Guys I am really depressed, I moved house in October n I live 2 hours away from skl now! All my friends are revising 24/7 but I just can't i live with my uncle now as he lives closer to my school this means I only see my family on the weekend. :frown:

I just miss them a lot n I can't revise. For my mocks I got 1B 1A 2Ds n 4Cs plz help me on the weekends I just watch TV talk with family as I miss them a lot instead of revising n on school days I can't do anything cuz I just think of family issues n everything sorry I don't know what I am saying. But I just feel like a loser n a piece of lazy s*** it's all cuz of me I am too lazy :frown:

before I moved i always aimed for As n now I'm far from it

It's not because you are lazy. You are in some pretty unfortunate circumstances that are naturally having an effect on you. It's not your fault, neither is it anyone's.

That being said, have you tried talking to your school about it? They may be able to help you plan your revision out and give you extra help to get your grades back up. And don't worry about revising 24/7 just yet - chances are your friends will get burned out and stressed way before exams even start. As my dad says, what's the point in remembering everything in March?

Hope all is well soon. Keep smiling :smile:

Edit: you might find talking to usycool about this useful, he managed to get some very impressive grades under some bad circumstances too.

Mock Spanish results, ohmygods >_<

Speaking: A - the worst part is that I'm one percent off of an A*

Listening: A. I was expecting a B from this as it went horridly (e.g. I thought "moto trial" was mock trial -_-), so I've surprised myself

Reading: B, though I was only two marks or so off of an A. This grade is probably subject to change as my paper was marked incorrectly; amendments, I've been told, will be made tomorrow in class as we will be going through our tests then.

Writing: B. This was absolutely horrid, especially since I struggle with fitting in c.18 verbs into each writing component; I'm hoping to improve this, though I'm not entirely sure how to save for copious amounts of practice and past papers.

Overall, it gives me a B (为什么为什么) which is a major disappointment as I'm on a predicted grade A, but oh well ...

If you mean iGCSE World Lit topics, then I did mine based upon social injustice and how it is reflected in Muliebrity and Carpet Weavers, Morocco, for example.

I'm planning on doing English Lit, Psychology, Sociology and Politics at A Level but I'm worried about these subjects being regarded as 'soft'? I'm not sure what I want to do at uni but English is my favourite subject and I enjoy Psychology, which I am currently studying at GCSE. However, would Sociology be too similar to Psychology?

i wouldn't say they are soft because to be honest it depends on what you want to do after sixth form/College so for sixthform/college you need to choose subjects which direct you into what you want to do, so i wouldnt care about waht other people say as long as they help me to acheive my goals.

i am doing - A-level chemistry
A-level Geograph
A-level maths
A-level Biology

because i want go to Medical school- to study medicine

Your best bet would be to check different uni websites and see what they regard as 'soft'. Normally if 2 subjects overlap quite significantly then they'd prefer you only take one.

Don't worry about it. Universities only ask for specific subjects in things like science degrees etc, if you know what you want to do for your degree then I would recommend you look at universities and see if they do ask for any specific subjects. Also, psychology is actually regarded as one of the harder A-Levels as it is a science, and sociology and psychology aren't similar at all, they just go hand in hand together.
