Current Year 12 Thread Mark I (2013-2014)

Yeah that's kind of my take on Oxford, I'm just daydreaming at the moment. Cambridge is much more beautiful but I don't fancy the Natural Sciences course

I'll only apply to Oxford if I get all As at AS and at least two high As at that. I'm definitely thinking of applying to Bristol, Durham and potentially Bath. Again, this all depends on grades. If I don't do as well as I hope then I'll have to consider others...

It breaks my heart how Exeter doesn't offer chemistry though, Exeter is such a beautiful city!

I really LOVE the look of Natural Science It's why I want to apply to Cambridge (in addition to the fact that Cambridge is otherwise ****ing awesome ).

Last year I was amazed by the idea of doing natural sciences somewhere but now I'm pretty dead set on chemistry! But Cambridge is so beautiful

I haven't really done all that much research on pure Physics courses (my subject of choice), but I have to assume that NatSci will be just as "thorough", which is a concern for me, else I can't see how Cambridge science graduates would get anywhere Plus, I can maybe do a Chemistry module in addition (my A Level Physics teachers are so boring they may actually put me off the subject, although I'm hoping not).

I'm not even sure as she doesn't get a break in lesson necessarily haha. I think she doesn't go in every day though

I'm starting to freak out about university now... I think I want to study maths, and most of the courses I've looked at require further maths at least to AS, but my school doesn't want to do it this year. I put my name down for it, but it's October and it's way too late to start now, isn't it? Will universities understand that I couldn't do it??

Is it too late? My school's further maths set have only just started Logs, but it'd involve you doing lots of work in your own time as you'd usually have lessons put aside (I think) - try emailing the universities? And which ones are you interested in?

On another thread about further maths I got told that it would be too late to start :/ Plus it'd be a fifth subject for me {we have to do it as a fifth} and I already have so much work. And my maths teacher said she's pretty sure it's not happening this year :/

I looked at most of the London unis, Cambridge, Bath {also looked at their maths and physics degree with doesn't require further maths, but it's "desirable"}... Just for ideas, not set on anything yet. I just worry that if I can't do it, even if I can still apply, other students with further maths will be preferred.. :/ And maths is pretty much the only thing I can do so I don't really have much of an option when it comes to degree options.

Welcome to the new current year 12 thread, our home for the next year. (We’re now in the A Level forum )! that must mean we have matured This is the start of 2 very important years for us and A levels can be hard but that won't scare us! We have a high target to beat last year’s year 12s so let's all work hard

Below is a list of subjects and exam boards that we are all taking, I'm sure it will be useful when you need somebody to help you (Newcomers please quote me if you wish to be added )



Make sure you work your hardest all year and I'm sure the next results day will be fine, and in order to work hard here are some useful links below ( I'll add some more as I find them

http://www.examsolutions.co.uk - For Maths
http://www.Chemguide.co.uk - For Chemistry

And Finally if you have any query about A-level Choices or University choices make sure you ask/quote L'evil Fish or drop him a PM I will also answer any regarding Medicine or direct you to more helpful thread

Best of luck for the forthcoming year!
