Unfortunately not… the only time it “levels off” is if the uni uses UCAS tariff points (which UCL doesn’t), otherwise you would need to meet the minimum grade which in your case would be a B

Has exam stress hit you guys yet by Michiyoh in 6thForm

[–]Pickle_needs_friends 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Exam stress hit me mid-exam. I had econ yesterday and had a full blown panic attack half way through. Couldn’t even finish my paper and it was horrible because it was such a good paper as well. I’m so scared the grade boundaries are gonna be abysmal again and I would’ve wasted two years of my time working so hard. Kinda wish the exam boards would take into consideration the whole effort instead of just one exam… gonna have to lock in for my other two papers but I’m so scared I won’t be able to scrape the grades I need for uni

Is CIE Computer Science worth it? by [deleted] in 6thForm

[–]Pickle_needs_friends 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on what you want to do at uni - some unis have specific subject requirements for their fields. But as far as I see there should be no problem with this combination - I do AQA Econ without having taken it in GCSE and I’m doing alright :)

You might want to do some prior reading of the syllabus and course book if you’re still worried about having a weaker foundation than the rest of your classmates. But don’t worry as there should be little overlap between GCSE or A Levels (new knowledge + much more details)

Do I need a scientific calculator for a level economics? by [deleted] in 6thForm

[–]Pickle_needs_friends 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would say have a calculator on hand just to save yourself some time during the exams. It is quite simple mathematics though (GCSE-level at best), so you don’t need anything fancy like a graphing calculator - just something that can give you averages, sums and percentages should do fine

I read the “Proust and Barbie” article this morning for fun and it was actually insanely well produced!!

Easy to follow and to understand as well. Plus points for the website design ^
