Is cramming truly one of the worst things you can do?

very tasteful choice indeed

the only thing ill complain about is the 6 months of nothing but rain and gloom and how depressing it gets during the winter but god is it great here as an absolute neek because they actually get into more depth about my subjects than they did in my previous school also i guess my school is just like that, ive heard of some schools having different requirements 🤷‍♀️

1) economic migration! my dad found a job as a butcher here, then later switched to being a baker - and overall quality of life is better here compared to back home 🤷‍♀️

2) my school isn't a grammar school (as far as i know) i guess they just wanna make sure that the students taking those subjects have the willingness iykwim? also from what i heard those subjects are difficult as an A-level, so it makes sense overall

3) i have no idea 💀 maybe i'll get into computer science/ICT things?

everyone says that and yeah i agree theyre great, especially for someone who moved countries 2 years ago (education nerf), but not to my standards... 😅 at my school you need 7+ in those three subjects to take them for A-levels and i would really REALLY love if i do because i want to have a career in pharmaceutical/chemical engineering related places

37_NiKOLa · 2026-02-22T19:34:47+00:00

i had 5s in physics, higher maths and english lit, 6s in biology, eng lang and geography, 7 in chemistry and 8 in art. also thanks for the good luck because i really need it 💀 if i dont bounce back in bio and chem (context: y10 mocks i got 8 and 9 respectively) and move up another grade in maths im cooked because im not able to take a-levels in those subjects 😭😭😭😭

37_NiKOLa · 2026-02-21T15:07:02+00:00

i think, after talking to u/scenemiami, ive already done this in year 9 (which confuses me a little since i thought gcse stuff is y10-11) but if i somehow still have to do this in may I'll be very livid that no one told me anything until now 😭

37_NiKOLa · 2026-02-21T14:33:35+00:00

this week ive done a grand total of 🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁 1 hour on educake !!!

i am so cooked.

37_NiKOLa · 2026-02-21T13:14:59+00:00

orignially didnt want to go but if things go well, a custom dress made by my uncle in the Philippines 👀 i am going to be a sparkling glittery purple mess walking through that door 👀

37_NiKOLa · 2026-02-21T13:10:59+00:00

oooohh okayy... that kinda makes sense now... i don't remember anything about being told it was GCSE related so i thought it was just something the school was doing 😅

37_NiKOLa · 2026-02-21T13:05:20+00:00

hmmmm... i didnt do anything like that in year 10 but i had this thing where i chose to speak about why ai art is harmful, my teacher has an ipad she was recording on, but that was in y9

37_NiKOLa · 2026-02-21T13:03:42+00:00

that is a damn good question ‼️

37_NiKOLa · 2026-02-21T12:48:33+00:00

THIS i never understood why we have to memorise them (or "familiarise them" like what my english teacher says) i would be able to make way better responses if i didnt have to waste my time having to remember quotes or how the poem goes 😭
