What were your grades like during year 12

i do chemistry alevel and year 13 is much harder than year 12, if you are able to keep up with A's and B's, you'll be fine

We are doing year 13 content for both chemistry and biology because we haven't been able to do many practicals. What was your hardest topic for chemistry?

I haven't done that topic yet but I it sounds hard from what I saw online
If you don't mind me asking, what have you gone onto studying if you went to uni?

I want to get an idea of what people ended year 12 on, specifically in biology, chemistry and geo.
I enjoy chemistry the most and am getting A's and B's in the exams we've done so far. Is there a lot of potential to improve from year 12 to 13 or is it slow?

A lot of people do not do as well as they wanted in year 12, shouldn't worry as people pick it up in the summer and do better in year 13 and get a good final grade, some of my friends got E's and D's in year 12 but they worked really hard in the summer and got B-A* in yr 13 mocks

That's such a large jump from a D! I hope I can improve as well

Wow thanks I'll continue to work hard then, I was planning on going over topics in the summer so I enter year 13 refreshed
