The Current Year 12 thread 2016-2017

With those grades you should quit sixth form and become a tutor!!! 😂

I'm not that smart, trust me 😂 Thanks though 😂

Hmm, don't doubt yourself! You must be like top 5% of the country in intelligence!😃

Aw thank you, but no, definitely not the top 5%; maybe around 25% perhaps

A*s in so many subjects? I got none & only 1 A, the rest were Bs & Cs 😩😭

Some bits of this was stolen from @JTran38 year 11 thread.

I'm always continuously editing.

Okay, so maybe I'm a bit smart but Bs and Cs are far from bad though! And well done for the A!! The way I see it, if you put in all your effort, then you can't ask for better grades because that's your capability.

Thank you, this made me happy! It's so tough to be the best you personally can be and be proud of that in such a competitive world! I am happy with most of my grades!😁

You're so right when you talk about the competitive world- I go to a grammar school whereby everyone is pretty much expected to get 10 decent passes at GCSE, As,Bs and A*s at A-Level, and then go to a Russel Group uni. Obviously there are no complaints because one would not go to a grammar school unless they desired to endure such an education, but there is so much competition between people, where there really shouldn't be. For example, if someone got 10A*s at GCSE, and they heard that someone else also got the same, they would, of course, be happy for them, but there's that mindset like "damn, I should have gotten better than them". That's why I prefer to just be satisfied with what I do because I put in that much effort so there's no point in being gloomy about grades I couldn't actually achieve. I mean I got an A in Biology, but I had been absolutely certain that it could not have been any higher than a B.

PS:Pardon the essay

A sister with 15A*'a at GCSE, 3A*'s an A and a B at A-Level, and then me. 3 A's, 2 B's, 3 C's and a D at GCSE....and only doing 3 A-Levels so she's going to be better than me still. Hard not to feel awful about myself when I don't know of anybody else with that many A*'s at GCSE!! 😭

Preach👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 love this! Be proud of yourself, because if only effort was shown instead of natural ability, the world would have such a different outlook😃

A-levels are a fresh start. Use that to your advantage :-)

I'm worried I'm not getting enough work from sixth form... Everyone around me is complaining that they're buried in work yet I seem to have a lot less. I don't know if I actually do have less or if I'm just managing my time better to keep on top of it.

Also, does anyone else find that A-Levels aren't the "big leap" they were said to be at the moment? I mean there are parts that are more challenging but it's all logical so idk but now I'm rambling 😂

I think I'll be finished with AS Biology content before October hits. How's everyone finding year 12 so far?

How have you already nearly finished?!

Year 12 is great so far. I don't feel too much of a leap but the intensity of Biology (ie. the workload) can be challenging imo
