What a year we've had!
It's official, we have finally made it out of the vomit-inducing GCSEs and will now have to dip our toes in unfamiliar waters.
So obviously it would be a whole debacle without a friend to turn to and who else is better than other poor humans who have no idea who you are but are in the same situation... well this is where TSR comes in.

Omg hi Catalina, we’re doing the same subjects and I’m also thinking of CS at uni! I’ve also done CS50P during easter and I’m a really big fan of CS50 courses, I started with CS50x in 2020 then CS50AI, but it’s been a while and I don’t remember much from it lol. This is why I found GCSE CS boring like lessons on my native language. Hopefully A-level will be more stimulating. CS50 Cybersecurity and SQL is going to be released next month and I’m so excited. What’s your favourite area of CS?

1. Catalina
2. Sixth form
3. A-Levels: Maths, Further Maths, Physics & Computer Science (9s at GCSE)
4. Reading, singing, watching movies and shows, idk tbh
5. CS50p, 2 summer programmes (one online, one residential), virtual work experience; I'm looking to do more this year like books, research and stuff
6. I'm aiming for anything that will get me into uni tbh. Idk what I'm capable of since I just started sixth form but I would love to get all A*s at A-Level. Ik this is rlly hard so I'd be happy with anything that gets me into uni (probably A*A*AA). My school does AS and for AS I rllyyyy do want 4 As as it would form my predicted grades
7. Computer Science (it's so hard being a girl doing cs lol, there are literally no other girls in my class
)
8. For GCSEs I didn't rlly have a proper strategy in place although it worked out as I am very happy with my grades. This year I want to have a proper method of revising. My system will be pre-reading before the lesson; taking notes during the lesson (in a on paper for Maths and Further, school notebook for Physics and computer for CS); writing revision notes after the lesson (iPad for Maths, Further Maths and Physics and typed for CS); making flashcards at the end of the week. Since my subjects are practical, I will be doing a lot of questions throughout this process

Omg hiii! I really want to do CS50x when I finish CS50p (I've literally got 2 weeks left lol) but I am never able to find time to do it anymore. I also saw the CS50 cybersecurity course that really interested me as I love cybersecurity. So my favourite areas of CS are probably programming and cybersecurity although there isn't much that I don't like tbh (except the hardware aspect). Wbu? I've actually got my two first CS unit tests tmrw so I rllyyyy hope I do well

History
EPQ
I aspire to achieve high As/A*s in these subjects & I can not wait to share our academic journey together
My main study technique is Anki (the best flash card maker in the world) & then I do practice papers from there! This strategy proved to be very successful at GCSE and I wish to transfer this over to A Levels
Good Luck for A Levels everyone
All the best, Miya!!!
Hello Year Twelve
Just a quick message to say we've now got a directory of A-level Study Groups available
These are subject-specific threads where you can chat with other students who are studying the same subjects as you, get some support, and offer help and friendly advice
If there are any missing, feel free to create them and tag me in so I can add them to the directory.
Good luck with your first A-level year!

What a year we've had!
It's official, we have finally made it out of the vomit-inducing GCSEs and will now have to dip our toes in unfamiliar waters.
So obviously it would be a whole debacle without a friend to turn to and who else is better than other poor humans who have no idea who you are but are in the same situation... well this is where TSR comes in.
Hiya TSRers THIS IS THE OFFICIAL 2023-2024 YEAR 12 CHAT THREAD
So introductions first.
reply thread with
1. name / about yourself
2. Sixth Form / College or SFC
3. A - Levels or Btecs or other and exam boards if you know them (along with your subject grade at GCSE if you did it)
4. hobbies
5. Extracurriculars for UCAS or otherwise
6. What grades you're aiming for
7. What Uni or Course (if you know)
8. Useful Revision Techniques for yourself
but most importantly don't stress because the worst is yet to come.

HIIII Im Leila, I'm going to a Sixth Form college to study Computer Science (AQA), Physics (OCR), Maths (Edexcel), Further maths (Edexcel). I love to read, and draw occasionally but i haven't done much at the moment, been too busy. Does participating in Hackathons and challenges count as extracurriculars...? Id like an A* in maths and fm, hopefully an A in the others. I'd like to study Computer Science in Imperial, but that's a very very far fetched dream atm. I typically use flashcards, blurting or exam questions

1. Ana
2. Sixth Form
3. Biology, Chemistry, Maths (997 at GCSE)
4. Anime, reading, sometimes playing games
5. EPQ if it counts? I'll also be running a medical club in school. I also read books related to medicine along with work experience in a Pharmacy and some virtual work experience.
6. I'm aiming for A*A*A* but A*A A or A*A*A seems more realistic? That's if I try my best throughout the whole two years.
7. Ultimate aim is Cambridge but if that fails then UCL or Kings also seem like amazing options. I'll also be applying for Medicine if you couldn't already tell.
8. Icl for GCSE I mainly used the PMT notes and just memorised those. This year I'll acc revise throughout the whole year. I'll also pre-read before lessons.
Hoping that we all get along here!
