I don't think what I've done was very special, and it's gonna be a nuisance tbh...

I've decided not to do the extra AS in Spanish or anything... Just gonna learn Spanish, German and Italian to a high level without committing to an official qualification.


it's much more enjoyable that way :biggrin: ... i'm not doing psychology AS and i'm just learn and read around it by myself :smile:

Psychology is very interesting without the A Level :h:

Looking back, I wish put more into subjects like maths and physics, but eh it's a little late! Just the 6 day wait now. Good luck!

Luckily for me I have a brain that can't remember anything unless I'm in an exam where it remembers everything and I'm incredibly fluky so my results should still be great.

I actually like OCR, they get a bit of a bad rep for science but I enjoyed the GCSEs mostly and the A-Levels look like good fun.


Good to hear, I'm looking forwards to it at least!

And Good Luck come next week :smile:

Thanks, good luck to you also.
I've just looked at the exam boards for my a level subjects: 3 OCR and 1 WJEC...and the WJEC one is one of the ones I'd be dropping!
I hope OCR are nice at a level ahhhhh

Sometimes I think if the standard thing was 3 years in sixth form, we could do so much more. Explore other subjects and develop more as intellectuals before moving on to University. Maybe they could introduce and A3 qualification:biggrin:

I would mind continuing them either :biggrin: .. although I only got a B in history ( I did it in year 9 haha but if I did in year 10 or 11 I reckon I could have got an A/A* :frown: ... and I was close to an A in Spanish (Y10 ) )

I never did History GCSE and I probably got an A in Spanish because I messed up the listening exam.

my writing was marked to a mid-high A* but you know how your teacher goes to another teacher from another school and hey mark each others? well the other teacher was VERY harsh and wanted it downgraded to a low-mid B .. but my teacher didn't have any of it and just put it to an A ... (she then got an email saying that some of her marks were quite harsh, even though mine wasn't moderated by the board :lol: '

and don't we all aim for 100% ;D
