Thanks for the tag, but I’m still doing my GCSEs. So is it okay if you don’t tag me in the future? I get notifications for this thread anyways because I’m “watching” it

Arabic
Spanish

Physics
PE
English Lit

B
General Studies which was extra

some random ICT short course which was extra

Those are very good- unfortunately with the B in English language, you cannot apply for Birmingham or Cardiff university as they require an A

do I acc have to keep tagging everyone in every post or is there a shortcut?

Just keep the tags in a word document :yes:

If you 'edit' an old post with all the tags, on the toolbar, there's a button that looks either like '</>' (on the new TSR w/ circular avatars) or a button that looks like 'A/A' (on the old TSR with square avatars). It might be under the advanced tab, but it's there. Anyways, that will bring you to a host of weird square brackets stuff, but you want to look for the stuff that looks like [noparse]@Fitness X Study[/noparse] and just copy that onto a word doc. If you paste that every time you want to tag someone, it'll mention them automatically :yes:

Hope that helps :biggrin:

Thank you very much. Essay subjects (History and English) were worse for me in GCSE's like they brought my mock grades down which were 7's and 8's for the other subjects but in history, I would always get like a 5 or a 6. English would usually be a 5. We did a year 11 mock in December which was on the new stuff at the time like the yr11 content which was medicine. My teacher was so bad (he was the deputy head's son- that's the only reason he got the job) so I didn't learn anything from him. I borrowed the revision guide we used in class from him without asking him (gave it back on the day of my proper medicine and Elizabeth exam lol) and I learnt it all myself like I barely recognised any of it from the lessons. No wonder he finished the topic before all of the other classes. Basically how I ended up doing well even though I didn't expect to was because after the mock I didn't tell my mum that I failed because she's strict (mums a doctor and dads a dentist) so I'd get killed lol. I just learnt from my mistakes in the exam by going to one of the other teachers who didn't teach me and had much more experience. I revised in the holidays and did lots of practice questions and got the good teacher to mark them. A few days before my Vietnam and America paper I got a 9 which made me feel confident instead of scared, I felt so good (I also think there was an element of the bad teacher not knowing how to mark properly). Any more questions let me know because I always used to and still do read advice from older people so I only feel like it's right to give back.
