My Road to A* everywhere

Idk. What is it ?

Literally no clue. Someone said that I had to include that in a section of my essay, so just trying to figure out what it means.

Just figured out that it means sub-paragraphs in Dutch.

What kind of grades are you aiming for ?

I'm going for around 8ish A*s, 2As and a B, although it's looking likely that the B will probably be a C instead. I'd be more than happy with anything in excess of 5A*s though :smile:

I'm aiming for 7A* and 2As but I think it is more likely that I will achieve 6A* and 3As. That lack of one A* would be down to Maths. Lol. Well just have to see how I do in the calc paper.

nice, do you know which college you would apply for?
also, where do you get the recommended reading lists from for each particular course?

There is one on the economist website I think and I asked on the forum. Idk really know which college I'm going to apply for but I've always liked the idea of going to Trinity because Jay Gatsby 'went' there. That tells you how much I know about colleges. Lol. I'll just see where life takes me.

If I'm quite honest I doubt that I will get an A * for Maths because people have said that the grade boundaries will be high but then again many people have also said that the grade boundaries will be low. So I guess my A* will be dependant on how I perform in the calc paper and also on the grade boundaries.

How realistic actually is a full set of a*?? And how much revision do you guys think we should be doing during half term because I feel like I'm slacking off big time haha

PE lmao who even cares
My practial is an E apparently :s-smilie:

Averages out at a C - hey at least I'm passing!!

PE. I see. I was meant to be doing a half qualification thing of that in school. It was compulsory for people to do it if they didn't select PE GCSE and were good at it. Long story short I got predicted an A* and then they decided to not do it in Year 11 because of cutbacks. Sweet 😡
A C is still good though. You can't be a jack of all trades.

Thanks. I'm working hard so hopefully it will pay off. I'm sure you'll get your 8A*s too even if it does include a pesky B or C.

It depends on yourself really. It depends on where you're at, how much you remember and how quick you are able to learn things.
