Well your question is very general. In my long post for this thread I explained many of the things you can do. If you have a more specific question I can help you.
50 reps! Thank you guys!
Which course do you want to do at uni (if any)? What sort of activities (eg. work experience) do you recommend we do in year 12 to boost our chances of getting into university?

Work experience is only VITAL for medicine. It is very helpful for science, engineering and law. Others you don't really need it.

OK thanks, but are there any other things I could do for a science-related degree?

Read books relevant to your subject that cover things outside of what you study at AS level.

How did you find paper 2?


I did OCR, Paper 2 for me was Streetcar & 1984; really uncertain about that paper because I wrote a lot of stuff off the top of my head, so much so that I've pretty much forgot everything I wrote about.

I smashed the first one but I'm sure I didn't do as well on the second, it might have thrown my chances at an A, fingers crossed though.
Art can have an AS level exam
