Current Year 12 Thread Mark I (2013-2014)

So I'll be getting 2 non-GCSE's (they're not BTECs) which has pissed me off as my school decided to change those for people who were struggling, as well as 6 GCSE's on the day - [I already have an A in Maths and Core Science]

So altogether I should have 8 GCSE's and 2 other qualifications, is this a massive problem for me if I want to study at a Russel Group Uni? My predictions are all A/A*s but I'm not sure I'll get those

I've given my mum clear instructions on what to do on results day>.< once I've got my results I will be ok so mums taking me straight to Cardiff!
I get incredibly nervous too, I just implode its kind of awful and embarrassing .-.

Yes, I have got my enrolment letter and it doesn't say anything about a charge. Woo!

Isn't it optional for some colleges? It is compulsory at my college so I guess that's why they don't charge. Unless it is compulsory at yours as well then it seems a bit unfair.

Well my GCSE are just average. ABBBBBBCC

I didn't meant it all goes for the ID card but some of it must. Well it is a good college so I don't mind too much. It just seems a lot compared to before!

Won't be a problem, just the grades that matter but not a lot compared to AS.

Well, if they say you have to pay - i dont think its optional.

Yep, it is compulsory at my college.




Im sure them gcses are fine!
You probably wont get into oxbridge, but the ones like UCL and kings college are more than happy to accept you.

Out of curiosity, is your college rated 'outsanding' by ofsted?

I wouldn't pay attention to Ofsted. My school is rated outstanding when it really isn't

Ahh good, I'm going to really try much harder this next two years to get the best grades that I can, and surely they want top AS grades, personal statement etc?
Also if I were to study law, how do I go about getting work experience; or does that only apply to medicine students?

well I guess a lot of it depends on AS results. And PS. I'll see how it goes though, need to work hard this time around

yeah it is and on Wiki(great source) its says this:
The college is rated as being 'Outstanding' by Ofsted and is the only further education college in the county to have achieved this.
So I guess I'm going to the right place

Saying that my school was outstanding but I wouldn't have said so!

What about your college?

Indeed, we have to work much harder this year!
This year, i got EEE and i will hopefully get AAAA this time round! Big difference!

When i read the word 'county', i thought it you wrote 'country' and i was thinking "WHAT??!!!"
My apologies!
Yh so, it must be a really awesome college if its the only 'outstanding' in the county - i hope you will like it.

My college is 'good' like almost every other college and sixth form in london.

Also if I were to study law, how do I go about getting work experience; or does that only apply to medicine students?

Can someone recommend me a somewhat dark film that's about 60-90 mins long for my film review please?

Oh, why Cardiff?

I can't stand it. Some people seem to think it's stupid that I'm worrying, even I do really, but I seriously think I didn't do enough to get the grades I want.

So how is everyone?

My GCSE's are Maths, Additional Maths, Chemistry, Biology, Physics, Humanities, History, Spanish, English lang and lit, Business and IT

I want to go to imperial college to study maths or physics

Other A levels are further maths, Maths and Physics

I prefer solving mathematical problems, I hate doing practicals but I would like to have 2 science and 2 maths a levels
