How fortunate of you to have a good teacher, some of us aren't that lucky :cry:

Another one on AQA, I feel like such an outcast on WJEC.

Oh my no, not a good teacher. I have two teachers, one of them is good, one of them is the teacher who gave us a quiz :mmm:

Does anyone here want to have some power temporarily and hold a vote for us in the year eleven thread? :tongue:

And what exactly would that entail? :holmes:

Holding a vote for us, we are currently in anarchy, and the peasants don't like that.

I did some induction tests in each of my subjects (apart from German because there isn't one).

Maths: E
Sociology: C
Psychology: B (but my teacher reckons I would have got an A if I actually finished :colondollar:

)

Not looking good at the moment.. Especially Maths. -.-

There was two halves to the test.. Aced the first half, and only got 1 mark on the second half... Luckily I didn't get kicked off the course... I got the 3rd lowest in my class though.

Anyway; Have any of you guys managed to balance your work and social life/other activities/etc yet? Because I'm really struggling... I'm doing so much work - which I don't mind doing - but I'm just so tired on weekends, and I don't want to do anything at all...

I had 2 physics tests, one was 3/38 because I forgot rotations stuff. The other I haven't got the result but should be about 20.

I have 2 math tests on Mon and tues and I'm dreading it, I have had barely anytime to revise and I still have homework to do, I have to get at least 40% to not get killed, arghh there just isn't enough time in the day, and I also need to redo my first physics test, possibly on tues as well.

Really? Stanford is my favourite school as well, hopefully he's the exception and not the norm. I'm guessing you're applying to American Universities as well? Do you have any in mind?

I'm going to next year's college day, hopefully. How did you find it? Did you talk to any universities in particular?

Yep me and my family are moving to America after my A levels so I will be going to University there. I think it was just him, I asked a question about employers visiting the school and he entered a slowly increasing manic laugh and said EVERYONE gets a job if they are from Stanford, also words to the effect that nothing can touch Stanford, they are the best, everything else is utter rubbish and he kept plugging their famous alumni such as Google's Sergy Brin.

MIT, Stanford, Berkeley, UCLA, UC Irvine and university of Florida are the main ones that I entertained, I'm interested in doing Computer Science as of now :biggrin:

Well it was okay, there was a seminar on the application process which was useful, however the majority can be found out on the internet. It’s nice to have physical contact with people from the Universities rather than feeling so distant however when I got there I felt a bit clueless on what to actually do/ask.

What are you interested in doing at University/College?

I don't have this problem so much, because the only social life I have is on the internet... :colondollar:

but I also haven't felt that there's too much work yet. There's a lot, but it's perfectly manageable, and I have some spare time so if I wanted to do something like socialising I could. Do you have a job? I know most of my friends with jobs are struggling to fit in a social life between schoolwork and job work, so if that's the case maybe you should see if you can work fewer hours. If you don't - I'm not really sure what to suggest. How much revision you are doing? At this stage, you don't need to do more than a couple of hours, so if you're doing more than that you can cut down. :biggrin:

Is there anyone who has signed up (or has already done) the medlink course at Nottingham Uni?
I'm not sure if I should go or not. Is it worth it for the price it costs?

There's a thread about this in the Medicine forum I think, maybe someone else could link you in... but the gist of it is that it's overpriced and not that useful. But if you think it would be beneficial to you and can afford it, then that's your own decision :biggrin:

it probably helps some people more than others.

Anybody applying to the Nuffield Foundation for research placements next year? :holmes:

I want to, but I'm on holiday.
Sad face :frown:

(although I love going on holiday)

Sixth form is going okay so far, finding it a little challenge to keep up with work though, I'm doing maths, physics, further maths. Biology and chemistry, and every time I finish one piece of work, more comes :frown:

Enjoying it overall though :smile:

Nah I don't have a job.

I think it's because I did nothing at all at GCSE.. whereas I'm actually working now, so it's tiring me out.. I'm not used to it. :tongue:

Both of those modules end up getting very tedious

Really sorry for replying late, i've been going through a lot of personal problems lately.

Yh i was nervous too, but now i feel that i've made a lot of friends. I love this college so much better than my sixth form!

Yep, 30 people in class = worst disaster ever!!

You wont believe how much i've forgotten over the summer, almost absolutely everything!!
I underestimated the revision because i thought i would know everything already.
Now, i've realised that i have a loooot of exam practice to do because my subjects are maths-based. But i do love mock exams! :h:

Yh i was quite lazy last year too! Worst mistake everrrr! :tongue:

I think this is my third week now. So far, really awesome!

Oh thats bad. That rarely happens in north london where i live.
Although, im not sure about east london - where my college is.
I didnt make friends on the enrolment day, so my first day of college was the first day i met my friends.

Your first day was quite similar to mine. Haha, how are your lessons so far??
You play football?? Wow!

I've barely been using TSR much so it's fine! Sorry to hear about that though.

College is taking over my life! I didn't realise how much i have forgotten too its crazy. Only thing where I haven't forgotten too much is maths :biggrin:

Yes, mocks should be fun :wink:

I've have 3 weeks now, lessons are going well so far enjoying myself. There is only one teacher I don't really like, for the reason she keeps picking on me :angry:

But otherwise its good.

Yeah, well I have in the past! But, because I missed a year of doing any proper physical exercise I've been too scared to attend training at College. I'm worried they'll all be amazing and I'll let everyone down. I'm trying to make myself go though! Do you play any sports? :smile:

I hear you brother.

It's a tad annoying that even though everyone - teachers, my peers - recognises that there's a jump between GCSE and AS, my Econ teachers don't seem to address it. It's like I'm being expected to know the syllabus already, and they're just filling in some details. D:

Great in respect to how much more relaxed it is than school, and the frees are helpful for work. Much more fun too.

Just a shame Physics and Chemistry are soooo boring and tedious at the moment :frown:

I hope they change soon! I was thinking Maths would be the worst for me, but it's the best by far! (Even though Mechanics can be a *****, but good fun still)

How about you?
