I am, I happen to be doing the Information Studies and History exams. It wouldn't hurt getting an Unconditional!

That’s my goal to, to get an unconditional offer. I’m doing both human and physical geography

It’s so difficult to know how to get the best marks

NO LITERALLY THIS. Most say "describe" so I'm saying they'll be 15 markers? Like my u4 geog exam is 2hr30 for 3 22 markers so idk, I'm just calculating it from there. Good luck though!

Well, some of the questions in my Information Studies paper was the same for the 4th year in a row, so I believed I did alright tbh, predicted Vietnam on my History - World paper two!
Im sure you’ve done alright, I wouldn’t worry too much

I think it went well but i did sociology and criminology and found it hard to know in what way the exams will be marked like for example how many marks each question was.

I don't think I did particularly well either. I had 4 questions that I planned for and only 2 of them came up - which meant I had to bluff the other 2.
I'm sure we've all done ok. There was only me and another girl (who graduated from my sixth form in 2022) that were there (bare in mind my sixth form has about 300~ students)
