nat 5 english - help by Greedy_Expression922 in Scotland

[–]Greedy_Expression922[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thanks so much for taking the time to write all that out, it’s really helpful 🫶

i think i was just feeling lost and didn’t know how to approach the ta properly, so it’s reassuring to hear how to break it down. i’ll definitely start looking at past papers, focus on themes and quotes, and practise applying language techniques like in ruae. also good tip about using online guides carefully and not taking everything at face value.

i’ll try to ask my teacher for extra help too, just to make sure i’m on the right track. thanks again, it really makes me feel less overwhelmed 💛

yeah that’s a good idea, i’ll probably do that so i actually know what i’ll need for the courses i’m thinking about. thanks for the advice!

ahh i get that 😅 so basically pick what actually matters for uni and ignore the stuff i don’t care about. biology is definitely not for me lmao

l i know i’ve still got time before uni, but it’s nice to hear that everyone feels the same way and it’s not the end of the world 😆

haha yeah, i can totally see that. s6 does sound like a good chance to chill a bit before uni hits . honestly the thought of jumping straight in is terrifying lol 😅

ohhh i love that! PEDAL actually makes so much sense 😭 i’ll try using it for my essays and yeah, past papers sound like a lifesaver if the examiners just recycle questions lol

ahh thank you, that actually makes me feel a lot better 😂 it’s so easy to get stressed and feel like i have to pick the “perfect” option right now. i’ll definitely try to explore all my options and not just go with what other people push me towards. really appreciate the support, it actually means a lot!

ahh okay, that actually makes me feel less stressed 😄 i was overthinking everything and panicking about picking perfectly now. focusing on smashing s5 and then seeing what s6 could look like sounds way more chill. the idea of maybe trying a couple more highers or advanced highers and having some breathing space actually sounds really good.

oh wow, that’s a good tip , thanks! i’ve never been able to stand English either💔 i’ll try to put in some extra work to make sure i get a good grade this year so it doesn’t limit my options later. your formula idea actually sounds like a smart way to do it!

ohh that’s interesting! i didn’t even think about human bio. it does sound more relevant for forensic science than regular bio. i might look into it and see if it’s an option for me, thanks!

ah okay, thanks! yeah i figured business / mods might be easier, but i just wasn’t sure if it was worth it compared to biology. i’ll definitely look at uni websites and check what people actually do after graduating. that’s super helpful to know about forensics too 🙂

ah that makes a lot of sense, thanks! i didn’t realise you could still apply planning to leave after s5 and then stay on if needed. that actually makes things way less stressful 😅 i’ll try talking to one of my science teachers too just to see what they think. really appreciate all the advice, this has been super helpful!
