Hi
@Cheemgles,
Please don't stress about this, you will definitely improve over the two years.
I think one thing people definitely forget when going from GCSE's to A-Levels is that you've gone from studying around eight or so subjects to a certain level and then you go on to study three in
a lot more detail and you also learn more topics and information then you did at GCSE.
I remember in the beginning feeling really disheartened by the grades and marks I was receiving however you cannot come into A-Levels expecting to get A's from the beginning some people are fortunate to be able to do this however for some its just not possible.
For computer science I remember struggling quite a bit on this sometimes and felt like my classmates understood everything much quicker, some recommendations I would have for this subject as this is the only one I did the same. You can access Isaac computer science without having an account and then you can learn all about the different topics in detail and complete some practice questions. If your college has an account with them then you could ask your teacher if you can have an Isaac computer science workbook as I found this really useful.
Another tip for computer science is look into coding and make sure you understand the basics, however you will expand on this across the two years and learn a lot more.
Give time to improve, for my college we did tests every half term so maybe if you see no improvement then discuss with your teachers and see what guidance then can provide.
Hope that helps! Let me know if you have any questions
