Good luck! Be sure to tag me in updates. 998A*A*A*A*A*A*A is by no means mediocre!

Good luck!
What are you hoping to study at university? Also, do you have any idea of where you would like to study?

Thank you!! I'm hoping to study medicine and I'm looking at UCL, Imperial, and Oxford right now What about you?

Ooo, some very good unis there. I'm currently doing GCSE's at the moment but hope to study Law one day... currently looking at Exeter/Durham/UCL/QMUL, but really too early to kind of work out what I'll be studying, i'll probably change this about five times in the next year!

All BMAT unis! Important to consider closer to the time.

Yeah, bit of an alarm bell for some people, but I've decided just to apply for BMAT unis and forgo the UKCAT

As long as you're taking the September BMAT. October would be utter insanity...

Nice, gl. You sound like a very smart person yet in touch with the procrastinating temptations we face in this generation (social media, reality tv, memes).

I say you sound smart but I think we can confirm you are smart. But very much deserved as you're doing a lot of extra work

Hopefully this thread keeps you motivated and you update this thread so I have stuff to read

Aw, don't stress you got loads of time. Good luck on your GCSEs first and foremost, and hopefully you'll smash your A Levels too Those are some great unis, especially for Law but like I said, you've got loads of time so don't stress

Well my school only runs BMAT for the November sitting,

...Do you think that might be a problem?

Thanks, but I promise I’m not lol. Procrastination is all I seem to do so far, and I’ve spent way too many days going out than I’d planned for so I’m seriously behind schedule. I’ll try, but like I said I’m way too good at procrastinating 😂

What about you? Are you doing/going into/finished a levels?

Weell.. it's going to be harder than it looks, or shall I just say more boring than it thinks. It's like that phrase... if you think doing a task will take you 10 minutes it'll actually take you double

Going out with friends / family is good. It's better than the procrastination of sitting on the sofa and catching up on love island aha. Going out is a bit of exercise, fresh air, communcation, um yeah.

I finished A levels back in 2017 so I am actually going into 2nd year of uni. I got pretty similar grades to you at gcses (we didn't have the numbers then tho) which is considered high!!! And yeah did well at A-levels whilst sounding seemingly like I might have put in a lot less work than you will . Don't think I did much revision over the summer... actually, I think that was because the modules didn't really link too much between AS and A2. Now I guess they do, so it's harder. Might have always been like that for English lit though actually.

But yeah I dunno, the a2s gets you working alone and quite a lot I guess and maintaining that for uni is tough. I suppose I'd ask why you're doing 4 A-levels? I mean you've got the best ones for medicine (maths, bio, chem) so dunno I guess you enjoy studying haha.

I procrastinated a bit too much in 1st year (there wasn't much pressure from lecturers/the uni to do a lot to get good grades if that makes sense) and narrowly missed out on the grade I wanted. Unlucky but I suppose when you don't work hard the whole year I was lucky too to get what I did. So yeah, the goal really is to try and fix my mentality for year 2 so I study a lot more. I think reading your own thread will perhaps make me feel less of a loser attempting to spend more time "in the books". Studying isn't cool however you look at it, but with the effects you've used on your pictures it seems a bit more trendy now lmao.
