Am I the only who has university choices affected by location? I'm from Bournemouth and could just never imagine going somewhere as far as say, Newcastle.

I don't know, personally. I doubt I'd be going home at weekends or anything so it would matter how far I go. I'd be just as homesick regardless of distance anyway. :tongue:

Location but in a different sense - I want to get as far away from London as possible :lol:

so I'm applying to places such as Cambridge, Warwick, Bristol, Durham and Bath (and maybe Nottingham)

You need 90% at A2 overall so yes 180/200 since 200 x 0.90 = 180

Thank you

Well, sort of. I don't want to be close to home (because that's boring to me and I want to see something new!) but my mum doesn't want me to be far away. So we've had to compromise. Luckily, I live in the Midlands, so I've still got a decent range, whereas I can see why you'd be a bit limited!

Yes. I'm from around you and I just can't imagine going somewhere so close as London, Southampton or Exeter etc

I didn't technically retake a year, I did a further year due to illness :colondollar:

If you're doing similar subjects you would have a grounding in it already, so it would mainly be about perfecting exam technique and having a greater understanding of the content. Work consistently but don't burn yourself out; if you don't understand something then ask rather than a few days before exams otherwise that will stress you out; start revising early so it won't be a last minute rush :smile:

Ah okay, that's the same as one of my sisters actually. Hope you're better now :smile:

Thanks, great advice and I'll take it on board! It was very last minute or me this year. Luckily 3/4 of my subjects are the same which will make it easier :smile:

You're off to uni this year? What/where are you studying? :smile:

Haha, yes, that was me! :smile:

I'm obviously crap at evaluating my own performance. :redface:

Thank you so much! I didn't want to go around shouting about it, but it was a really nice surprise. Thanks for the bragging space. :colone:

Tbh, I didn't spend to much time with year 11s. I preffered staying with people from my year or year 13. They seemed to loud and immature sometimes. :tongue:

But now, there will be 2 new year 12 Polish girls in my school so I am happy about that. :biggrin:

Original post by SyedaK

I have a feeling there'll be a bit of rivalry at first between year 12 and 13, since we'll all be big headed and think we rule the place or something.

No no I mean i'm excited about seeing the new people enter the school. :smile:

I self-taught A2 Maths, which I finished by Year 11. I finished A2 Further Maths this year (at my sixth-form college) and now I'm self-teaching A2 Additional Further Maths. :smile:

Your results are incredibly impressive! I noticed your stupendously high UMS on the stalking page. Seriously, 99.4%?!
