those subjects and found those modules hard, but the other subjects are varied so I found that helped. I would think long and hard about whether you really want to do it because vet medicine will be completely science/math based. That being said, if your put your mind to it and you can do anything, if you are willing to work really hard. I know vet schools are quite picky with who they allow in, because its really full on. Have you looked at vet med course entry requirement and what the modules are, and researched how satisfied vets are with their careers? That will give you more of an idea of if you definitely want to do the course or not. I have friends on the vet nursing course and they say that ones is really full on with science, so vet med will be much more intense. If you want to work with animals, have you thought about a course similar to mine or doing vet nursing instead of vet medicine? I would also advice going to some open days so you can speak to the lecturers and students and find out more.

I am not from Manchester, did not do my A Levels in Manchester, nor know of the 6th forms in Manchester. Sorry, but you're better off asking someone who is from Manchester and is familiar with the local colleges.
Original post by an0nimo0se
Thank you so much for your advice i'm thinking of doing vet nursing now but what is that i will need?
I might as well help you answer this:
Usually a foundation degree (equivalent of first year of uni) or a full bachelor's degree in vetinary nursing. The degree needs to be accredited by the RCVS. See:
https://www.prospects.ac.uk/job-profiles/veterinary-nurse
https://nationalcareers.service.gov.uk/job-profiles/veterinary-nurse
https://www.caw.ac.uk/careers/veterinary-nurse-small-animal/
https://www.careerpilot.org.uk/job-sectors/animal/job-profile/veterinary-nurse
If you want a full list of degrees or uni qualifications acctredted by the RCVS, go to the following link:
https://www.rcvs.org.uk/document-library/list-of-rcvs-accredited-higher-education-qualifications-in/
Do note, by clicking on the above link, you would start an automatic download of a PDF. Also note, that the file might be out of date since some of the unis and colleges might not offer the vet nursing courses anymore, so do check.
If you google for these degrees, you would typically find that a number of them would be asking for at least a science at A Level (with significant preference for A Level Biology). If you're not doing A Levels, there are alternative qualifications the unis and colleges would accept, but you would need to check each one. Unsurprisingly, they would still be asking for something with significant science or biology (more likely biology) content.
If you don't want to go to uni, you can sometimes get away with doing a vet nurse apprenticeship or go for a Level 3 approved vet nursing course at an adult college

There are no vet unis in Manchester. Liverpool is probably the nearest (without checking).
If your looking for a 6th form college your careers advisor at school should be letting you know where to attend as travel may be an issue as well.

Thank you so much for your advice i'm thinking of doing vet nursing now but what is that i will need?
Hi,
If you have a look at this link, it tells you all about the different modules, the entry requirements, placements and the assessments. It should give you a good idea of what is expected, the lecturers contact details are also on the page so you will be able to reach out if you have any questions for them. I hope this helps you.
