Add Maths FSMQ - it doesn't have an A*; an A is the maximum grade. I had a heart attack when I saw it on my results slip until I realised.


You smart man lol

13 A*’s can pretty much get you into any Russel group universities for any course lol

The grade boundaries are low because the exam papers are really difficult.

I got 12 between A* and B and then one C.

Although without looking at my CV I couldn’t possibly say how many of each grade or what subjects. GCSEs are largely irrelevant.


Ahhh, old spec?

A*’s still good, don’t you remember what the C was in?

Not really, you need to know how to think like an examiner and know what the mark scheme wants. It relies heavily on good exam technique.

I hope! I've only heard back from one university though. C**bridge hasn't sent me anything about interviews, so I don't know.


Damn, for which course? I’m assuming maths ?

I was anxious when I was younger like 18, 19 but when I was learning to drive and we used to fill up my instructors car with petrol he used to send me in to pay so it helped my confidence rise

That’s it really. My revision technique for biology was pretty unique and would probably be discouraged by a lot of people, but it worked for me :smile:
Just stick to what works for you.
I haven't yet done my gcse's any tips for studying?
