CutieTootsie's road to A*A*A*

Yay that must mean you're so awesome! hehe
If you do a lot of past papers, you WILL get very high UMS.

Maths advice: don't get complacent, do solomon papers, aqa, ocr questions - you'll get the top marks for having so much breadth! I didn't do that for decision maths so I ran out of time due to lack of familiarity.

Chemistry: a little harder to revise for, but cue cards are your best friend - that's all I did last year (not even a past paper). you do maths so you are highly advantaged, the rest is all about key words, definitions and accuracy. This year I will be doing past papers because I really want an A*, do that too if you want to go for Oxbridge.

HOPE THIS HELPS! good luck! xx

Thank you so much!x:h: Yeah I really want to apply to cambridge for economics!:biggrin: Best of luck to you too!x:h:

You did put your past behind you, you got amazing AS grades and have amazing A2 predictions!:smile:
I do know what you mean though, I did **** all for my GCSE's...

And she only got a B for gcse bio and chem, but A's at AS and predicted A*s! WOW!:biggrin:


Thank you! I hope you realise if you didn't do as well as you'd hope at gcse, there are still A LOT of choices out there uni wise, especially if you do fantastic at AS level :smile:

Do you do OCR A? Textbook looks familiar...:smile:


It is, but I'd be careful, there are so many mistakes in the book - it's atrocious! (although I hope they've rectified this so that your new print has less mistakes)

Well I got 3A*s, 6As and 2Bs at GCSE last year. But I am dissapointed in myself, because I know that I could have done better if I'd tried! I'm mean I'm lucky to even have those grades when I did nothing!:redface: It''s just that I don't have that satisfaction from working hard, you know? So I am giving 100% for the next two years!x:wink:

Chemistry revision begins! Rates of reaction doesn't seem to be a bad topic at all 😊
I forgot how time consuming it was to make cue cards though.... urgh :/


Oh man, I struggle with chemistry. Not as much as others in my class but my teacher isn't very good and I hate all the formulae. Lol. I get physics tho

Around mid-march? And I write cue cards for every topic test. Biology - memorise, chemistry - do stretch challenges questions and memorise definitions, maths - past papers galore and when in doubt do past papers from other exam boards
