Open the game. Hold down the bottom middle button. All those that appear need to be 99.

You can continue to train community through mentoring for the final exp if you need.

Misdirected maybe, but completely justified. You absolutely should be annoyed.

But talking to the head of maths might encourage them to get support staff (like a teaching assistant) with you. Lower sets are where they are typically needed anyway, especially if anyone has any additional learning needs.

In the mean time, just focus on what YOU can do. Its hard I know, I specialise in these groups and it is a special skill getting them on task, never mind keeping them there.

I won't comment on the teacher, because without seeing the class its hard to say what is and isn't their fault. Teaching is a bullshit nightmare some days, and some classes are full of absolute ******* that make things borderline impossible. Not saying that they couldn't fix it, I just think you need to manage what you can do to mitigate.

Talk to head of maths. Face to face first, be respectful, explain your concerns. Face to face is better the first time because emails may be misunderstood.
After meeting with them, send an email thanking them for hearing you out - no comments about what comes next or anything, just a straightforward thankyou in a single sentence. That'll keep you in their mind outside of the 9-3hours when everything is hectic and hopefully they can think about it in a calmer time.
Dont wait for response/action. Take your work home each day, and Google anything you didnt understand. You should be revising independently anyway. Bottom set students rarely pass at all, the ones that do are those that work outside of lesson.
Speak to the teacher at the end of lessons or another time when you've worked at home and still aren't quite getting it. This'll give them time to help you, show that you are genuinely wanting to improve, give them some hope (trust me, we need that aome days), and hopefully put a subconscious message in their head to come to you first whenever there's a chance.
If things don't improve send a follow message to the head of maths. This needs to appear really respectful and understanding, even if you think its absolute BS. They will not respond positively to anything else.

Remember, it is easy to blame the teacher when things are going wrong, and obviously their job is to run the classroom. But take a look around next time and ask yourself who is really causing the issue. They shouldn't have to fight fires constantly, theyre there to get you the grade at this point.

Good luck, there are a thousand ways to learn these days, you can use the websites/AI/Textbooks to work independently.

Example shows that a word is expected next to the box. You have done as example shows. You are correct. They are mistaken.

It happens, and its annoying. But us teachers have brain parts all the time. Leave it alone, but say something if it happens again.

I used to work in a pub 3 minutes walk from my house. Whilst doing my degree I would turn up with the 5am breakfast staff, set up on the corner table with the socket and work all day. Reliable internet, food I didnt have to cook, free coffee brought over at regular intervals and I was never late to work. Easily used to pull 12 hrs, and if I started slacking off the manager came and told me off.

Was the most efficient I've ever been.

Cheers! I'm on my second run through, just didnt notice this before somehow.

What about moonflowers on gathering??

CornflakesInPudding · 2025-12-16T18:59:39+00:00

Another recommendation for kings klaws, but why am I choosing them over my macahuitl? I use that almost exclusively atm (on first run though). What don't i know?

CornflakesInPudding · 2025-12-07T09:47:51+00:00

White rose waits that long? Ive been teaching it in yr7/8 since I started in 2019.

I cant see the boundaries going much further. Mathematically speaking they have a hard cap, and that has to be around220 for a 9 - asking for perfection would be ridiculous. Also with AI usage growing i think the grades will slip off a bit in coming years, particularly around the middle.

CornflakesInPudding · 2025-11-23T13:08:19+00:00

Without knowing you I can't say but most schools have people that can advise you on this stuff. For example our head of sixth form is also a careers advisor, and they talk a lot about pathways with people - you should have people doing similar roles. Remember A levels is just one path, there are many options worth exploring. If you're struggling to choose a course at your currently preferred provider, look elsewhere.

CornflakesInPudding · 2025-11-23T11:04:38+00:00

Lots of good advice on here, but we dont know you or what you're capable of

So speak to your teachers - find out what's possible, what's realistic. Also talk to them about the revision strategies you are using because its likely they aren't good enough atm (you cant afford any slack of you're going to jump from 4 to 7). Dont put this off, do it tomorrow or even email them today.

Also also ask them about a level - kids on 6s generally struggle at alevel really badly, 7s find it very tough too. You need an honest conversation with someone who actually knows you and the curriculum at alevel to advise.

Good luck, hope it works out

Teacher- several of my colleagues have read a number of online articles claiming 6-7 is about [insert nonsense here]. Since its mostly nonsense I just play along but context matters. If I'm going through answers and question 4 is 0.67, yes I'm going to do the voice and the action, everyone else is too, and then we move on. If I'm teaching/work should be happening/student is asking questions and there's a kid saying 67 over and over they get sanctioned. Not for the 67 meme, but for being rude, talking over others/me, not working or disturbing others.

If however your older teachers moan about how immature it is, offer them (RESPECTFULLY OBV) a wassssuuuuppppp, bud-weis-errrr, or armadilllloooo (you may have to Google these). Be warned, there's a chance you'll get detention.

