• Babs' Road to 4 As •

All the best of luck to ya! What do you wanna study at uni?

Thank you!

I'm really not sure haha... ideally I'd love to do a maths degree but I think to study it at a decent uni it needs to be accompanied by further maths which I don't take

Good luck

Just wanted to add to the discussion, my GCSE's are pretty much exactly the same as yours (I got 2A*s, 8A's and 1C) and I recently got an offer from Cambridge (Comp Sci w/Maths).... Just as a bit of motivation hopefully

TSR is filled with 30A* students so I gotta spread the word that as far as I know, GCSE's will not hold you back if contextually you improve at AS

Wow that's amazing, massive congrats! Yes I need all the motivation there is haha, thank you! What were your AS results? Oh and I don't really know when to start revising, when did you start to crack down? Atm I'm acting as if I'm in Year 8 again and nothing matters... Need to get my ass in gear

Haha ta but it wasn't meant as bragging, just a little motivation thing :P Thanks though

I got AAAA in Maths, Further Maths, Physics and Economics (96.7,91,91,80.5 UMS in that order too, incase you were wondering). I do think the main reason I got in is because I got by far the best results at my school, as my UMS (92.8) is below average for Cambridge offer holders. Just aim to be the best among your peers, and hopefully that works out for you (btw, trust me you can do the best. Having higher results than my friends shocked me so much, but I think it came down to my dedication).

I started properly planning and doing revision in March, but I did take the Jan mocks somewhat seriously (getting B's and a couple A's).

Maths is the easiest to revise, as you can just continuously do textbook questions until you get confident enough to do past papers, then do all of them. I say easy, I mean straightforward as in it's a type of "ABC" revision plan. For essay subjects however, I found for Economics, doing a past paper and getting the best teacher I knew to mark it in detail was the most useful thing I did, but I assume, by your chosen subjects, you're much stronger than me in the essay field :P

Best of luck! If you need anything do contact me, I spend too many hours on TSR so helping people out is always lovely

I didn't take it as bragging haha, let the whole world know!

I find Maths the easiest, it's been something that I'm naturally good at but because of this it kind of gets neglected... I've never had to revise it before. I find essays harder suprisingly... love my subject choices I find them harder to revise for and struggle to get everything down in the time limits!

Thank you very much! Sure will, me too but I think I procrastinate in the process

My name is Chels (not Babs haha, just a nickname but we'll go with it) and I'm 17, studying AS levels in Year 12. I take:I'm finding it a huge struggle so I've created this to not only help and motivate me but hopefully others too!

I was rather lucky at GCSEs, my results weren't brilliant but I was quite fortunate as I got 2 A*, 8 A and 2 B and didn't put that much effort into them. I've now come into Year 12 with the same mentality and it's obvs not working... I don't know how well I'm doing in each subject truthfully, I get my mock results on the 2nd Feb... fingers crossed!

My exams

I am not liking the timings of each exam, they're so close together I'm screwed but hopefully this well help!

If you need any help with history, maths or politics I'm here!

Good luck with your mock results!

Thank you very much! Same applies to you of course

I'm super nervous about my mock results because I know I'm going to be disappointed, hopefully it will motivate me to improve though...

you have a nice break for Politics but the other stuff... why, oh why, exam board fates, do they want to see students suffer?

Good luck with the mock results, and don't be disheartened if they're not as good as you might hope. There's time to improve and it's important to learn from them.
