Now debating as to whether to follow an English focused A level course (my favourite subject, but unlikely to lead to that many employment opportunities), or a Computer Science one (decent enough at it, don't really enjoy maths terribly, would give huge job potential)

These are amazing grades, you should be very proud of yourself!

When do you have to make a decision about your a levels?

My turn 😁

Our school requires at least 50 points from your top 6 GCSE grades added up (so minimum 2 9s and rest 8s)

I wish to pursue Medicine in the future, so I’ll be taking A-levels at the sixth form at my current school. I chose Maths, Chemistry, Biology and Economics (I’ll drop this after AS).Imo, I think I did as well as I thought I would (except Further Maths, I was terrified for that one!).

For future year 11s, my advice would be to ensure you understand your concepts, memorise what you need to and apply said knowledge and memorised info in the form of practice! Also, learn what examiners are looking for through mark schemes so that you know how much ground to cover when you encounter larger questions.

Hi I'm realitively happy with my grades, my school decide to show the work that was used in evidence and its grades used to calculate these grades. Some grades were lower than expected but still fine.

I'm so happy over these results couldn't have asked for better, I plan on doing 4 a level's next year: Bio, Chem, Psychology and Medical Science and hopefully get into Oxford or Cambridge for Uni.

For advice, id say always look at the online marking schemes and see what the standard is!

I unfortunately got a 5 in GCSE English Lit do you think I should go ahead for a remark or keep it as 5. I'm scared my oppurtunites will be narrowed later... I'm still in year 10 btw: we do english lit gcse in year 10.

My thoughts? Completely undeserved, and I know many who have exceptionally high grades will not admit this themselves, but I don't really blame them for that. I was aiming for the grade 6 and 7 range for all these subjects (because my school didnt teach much, and i was self teaching myself for the past 2 years) and it seems the teachers bumped it up by 2-3 grades. Im not necessarily complaining but its worrying that some students in my school (and many others) are clouded by the fact they are "geniuses" due to getting such high grades, and may pursue goals (such as A level grades) that are realistically unreasonable.

im not rly sure what to think abt my results, my parents werent too happy with the english, said i couldve done better but i know for a fact that i could not have but i guess im realieved that its not so bad. im not unhappy, but im not exstatic either. i think its cos it was quite underwhelming. but they are good grades i dunno!

i wanna go on to a levels and end up either doing business or medicine at uni

i hope everyones happy with their grades and if you are not just remeber that grades and everything and they dont reflect your true capability (even though society and many parents heavily suggest otherwise)