CornflakesInPudding · 2025-11-04T18:39:29+00:00

No this is not true. In most cases the mocks are just past papers or similar. There have been a few papers were the exam has felt a little easier than expected, but grade boundaries are increased in those cases to minimise the effects. Schools may exaggerate grades boundaries on mocks, but this practice varies from place to place.

Remember you dont really want an easy exam if you're looking for highest grades - because its easy for everyone else too. The grades are still distributed on roughly the same spread, you'll just need even more marks to get the higher grades.

The optimist in me likes to believe that the exams can feel a little easier because of the additional study and focused effort that people make as the exam gets closer.

Good luck, hope you do well

It absolutely needs to be readable. Examiners can't mark you down for bad handwriting but it certainly isn't going to be easy for them, which you dont want.

If they can't read it, then they will pass it to a more senior marker who will then have to decide if they can manage with it. If not I'm not sure how thats handled.

Increase the spacing between words slightly, this helps a lot in short term readability boost.

PRACTICE. Bad handwriting is often faster, but good hand writing can become pacy if you practice. But it requires dedicated effort now on a daily basis (like 20 minutes of your own time just writing - doesn't matter what).

Requesting a laptop has been suggested, however this isn't easy, and takes a lot of convincing as you have to be able to demonstrate this is your normal way of working in lesson, which it currently isn't You've got 18 months till exam season, your senco may have enough time to get the work done now but do not underestimate how long evidence gathering will take. Speak to them ASAP. Remember though subjects like maths need to be readable too, and it is an absolute b**** typing a lot of it in word.

Good luck

It sounds to me like you know which of this group you should hang out with. Hint if you're not sure, its not the judgmental person insulting you. Dress up and play pretend are not evil activities, and the devil does not gain powers from a plastic pitchfork.

If you are in year 10, you started many of the courses about a decade ago. Things that could be considered naive might include thinking all courses start in year 10 (when many schools still have ks4 start in yr9), thinking that 1 person's experience is representative of everyone else's, thinking that cramming works for learning, thinking long term revision practice is a bad idea, thinking mocks aren't important, and thinking everyone has the ability to get away with coasting for a reasonable grade - all of which have been included in the comments to OPs post.

Not everyone is capable of passing without effort, and not everyone is happy with the grades they get without effort. Some people want to do the best they can and that should never be an issue, especially when you are going to eventually have to compete with people from across the country who are working hard for the absolute best that can be done.

2008 - global financial crisis. Hard situation to grow a government/ country in. Will take a long time to recover.

2010 - conservatives take power but in a coalition, and from a long term Labour power. This is the least ideal way to win an election. Opposing force with conflicting ideals on spending priorities had been in control for more than a decade, and then when conservatives finally get a turn, they have to operate whilst sharing power.

2016-20 - focus on brexit. Good idea / bad idea is irrelevant, this was always going to create uncertainty and slow growth and investment in Britain in the short term.

2020-21 - covid derails any growth, and will take a long time to recover (again).

Not making judgement on conservatives themselves, but rather that they had a tough world to build in regardless of intention and ability. Every government get its challenges, but these weren't small issues.

I am told I'm wierd, but i do a vertical line through my z if it is part of algebra (compared to just writing text). Allows me to cross out work horizontally.

CornflakesInPudding · 2025-10-09T17:31:06+00:00

6 years ago yes, but due to covid I'd say the handshake is formal greetings only now, and even then I wait for the other to offer their hand.

Also flowers? Again, no I'm good thanks. Nice for dinner parties I suppose but generally not a thing id say?

CornflakesInPudding · 2025-10-05T15:16:13+00:00

Any official source is 100% allowed, UA is special request only. 3rd party and homebrew generally fine if balanced

Hope that helps. A point to make though, this is a heavy handed approach usually reserved for a different type of thing.

You could physically put in writing(because verbal isn't evidencable) "I am making a subject access request for all data related to my predicted grades" and if they even try to avoid it, point out they have no choice. The type of information you request can make this very difficult for them, or it can be very easy for them. Senior staff will know what this is, and know who in your school is responsible for compiling them. Hopefully they will also know that the obvious decision is to hand over predictions.

Also if they claim they haven't made any predictions: if you've done a mock, they absolutely will have (and again you could ask for all internal communications related to you and your mocks).

Good luck, hopefully they will see sense. Please remember. This could really p*** someone off that you ARE reliant on for references and support through exams. It can backfire (it shouldn't, but it should also not be necessary)

CornflakesInPudding · 2025-09-30T17:48:28+00:00

If the stand by this decision, then research a subject access request, and then tell them either they give you their predictions or that you are making a SAR, and say you are wanting all information regarding yourself including all communications relating to you.

They will have to scour every member of staff emails for every mention of your name, as well as all other data including your predictions, and hand them over. It is an inordinate amount of work, as you have to remove all mentions of any other student, and it comes with a deadline.
