A*A*A*A* at A-Level: AMA

In A-Level Physics, Chemistry, Maths and Further Maths, I achieved A*A*A*A*. This is my greatest life achievement so far (well other than surviving tbh). I'm happy to answer any questions :smile: Also, I had no social life whilst doing my A-Levels!

You say that last bit very, happily?

Why did you not have a social life? You can study effectively while maintaining, you know, your sanity 👍🏻

Well done on your achievement. 😊

I didn't mean to say it happily, I guess it just came across in that way? I kinda got used to it after a while and told myself it would be worth it in the long run. Plus, when studying is a good distraction so it's not too bad. I've always been very shy, socially awkward and introverted :/

Thank you :smile:

I spent everyday after sixth form revising, from about 16:30 - 20:30 every evening. I also spent break time and lunch time at sixth form studying. And my weekends consisted of around 18 hours of revision.

Thanks :smile: I did AQA Physics and the papers were pretty nasty! Well done on your A in physics - that's great too :smile:
I was supposed to be going to Imperial but they won't let me return until 2019 because of my health. :frown:

there are so many of these threads. maths + further maths + physics is the easiest combination due to the amount of content that overlaps. chemistry as well's alright though. on r/6thform there's a guy that got 6 A*s


No need to rain on their parade...

I wouldn't say it is an 'easy' combination! Further maths is notoriously one of the most difficult A-Levels.

I guess TSR attracts these sorts of students? Wow 6 A* is incredibly impressive! I wonder which subjects that was in.

Yeah apparently 4 A* is easy in their opinion!
What other interests do you have? Also which course at imperial are you hoping to do?

Swimming, cycling, yoga, reading, photography and spending time outdoors. These are pretty boring things I guess!

Physics with Theoretical Physics :smile:
