How realistic actually is a full set of a*?? And how much revision do you guys think we should be doing during half term because I feel like I'm slacking off big time haha


Yes I do think that it is quite possible if you have worked hard all year, but I know a great deal of people who revised the night before and got all A*s. I'm hoping that's the same for me but I think I've flopped so many already :biggrin:

PE. I see. I was meant to be doing a half qualification thing of that in school. It was compulsory for people to do it if they didn't select PE GCSE and were good at it. Long story short I got predicted an A* and then they decided to not do it in Year 11 because of cutbacks. Sweet 😡
A C is still good though. You can't be a jack of all trades.

Oh that's odd :s-smilie:
What actually was it (if you know that is)? And did they replace it with anything else?
Yeah I'm ok with it seeing as I'm not bothered about PE at all, at least I'm passing which is all I really care about tbh. And true, my other subjects make up for it :smile:

Thanks. I'm working hard so hopefully it will pay off. I'm sure you'll get your 8A*s too even if it does include a pesky B or C.

Yeah I'm sure you will :smile:
Thanks 👍🏻

Yeah exactly - there are so many less facts to remember as most you can just make up as you go! :smile:
I'm not even bothered about geography (I hate it so much haha) I just want to do well for the sake of my results sheet if you get what I mean


Indeed - and yes I get what you mean, it would be a shame to have a D for geography when everything else is A or A* (although you definitely won't get a D grade) :biggrin:

Now I remember. It was a shortcourse but like I said at the end of year 10 we were told that they wouldn't be doing it due to cutbacks.

That's annoying, especially as you would have done well in it.
