Hello tsr, I have received my AS level results and was slightly disappointed with one grade. But I will move on.


This is my study nlog

About Me:
Hey, my name is ChiefKwen this thread is for "Grow your grades" but I would like to start a little earlier this time. The main goal of this blog is to note down what I am doing to move forward with my education and apply to medicine. I will be studying A2-level subjects Biology, Chemistry, Maths and Religious Studies. I enjoy going to the gym, sports( football, basketball and any sport that involves working in a team). I also enjoy going to a debate club, poetry club, and drawing.

I also plan to record on this blog extra curricular activities done and create a new blog on a separate website.

My Grade Goals:


Chemistry A2: A*
Biology A2: A*
Maths A2: A*
Religious studies A2: A*

(18/08/16) AS results day:

Biology AQA: A
-Both exams felt similar in terms of difficulty. No heart questions so these will probably come up this year for A2 exams.

Plans to improve:
-Read more on the AS level work.-Practice writing essays for the exams.-Begin past papers.-Tutor if need be.-Attend workshops before and after school. -Read ahead if time is available.


Maths AQA: A

- I did quite badly on the C1 section but managed to redeem myself through my C2 and M1 scores.

Plans to improve:
-Practice exam questions and techniques.-Begin past papers early even if I can not fully do them yet.-Tutor if need be.-Attend workshops.-Read ahead for class work.

Religious Studies OCR: A
-Ran out of time for both papers and had to rush the 10 markers. I was worried I may not have achieved the grade I needed.

Plans to improve:-Read more on the AS level work.-Practice writing essays for the exams.-Begin past papers work early.-Attend workshops-Read more extracurricular work-Do essays under timed conditions.

Chemistry AQA: B
This was what disappointed me. I was worried I had done terribly on the first paper. But I need an A prediction in order to apply to any medical school but I am not sure if my teachers will give it to me.

Plans to improve:
-Read more on the AS level work.
-Practice writing essays for the exams.
-Begin past papers work early.
-Tutor if need be.
-Attend workshops


My Career Goals

My ultimate career goal is to become a medical doctor. I am heavily inspired by Che Guevara and his works around south america before he joined Castro.

I wish and hope that I am able get the Grades to apply to either:

University College London: A*AA
Imperial College London: A*AA
Oxford:A*AA
Leeds: AAA,
Kings College London: AAA
Newcastle: AAA

I am not sure which uni to apply to; I understand there are some way out of my reach. But after a discussion with a tutor at school and emailing the universities I will reduce my choices down to four.


So far these universities have replied to my email:
Leeds:
Newcastle:

Oxford:

UCL;


Thank you for reading.

(Edit: first picture is the response from Leeds).

Good luck ChiefKwen, hope you get your 4 A*s and I'm sure you'll get an A grade prediction, i got a B in law and I'm now predicted an A
