Subjects: A level Maths, Further Maths, Physics, Chemistry, Geography
Plans: Learn German, learn programming, get my desired scores in all my exams, and find some internships.
Post sixth form plan: Go to the uni for mechanical and electrical engineering.

What are yours?

I'm doing a level 3 diploma in health and social care, then hopefully moving onto uni once this is done. I want to pursue a career in social work. What about you?

that's great good luck! I would've encouraged you to go for medicine but biology is almost (*almost*) a necessity for the interview :\

Biology is my easiest subject I'd say, but of course there is a lot of content. I've got graded tests next week so I guess that will tell me where I'm at:s-smilie: What about u?

I changed school too! It's a grammar school and doing 4 AS levels is compulsory :frown: I was a bit nervous before joining but it's not that bad tbh
I was just curious about one thing: you know how we've done our GCSEs from state schools which were underperforming, will we be able to specify that on UCAS/to universities? Because if I recall correctly, achieving good GCSEs in a state school (instead of grammar/private) is seen as more "desirable" in the eyes of admissions tutors..
