thinking of applying for medicine but worried that I won't be able to handle everything like ukcat, ps and revision.Has anyone went through this also??
okay thank you, but do u think it's better to take gap year?
When will you be doing AS levels and UCAT? If you are not confident that you will do well in AS levels then maybe take a gap year? It depends on how likely you will get at least BBB-AAA grades and how ur school does predictions

Yes, absolutely possible. Work hard and do lots of questions - exam technique is the key to higher grades after you have learned your spec inside out. Make sure you ask your teachers for help if you need it and really go over your syllabus and consolidate your facts and concepts. And repetition!! - don’t just go over something once and think you know it. Good luck!

my school is basing predictions from exams in early September, so I know the grades I get in that exam are going to be my predictions and the ucat dates haven't been announced. I'll probably have to start my personal statement soon too.the grades CDE were in my class test.I've looked at a few uni's like Newcastle and I'm eligible for partners so I can get in at grades BBB but I'm worried that it will be risky to do everything then get bad predicted grades.

Since your school doesn't increase your predicted grades from exams then if I was you I would just focus on AS exams and take a gap year! Better to get good AS grades then bad AS grades and bad UCAT. Also you could do work experience next year which will strengthen your application.
If you use your time wisely for the next 3 months you should be able to just scrape 3 A'S but no procrastination ofc. My school predicted me an A* even tho I got a B at AS so... maybe
