I got 13 A*s AMA

I meant for each subject. which exams boards?
Congrats btw

What I suggest is to make a revision timetable. Ideally you should cover each subject under half a week. This is achievable without being an anti-social zombie haha! Try finding the specification of your exams, and just follow it. This would really reduce the time spent revising pointless things. There's not much really to learn at GCSE, it just seam a lot because of lengthy revision guide. I manage to summarise each subject in a couple of pages of notes


What do u mean cover each subject in less than a week? Lol,that's a joke!

Don't worry. I just did my A levels and got 4A*. The jump from GCSEs to AS is not very high (I understand they're changing the system haha). I actually found GCSEs easier than AS because I only did 5 subjects (that I enjoyed!!!) at AS as opposed to 11 at GCSE. A2 is definitely harder, especially for subjects like maths, further maths and chemistry.

Now I'm off to Trinity College, Cambridge for Economics haha. Looking back at my GCSEs, that was the turning point...more and more exams from then on
I've been lucky that I've never dropped a grade in any of my exams, even when I feel that an exam goes terribly.

Congratulations on your results. I do find it strange that you were asked to prove it by uploading the proof..... clearly some people have issues/insecurities about their own grades. Anyway good luck with your future studies ☺

Would you really count 'citizenship' though?

still classed as a GCSE, still gives me credits, still an achievement (to me anyway)

omg what you're going to Cambridge!??? You're the first person who I have heard got straight A*'s at a level. I'm so happy for you!!! Now I know it's possible. Well done man!

What percentage is an A* and why did you do so many exams?

There's always that one who tries to put another man down...



I asked for your revision tips for uni earlier
Looking at them, you'll go far kid...
I personally didn't do as much work as you. I left it quite late and only started revising in Easter (A2 exams are in June), but I didn't ever miss school and had a good memory of all my lessons. So that worked for me.

Something you missed out though were past papers. I did loads of them for A level. I did every paper from 2007-now twice. Past papers are extremely important when revising for A levels. Although I started revision quite late, I did around 10 hours worth of papers every day (with various breaks in between). Some call it cramming, but I call it HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training).

Well I can be the second but I got rejected by Cambridge.
To be honest I found A Levels nicer than GCSEs in a way...the exams are harder, the concepts are harder, but you're gonna be doing 4 rather than 14 and it's so much easier to remember the content as there isn't the same subject breadth and really there is going to be less to learn overall even if it is more in-depth. With your GCSEs straight A*s are very obtainable.

ah that's nice to here sorry you got rejected at cambridge, what uni do you go then?

I'm not sorry tbh, I couldn't have handled the course (maths). I'm starting at Warwick in October.

well done! Warwick is amazing, i've read about it! Have a good time there and good luck!
