Hey! I tooo psych sociology and health and social care. Honestly no one cares what you wear as long as it’s clean, and no one is going to judge you. Wear whatever you’re comfortable with as long as it is in line with the dress code. But I would mostly focus on your subjects as A Levels aren’t that easy.

I assume your sixthform has a dress code? Stick to that as much as possible. This might be an unpopular opinion but I didn't show up to sixthform just to look at the girl in front of me's bra and underwear via her gym shorts. (And that personally made me uncomfortable when she did do that so don't be that person please). Most places will tell you in advance so you should have some idea of what the dress code is via a handbook or the website(?).

My general advice is wear whatever you feel best/comfortable in. You're not going for London Fashion week so don't worry about spending a shite tonne on clothes. Whilst your subjects are varied, you don't want to be sat down for multiple hours on end in the same position regretting a really itchy skirt, for example.

Idk if psychology/ your HSC has placement/work experience (ik that Pearson level 3 does) : that too will probably have a dress code and stick to that for the obvious reasons.

TDLR: be comfy, clean and presentable.

Fashion (as commented by @Peanut_Butter ) should not be the main priority.

Hope this helps :smile:

Hey I actually finished and am getting my results next week! The courses are good as long as you can remember key terms, studies and good with essays. But as well as that, you need to have a genuine instead in the subject.
