Thank you, I think I need one of those oxygen masks from a hospital! :eek3:

Just a few more questions left! :ahee:

And tomorrow I go through the same with functions. :eek2:

By the end kf the week, it'll be mostly over though. And I can't wait.
I should have spotted that too :facepalm2:

Oh dear. It's really not my night. :teehee:

It's just summer homework thankfully! :biggrin:

Haha, the two bad things! :eek:

I promise it gets better :')

How do you cope? Do you not run out of 'new' clothes?

That's true, its very rare to see a yellow suit available to buy. I actually recently bought a blue suit, blue suits are the best tbh

oh I don't do blue suits :nope:

... I have grey suits and blue shirts or ties :biggrin:

Thing is, we got vectors done and dusted before the holidays. :redface:

I've no doubt I'll crack it in the end, but it's harder when there's the pressure of an assignment to give in. :smile:

oh haha

well my teacher hates vectors so she get's a different teacher in just for those lessons :colondollar:

you have plenty of time yet :smile:

1. How can you not do blue suits?
2. Grey suit with a blue tie is very risky

That too, I guess we'll just have to deal with it though- there's been campaign after campaign by different groups, but it doesn't seem to get very far! At least we have a free health service which is more than most countries do :smile:

Damn, the Summer went fast. I planned so much and did so little.

Anyway:

Maths: A(90+%)
Physics: A (85%)
History: B (76%)
English Lit: C (who knows, I hated it)

Well, you may be able to tell what I'm dropping next year. Good luck to all!

I'm student president and starting EPQ and Japanese lessons, so next year is going to be busy! Good for UCAS though :wink:

I feel the same haha! all I did is maths really :colone:

Nice scores overall - I don't want to be assuming but do you want to do something in Science, because those Maths and Physics scores seem to indicate that, nice history score as well :smile:

Thanks, you too.

Sounds very interesting - I'd love to learn some Japanese but I'm just too lazy at learning languages :tongue:

I applied last year and will be going to university this year (I posted regularly on here last year :colondollar:

)

I did anatomy and physiology workshops- involved dissections, tutored in biology, did some work experience in clinical settings and the oceanography center, CSLA, organised a fundraising event and played lacrosse for the regional team, biology olympiad, extra reading that's off the top of my head :redface:

I feel like I don't have much room to put ECs in my personal statement but I've mentioned my volunteering, my entry into an essay competition where I was shortlisted, LSE open lectures that I attended, reading that I've done, work experience at JPMorgan, participation at a debating competition, sports (in the chess and rugby team). I actually have a DofE silver but it isn't spectular/relevant enough to be mentioned? How about you?

also, a major thing (possibly) is to try and prove you are a hobbyist in the subject. For instance, I make apps and games so I'm hoping the fact I can already program will help me get into my comp sci course.

Btw, your grades make me jealous -_-

I'm retaking Year 13 but dropping English Lit after doing that along with Psychology and French, with Forensics taking it's place.

Year 13 is on another level in terms of difficulty, for example, my English coursework was marked a B by my teacher but then knocked right down to a U by the board, that was a whole 22 marks lost! For French, I got high U's at A2 which somehow scraped an E overall thanks to my AS, things really do get tough.
