My uni started using Microsoft teams too - your classes don’t have to be split if they aren’t originally planned to be so. The teams meetings can allow a large number of people in so you’ll most likely have everyone in your class with you at the same time (for better or worse haha)

ooh i see! thanks for the heads up :smile:

thank you!! yeah, i have no idea, most likely not - i'm gonna put this down to a two parter (end of year 13 = a* hahaha), i think it just sounds better for my title?

Makes sense, yes it does :lol:
I’ve just always been confused about the whole thing

me too! it's a strange expectation, makes you wonder if the a level system is actually not that great?

Just FYI, you can’t get A*s at AS level but like you can get A*s in Year 12 (if that makes sense), like you can’t get A*s if you do AS exams but most schools will give you A*s on internal exams (if you do well enough obviously:tongue: )

Also @bookausten I’ll send you how to link a post in about 20 mins or so, I just need to power up my laptop :smile:

Good day!

Sorry if the flashy first post bothers anyone haha, I like the first pages of anything to look neat :,) (because they will undoubtedly get messier as we progress.)

Sixth Form Prep
Until Thursday, I'm pretty much just preparing for my first couple of days. We got an email about new safety measures, and the one way system will either be super easy to navigate, or will cause me to get lost so quickly haha
I have completed all the bridging work (just), but I think I need to do some extra just to keep me sane (not much!)

Spoiler




Other than that, I'll just need to do some folder organising (I have the cutest mini planner! I know studying isn't all about the aesthetic, but it certainly helps!) Additionally, I hope that all of these exclamation points don't come off as too loud, I think I'm just a very excitable person. (<- that just looks rude to me!) Thank you to everyone who has replied already, you've got some amazing tips!

I'm definitely looking forward to Thursday to get to know everything at a new school, meet form tutors, etc. We're going to be using microsoft teams somehow as well -- I'm just wondering if that means classes will be split or something?

So to get a specific link to a post (assuming you are using the website and not the app) is to click the post number in the top right hand corner (allow the page to refresh and then copy the website address at the top). The link in the spoiler below is for post #19 (which I am assuming is the one you are after - but you now know how to do it for future ones :smile:).
