Wow good luck, medicine is a very difficult course to get into. But if you carry on studying, I am sure you'll achieve amazing grades :yep:

I am currently planning on studying either nursing or education (Haven't decided yet Lmao 🤦; I need to decide quickly)

If you don’t mind me asking what kind of nursing? Bc I’m literally deciding between child nursing and paramedic science.. idk what to pick :/

I have mocks tmo... I’m feeling really anxious for tmo, I don’t feel like I’m prepared enough. I was supposed to do some hardcore revision this weekend but my family made that so difficult, literally screaming babies everywhere. I couldn’t revise properly and now I’m screwed 🙂 I’m hoping the next mocks will be better bc I already know these ones are not gonna go too well.

I’m trying to stay positive atm and I’m gonna try my best

I'm in the same position as you; I don't know what course to pick either :no:

I was initially thinking of child nursing, but I'm in a dilemma currently.

Are you applying to uni for 2021 entry?

Hmmm, it looks like we aren’t doing A levels this year boys... they’ve already been cancelled in some areas I’ve heard

I’m not too sure since I haven’t been to any of them thanks to corona. However if we are basing this on rankings then probably King’s

Just to clarify:
There has been talks and artlicles by certain newspapers that the scottish government are considering that their 'National 5' exaams (which are the equivalent of our GCSEs) are to be cancelled. And also that their 'Higher' exams (which are the equivalent of our A-levels) are still going to go ahead but in a modified format (It is not fully clear what they mean by this).

NONE OF THIS HAS BEEN MADE OFFICIAL YET - it is just speculation/proposal, and a decision is expected to be made by October half term.

There is a link to a TES article below about it - but remember don't trust everything you read on the internet :smile:

Yes I do. Thankfully all I have left now is to pay and send. I haven't decided all my choices yet but I'm only doing an early application as I want to try for Cambridge so that's fine I think.
