Clearing and Applications Advisor, Study Forum Helper

This thread is an opportunity for this year's Year 9s to chat with each other!

To introduce yourself we would like to know:
1) What is your favourite subject?
2) What GCSE options you are thinking about picking this year?
3) What is your favourite TV show/film?
4) What kind of music do you like to listen to?
5) What is your favourite food?

You can do this!

Hello,
I was wondering if there was a chat thread for any other grades??
Also, it would be rlly cool if we could have chat threads both for foreigners that are and AREN'T doing the British system
It would be cool but I can understand if it isn't feasible for the time being

Chat threads for different English year groups are in the process of being made, and as the Student Room is based in the UK, we tend to focus on British qualifications as that is the system most of us are familiar with. If you want a chat thread for grades/year groups in different countries then feel free to make them yourself, as you are going to be more familiar with the system 🙂

I'm an old fool so won't stick around here long, I'll leave you be. :smile:

Just want to say enjoy year nine. You'll grow a lot this year, many of you are going to be hitting puberty and suddenly Shayne has broken up with Mickaela and your snapchat streak has finished and everything is suddenly more traumatic - it's gonna be this intense for the next two years and school won't be getting easier.

My advice would be to relax. Keep breathing and remember that you've got decades longer to live and things are allowed to change.

Some of you will have chosen GCSE subjects, others will soon be making that choice. :tsr2:

is here to help. There's a sub forum for every subject here, don't forget to check them out if you get stuck.

Best thing you can do this year - befriend your teachers (not in a creepy way). If you make a good impression this year you'll find yourself in less trouble next year. Whereas if you make a bad name for yourself then staff are going to be making judgements before you've even walked into the classroom.

Have a blast, avoid the ciggies and always use protection. :wink:
