Which University Is Better?

Õpilane's Grow Your Grades :biggrin:

About Me:
Hi everyone! I'm an ambitious year 9 student with dreams of going to an Oxbridge University one day. This is my first TSR post but I've seen a lot of these going around and it sounded like something I wanted to do, so here I am :smile: Here's a bit about me first:

Subjects:
-English Language
-English Literature
-Maths
-Biology
-Chemistry
-Physics
-Religious Education
-Computer Science
-French
-Spanish
-Further Maths
-Statistics

In my school we use a target grade and progress grade system, your progress grade indicating how you performing in that subject at the time. These are very flexible and change a lot!

Target Grades:
-English: 8
-Maths: 8
-Science: 8
-French: 9
-Spanish: 9
-Computer Science: 9
-Further Maths And Statistics (I Study A Combined Course): 7
-Religious Education: 9

Progress Grades (Spring Term):
-English: 8
-Maths: 8-
-Science: 9
-French: 8
-Spanish: 8
-Computer Science: 8
-Further Maths: 7
-Religious Education: 7

I am really happy with all of these grades, but any revision tips / resources that could bring them up to grade 9s are always appreciated!

I'm not going to have an update schedule, but I'll post whenever I can. Enjoy!

The all-important tag list: :biggrin:

Great results and best of luck!

But try to relax with uni goals - it's not a good idea to be fixated on just one and you never know what situation you'll be in in 4 years

Will do! I'm sure you're doing awesome, good luck with whatever is coming up :smile: do I just have to tag people at the start or do I put it at the end of each post?

It doesn't matter but most put it at the end.

I personally don't have a gyg unfortunately, I'm just that guy who reads everyone elses. :frown: My university grades are definitely better than my A-level and GCSE grades. I may do a gyg for my masters though! :P

Ah sorry I thought that's what you meant earlier - do whatever you think would work for you. I was a gyg reader for months! Good luck in your masters though, thanks so much for checking out my threads :biggrin: What are you studying?
Oops I keep forgetting to tag people...

Ahahaha generally you tag people into your daily posts on progress.
This is a good example of how RazzzBerries does hers. :smile:

I study Business Management at Swansea and will move onto Public Policy for my Masters. Then I may do PhD in Development Studies maybe?, depending on how well I will cope with my full time job and Masters at the same time. :biggrin: Literally studying as a hobby basically. :h:

That's so cool :biggrin: it's great to study what you love too, that's what I plan to do! I think I've been on RazzzBerrie's gyg, I'll check it out :smile:

Yeah! The thing is years ago I absolutely hated studying anything with my biggest hate being languages and I did subjects I was awful at for A-level such as Biology and Chemistry so I chose Business as a means to an end and out of desperation. I am so happy I have dug myself out of my self-made hole and I can finally study what I want. I am now studying Mandarin and German too, funny how times can change with age. :h:

Moral of the story: Work hard :biggrin:
