Getting A*AA Wattever it takes! A Y13 GYG

Welcome to my 4th GYG blog! :biggrin: (Shoutout to Sinnoh for the title inspo!)

I'm Laura and I'm heading into Y13 and doing Maths, Further Maths, Geography (all AQA) and EPQ :u:
I'm hoping for A*AA(A in EPQ), maybe A*A*A to get into Oxford but I'm not fussed really :colondollar: We don't know our predicted grades due to Covid, but :crossedf: for something around this mark!

I'm feeling pretty okay about starting this year, obviously it's going be a weird one, but we should be getting guidance about what our exams are going to be like soon (hopefully!) which will alleviate some stress :grin:

For my GCSEs I got a 9 in maths, and 8s in everything else: English lit (AIC, Macbeth, ACC and Power+Conflict poetry) English lang, triple science, r.e, geography (AQA), music)

Am going to be applying for a Mathematics degree (maybe with a placement year if Covid allows?). So far I'm thinking about Oxford, Nottingham, Loughborough and York :beard:

This year I'm hoping to get my grade 6 cello completed, complete my Gold DofE, carry on running and generally doing sport and generally look after my wellbeing :h: Also to absolutely smash this year :dumbells:

I hope you have a great year :hugs: Please say if you want to be tagged!

I would say be prepared to not get A*s in everything straight away, A-levels are a bit of a jump - but with time, you can definitely do it :yes: Try to understand as much as you can as you go along, especially for further maths where you'll be introduced to many new concepts straight away!
Practise, practise, practise! :biggrin:

Hullo, I'm relatively new to TSR so I don't know how these threads work, but plenty of people seem to want to be tagged so could you tag me too? (dunno what for, guess I'll find out). I'm also going into y13 too btw

basically in their next post OP will tag you so you directly get notified, rather than having to check the thread yourself for new posts x
