Hey there!
I am studying Politics, Economics and German as i wanted to study law when i chose them. I am now aiming for something biomedical related so will be fast-tracking chemistry and biology after year 13. Courses that interest me are Biomed and Neuroscience, I might apply for medicine.

My favourite food varies but i had a really good Lahmacun the other day do probably that. I am looking forward to being more independent and studying what i am passionate about. My hobbies are working out, cooking and playing games. I am also interested in politics and like playing with my dog.

Hello there! I'm zeasea and I study chemistry, physics and maths. I also teach myself AS further maths. I'm planning on applying to a mix of Computer Science and Computer Science/Mathematics courses. I do have to do TMUA for the University of Cambridge, along with CSAT if I get an interview. I'm terrified, lol.

Hi, I'm Anna and I'm studying biology, chemistry, and maths. I am doing an EPQ. I'm applying to medicine but not too sure what unis to apply to. My hobbies are singing and cooking. I am also quite interested in neuroscience so might as well put that as a backup.

Hello everyone! My name is toothysmiles and I'm taking Biology, Chem, Further Maths to study dentistry at university.

I am currently into Lana Del Rey, Seventeen and Ateez so the playlist is a little confusing....

Took my UCAT this summer so no more entrance exams, SLAY! (Also saw a TikTok that saying slay is cringe but my personality is so ironic and I deeply enjoy doing things that make me happy so I'm reclaiming the word)

I love drinking tea so much it's ridiculous - I'm loving a jasmine cold brew atm... Also a big fan of Kinder Buenos...

After Year 13 I want to go on a European roadtrip with my friends... We'll see...

My hobbies include being delusional and saying words. Not sentences just words and it's really fun. I love talking at people...

Good luck to everyone, let's all be happy and healthy (I have a cold 🤧)!

Question (from an Australian): I know Year 13 is the final year of school for English students, but when does it start and end? It's very odd to see the same age group as me just starting when I'm 2 months away from finishing.

We start A-Levels in September and graduate in August. Say if we start in September 2022, we would graduate August 2024. :smile:
