Hi!!
I’m so worried about next year. Even though I tried my hardest I did so bad in mocks this year and I’m scared it’s going to repeat itself next year. If you don’t mind me asking what did you get in mocks? I got

Art-7
Biology-5
Chemistry-5 (even though I was so confident with the exam)
English Language-5
English Literature-5(I answered the poem question wrong so I’m not too bothered)
Maths-5(I don’t revise for it at all, I really should)
Physics-4
Rs-4(did an exam after, got a 9)
Spanish-3(one mark off 4, didn’t revise at all)
I also now get extra time because they found out I have dyslexia sooo I hope that helps next year :smile:

Chemistry - 9
Physics - 9
Biology - 8

Maths - 5 ( I didn’t revise for it either!!)

I did well on my mocks but I’m so nervous I won’t pass the real exams!! I have dyscalculia (dyslexic got maths basically) so my maths is my least favourite subject but I need to work on it so much!!

Sounds like if you revise you'll do quite well.

how did you do so well in science!! I'm so shocked they are such good grades. and same, I dislike maths so much, one test in year 10 I decided to revise for it and I got a 7, but I just hate revising for it so I just don't do it, which is bad

Science is my favorite subject as it comes very easy to me, especially physics. I focus on science a lot I’m always revising for it which is why I got such good grades. I hate revising for maths too, it stresses me out

I’m so stressed out on what I should study for A levels because I have to Include those in my personal statement to sixth form

English Language - 8
English Literature - 6
Maths - 4 (don’t really like it mate, but I did try hard for it)
Science - 5
Geography - 5
Dance - 5
Music - 5
Religious studies - 9
French - 4

My parents say I should study science so I can be a doctor , but you need a form of maths to study medicine in uni but I hate maths. So what do I decide for A levels ?

Think about what you are passionate about, where do you see yourself in 5-10 years? What do you love, what was your favorite lesson in school. If being a doctor isn’t for you then don’t study it because you won’t enjoy it
