How much revision are you guys doing during the half term in terms of hours ?:smile:

I haven't really given it much thought, but I'm highly considering Durham. I'm doing Maths though so it's a bit of a different ballpark compared to most of you here (medicine would be my absolute nightmare! :s-smilie:)
I might look more into summer schools next year tbh, didn't really know they were a thing!

Haha I'm sure too :tongue: thanks for the reassurance though :biggrin:

Ah. I see. Durham is still a highly regarded university even in my chosen degree (PPE). Other top universities that do my degree is UCL, Durham and York. Good luck though. I think Cambridge is the best university for Maths.

Do you live near Durham ? My parents say that I can go uni wherever I want in the world. Lol. They also say that I need to be more independent.

Wow. That's a lot of revision. I've really been slacking for the past couple of days.

Thank you.

Don't you have to pay £4000 for the Oxford one ? I did look into that.

School bits:
Hi Everyone,

I'm in year 11 so I will be sitting my GCSEs on the 18th May (eek). I also had mocks on the 22nd Feb so keeping this thread made sure I kept up with my revision. At the moment my targets and grades are:

(WJEC) English Language: A*
(WJEC) English Literature: A*
(Edexcel) Maths: A*
(OCR Gateway B) Biology: A*
(OCR Gateway B) Chemistry: A*
(OCR Gateway B) Physics: A*
(AQA) German: A*
(OCR Modern) History: A*
(AQA) Geography: A*
(OCR National) ICT: A*

Some of you may look at this and wonder how I can improve, but I set really high standards and in some of my mocks I have been getting 84/85 and scores like that, so I am working towards getting as high a mark as possible, and not just securing the grade.

Hopefully, if I can get the grades, I want to go on to college and study Maths, Further Maths, Chemistry, Physics and Geology.

Personal bits:
If you want a bit of background I've always been quite good academically (though I genuinely hate to admit it) but I believe it is down to the fact that I have severe Atopic Eczema (that the specialist said was the worst in 30 years) and because of this, I have found studying to be a worthy distraction. I also can't see out of one eye which makes life interesting but I like it that way. If I can work hard enough, and get into University, I will be the first person in my family to do so, and considering my parents have barely any qualifications, this is definitely something I aspire to.

A few last words:
I am open to any advice or constructive criticism and I am happy to help anyone too.

If you want to find out more about me as a person I would be happy to post info and along the way, I will be detailing revision I have done, so if you would like to see pictures of it just let me know and I'll be happy to upload :smile:

Also, recently, people have asked if they can post their revision on here too so it can help motivate everyone and we can help each other along - feel free to join in :smile:

Mocks (22nd Feb)
Here's the posts I made about the mocks I have just taken :smile:



Hi how did the first exams go?

Nope. Plastic. I want to reconstruct birth defects etc. http://www.americanboardcosmeticsurgery.org/patient-resources/cosmetic-surgery-vs-plastic-surgery/ :smile:

Yes, you do. But hopefully it's worth it! I'm doing medical biology and experimental psychology :biggrin:

Yeah I know it's still pretty good even if it's not one of the best. Tbh I'm not fussed about Cambridge/Oxford so I'm happy to go for somewhere like Durham instead :smile:

And I live in Leeds, so not a massive way away but still far enough away from everyone I know - my grandma says I need to leave everything so that I'm actually forced to meet new people as she knows I won't otherwise :redface: probably true tbh


It was a joke and reference to Doc Hollywood. That's an old movie which stars Michael J Fox and was the movie in which I met my first love ... A 1956 Speedster.

That is very honourable. I respect your aspirations.
