An introduction:

My subjects are:
Maths - OCR
English Literature - AQA
English Language - AQA
Biology -OCR
Chemistry - OCR
Physics - OCR
R.E - AQA
Geography - AQA

My grades at the end of Year 10:

Damn good grades :biggrin: If your school is this stingy with 9s you should be quite hopeful though! It was 80% for a 9 in maths in 2017 which does seem a bit low.
I kind of hate how some schools force students to take EPQ though. A lot of universities do not recognise it. But I guess it'll boost your application so there's that.
Best of luck

I'm completely redoing my tag list, so if you want to be tagged, comment down below and you shall be tagged. If not... then I will never bother you with endless tags again :lol: :ninja:

You grades are great! Tbh I thought you were in year 12 or something. :rofl: How do you already know what unis/course. you want to do?? I'm starting year 12 and I have a list of about 30 unis that I need to look into and that's only for one course I potentially want to do. AAhdsjhagas. :frown: :facepalm: Anyways, good luck for year 11. Have you made any resourses for year 10 content yet (if not I highly reccomend you do that. :biggrin:) Tag me :biggrin:

thanks! :biggrin: yep, i think i'd be getting a 9 in R.E as i mostly get full marks on assessments, and i got 89% on my maths mock (all 3 papers combined) at the end of this year so :crossedf: :smile:
i don't think i'll mind doing it, but the problem will be trying to think of something to do it about and stick with it :lol:
thank you again :yes:
Also, love the title! :biggrin:

Good luck in Year 11 :hugs: It'll be a tough year but it's surely manageable and doable!
What does R.E. mean? I've done iGCSEs and I never saw a RE subject?
Grades looking great:u:
Oh and yeah, tag me up please :biggrin:


Religous education. Depending on your school you learn about certain religiouns. So my school did catholic christianity for 75% of the course and judaism for 25% of the course. :yep:

yep there's 2 exams (maybe 3 idk) and you have a 1, 2, 4, 5 and 12 mark question for each topic and there are about 5 topics i think?
just like a geography exam or something like that :yes:
