a-level academic weapons (gyg) ft. emilybb 🎀 in yr12

okay so i decided to start this, mainly because i'm curious on what other people chose for a-levels after gcse!
im doing:
biology chemistry and maths (interesting combo)
at gcse, i got an 8 in bio, 7 in chem, and 7 in maths (only 2 marks off an 8)
this thread is kinda here for us to become academic weapons, through motivation (NEED) and revision tips especially if some people are doing similar subjects :biggrin:

I do biology, chemistry, maths and geography and so far I'm enjoying them mostly although I am also desperately in need of motivation as well
Good luck xx

Hi fellow year 12 🙂 I also have a GYG (Link here if you want to check it out) and take Maths, Biology and Physics. I got 9s in all three of my a level subjects at gcse and an A on OCR fsmq (covers a lot of year 12 maths content). What subject are you enjoying the most so far? Best of luck with year 12!

hii another fellow year 12 😉 it's lowkey hard to say what subjects I enjoy because for all of them, it's a love-hate relationship ☹️ BUT if I had to make a choice, i would say biology!! Also, absolute well done on you 9s on the THREE SCIENCES, WOAH! Literally, I have big respect for you cuz 1. that's amazing and 2. PHYSICS killed me emotionally, physically, MENTALLY oh my goodness, I managed to scrape a pass (that's how bad it was)
I would say best of luck in your a-levels, but i presume you're already aceing itttt
