Current Year 13 thread Mark I (2014-2015)

For my AS media coursework I was marked at 91/100 and on results day I found out it had been marked down to 75/100. This obviously came as a shock to me as It was a 16 mark deficit. However later I found out that my whole class had been marked down by 16 marks as a result of her not knowing the course, Moreover in my A2 coursework my teacher didn't realise we had an evaluation to do, until last minute which was worth 20 marks. The reason I am writing this is to see If it is worth asking my school to write to my university about this issue, I am hoping to study TV Production and therefore media is a pivotal subject. I fully understand that the university may take no notice of it, but is it worth doing it to exhaust every option.Any help would be kindly appreciated.

No harm in it, I would.

Hi all,
If I don't do as well as i expected, Shall i resit the year?
I will have to resit the exams at A2 along with my A2 exams and that will be a lot of stress! Plus, I sort of know how the game works. If i resit I can make sure i'm on the track from the start of the year and make sure I get my grades and I can have a fresh start!
HOWEVER! What's worrying me is the new A-level reforms!!! The fact that it's all going to be linear next year and I'm scared that resitting might reduce my chance of getting into Russel group University!
Shall i Resit? I just want a genuine ideas and advice.
OR I can try my best work really hard at A2 and resits some AS subjects at the end of year to get back on the game!
What shall i do?
Thank you!

I dont know what to do anymore...

Im not surei even want to go to uni anymore, i dont think ill be any good there because i get so stressed and then depressed around exam periods, which is made 10x worse when im on my own, which will be university study in a nutshell really.

I genuinelyhave an interest in maths and physics, and i think i am smart enough to understand the content, but i just cant perform in and around exams (ie most of my a2 maths exams and stuff are next week and i cant even bring myself to revise)

I think everyone feels like this around exam times really. The best thing to do is not to over think about the future so much and to just focus on the closest obstacle (i.e. your A2 exams) in front of you. Make sure you leave space for relaxation and recovery as well as your revision.

Regarding the first bit of your post, you won't be on your own. You will make friends with people on your course, people in your halls or people you come across in your day to day life. They'll be there as a support mechanism. If things get too much, student services at Notts is great and they can hook you up with a personal 'buddy'.

So, I'd say don't think about it too much right now.
