That's such a pretty name! I've studied psychology at A level, as well as biology and English literature. What other subjects do you do? :smile:

You should do it at A2, only if you like it of course, but if you like it at AS then do it! As for tips, just start your revision early and in small sections rather than cramming in the last month or so. Make revision notes or cue cards or whatever works for you and do past papers :smile:

I wish I'd taken sociology instead of biology, I think I would've preferred it :smile:

Keele, just in case I don't get the grades, what about you?

I know, I have heard that biology is really hard, so maybe it was best! :wink:

Which accommodation are you going to apply for? :smile:

Definitely make sure you love the course at the moment, and look at the next years modules to see if you think you'd enjoy them. Have all of your revision notes done by February half term (Easter holiday at the latest). Do as many past papers, timed, without notes, as you possibly can! Hope this helps :smile:

I have applied and I have put the Oakley Court duplex as my first choice as I only live in Staffordshire so I thought I would go for a cheaper accommodation :smile:

how about you??

no that's not a bad idea!! A girl who was in the year above at my school now commutes into London for uni (I'm from Hertfordshire so we're only about 30 mins away by train) and it works out fine for her, if you're able to then it's a good option 😊

That's awesome, I hope you get it! I think I put Mason as my preferred one, and then selly oak was second if I remember right, and so on. Idk if they have a percentage for how many students get their first choice haha but I hope we get ours!
