The Current Year 13 Chat Thread (2020-2021)

I posted a link about this a while back, basically it is unofficially confirmed that Scottish GCSEs are going to be cancelled

Nothing about a levels?

Hi! I’m Laura
> What are your hobbies/interests? I play a couple of musical instruments (not very well ), a few sports and I do church bellringing

> What are you currently studying? Maths, further maths and geography (all AQA) and the dreaded EPQ

> What grades do you hope to achieve? I mean A*A*A and A in EPQ would be the dream, but realistically I think all As would be the limit!

> If applicable, what universities/courses are you applying for? Maths maybe Nottingham, Loughborough, Oxford if I’m feeling brave

> How are you feeling about this year? A bit terrified ngl, I don’t feel prepared or grown up enough for Y13 and university stuff

> Got a GYG (grow your grades) blog? I’ll update this when I start my blog in a few days time, it will be my 4th

there are boys near me watching football and I can't find my headphones. Send help

i can't help but maybe nyan can

Just had my maths mock
majority of it was ok but there were quite a few questions I couldn't do ugh so I made it up 😂

I have a feeling they gave us the aqa 2019 AS paper. but they removed the date so I dont actually know lol

Grade predictions?

Hmmm, it looks like we aren’t doing A levels this year boys... they’ve already been cancelled in some areas I’ve heard

literally no idea
I am hoping for an A but more realistically a B

Haha very similar to me!
Hobbies - as you said, i play some musical instruments (though I do go to a junior conservatoire 😂)
currently studying - maths further maths classics (edexcel for the maths, ocr for classics)
grades - hoping for A*A*A although Im having my UCAS predicted grade exams at this very moment, so i'll update if that changes at all 😂
courses/uni - Maths as well! Im hoping for Oxford if these exams go to plan and my school can bring themselves to predict me A*A*A , but then Im also looking at Warwick, UCL, Lancaster.. and then maybe Glasgow to do maths with classics?
How am I feeling...? - Lowkey hope our exams get cancelled but also these exams go to plan, so that I can just sail away to Oxford I am insanely nervous though, seeing as I honestly didnt do much work during lockdown
And no, no blog

Did you do past papers before hand ?

Got my first topic test coming up on Nuclear Physics yayyyyy, tbf the topic isn't hard so its chill
