My AS journey to 4 As.

This has more of a motivating function as opposed to a social function. As some with sub-par GCSEs (ok they were decent but 4 A* 6 As isn't exactly Oxford standard) I need to work extra hard if I want to have a shot at Oxford uni, so this is my study journal where I will write weekly just to motivate myself as I sometimes can get disenchanted with my subjects, especially psychology which I abhor. Ok in my recent mocks I got:
Politics- A 94%
History- A 85%
Eng Lit- A 85%
Psychology- B 81%

Good luck to all of my fellow AS Level students and hopefully we will be able to motivate each other :h:

They are very good GCSE grades, don't consider how good grades are compared to people on TSR as the results are completely skewed. Seems everyone on here gets >10A*
Sorry for not writing weekly but I ended up getting 4 As!! :h:

On my exam sheet the only UMS provided was for politics (not surprising as it's my only non-linear exam). I got 90 UMS :smile:

honestly sick of these 'journeys'

if you got good grades you got good grades, leave it at that, plenty of people get a's and a*'s

stop fishing for compliments; no one cares

Your bio doesn't say much. All I see is A*A*A & Imperial?

On a more important note though, I don't like your personality. You don't seem like you have a lot of friends.

this shouldn't be about me, I actually it rather not

stick to the subject at hand which is the OP's willingness to fuel their ego, please

I had a goal and I achieved it. I'm allowed to be happy about it-I worked hard. Simple as.
