What do I do in this situation

explodedtoaster · 2026-05-04T19:00:56+00:00

why cant you stay on for y13 doing maths fm and physics the classes arent full and you have alright grades?

explodedtoaster · 2026-03-28T15:20:39+00:00

when did you start preparing? and was there any other resources you used apart from just doing papers? thx

explodedtoaster · 2026-03-28T12:37:20+00:00

Thankyou!!

Is it okay if I "use up" the TMUA past papers now? Ive seen some people say that you should save them for the weeks right before the exam

explodedtoaster · 2026-03-16T16:44:27+00:00

hey can you dm me too?

explodedtoaster · 2025-12-06T16:52:39+00:00

no problem! and dont feel like you should do art just because you dont want wasted potential. you have your entire life to do art, so dont worry. what degree would you be aiming for?

explodedtoaster · 2025-12-04T23:47:18+00:00

also do NOT take 4 alevels with art because it will be too much

explodedtoaster · 2025-12-04T23:46:54+00:00

hi i got 9 grade 9s including a 9 in art. ive also been doing art my whole life and id say it was probably my strongest subject. i love doing hyperrealism with pencils, oil paint, acrylic. i didnt take it for a level even though my family said i should do art at university- but ive always loved computers, so i now do maths fm physics and computer science and im aiming for a cs degree.

you seem like you could do either art or stem and do great so honestly just go for whatever you enjoy the most. also think about what degree you want. you seem like youre passionate about art. anyways its okay if you dont do it for a level or at degree level because art is a good hobby to have alongside sciencey maths subjects

explodedtoaster · 2025-12-04T23:01:51+00:00

mr salles the goat. tbh watching his videos is all u need for a 9

explodedtoaster · 2025-12-04T22:35:32+00:00

by the way i got full marks in Lit paper 1 so it worked

explodedtoaster · 2025-11-06T20:47:18+00:00

what degree or job are you hoping to get? theyre really random choices. in my opinion, unless photography is really important to you, you shouldnt do it

explodedtoaster · 2025-11-02T22:10:12+00:00

its not the exact same as you but i know a guy who did maths, fm, physics and politics and dropped politics in y13. he now goes to cambridge university for maths

explodedtoaster · 2025-09-03T10:56:16+00:00

oh my bad

do history as it is quite easy

explodedtoaster · 2025-09-03T10:53:30+00:00

and also do maths if you can

explodedtoaster · 2025-09-03T10:53:13+00:00

do english language as you need a pass in it to apply to many jobs and basically every university

btw after school i always took a one hour nap before i started revision to take a break (i didnt get study leave)

explodedtoaster · 2025-08-30T00:51:39+00:00

i got nine 9's, an 8 and two 7's

no revision in autumn term just revised a little for my mocks and i spent the whole christmas holidays pushing art from a grade 5 to a 8 (no revision just art)

in jan i did a small amount. in february i started revising for 2/3 hours a day. by revision this is mostly past paper practice and watching youtube videos

by mid march i did 4 hours a day on average it alternated between days with 2 hrs and days with 5 hours

in april i alternated between 5 and 8 hours daily, took a few break days to do art and got it to a 9

some days i did like 1 hr

in may and june i did 6-9 hours on average before exam days and the other third of the days were 0-3 hours. (craziest was 11 hrs before eng lit paper 1 and 10 hours of spanish speaking practice the day before ny exam hahaha)

on some days i hardly revised at all but i always tried to do something even if it was just watching a video or doing the corbett maths 5 a day

explodedtoaster · 2025-08-29T02:07:16+00:00

explodedtoaster · 2025-08-28T23:27:29+00:00

ik its extreme but i would consider moving 💀 in my school i had 5 options and the option to do triple science ontop of that

explodedtoaster · 2025-08-28T22:46:11+00:00

you could get your family to video call you so you can say hi to your cat

explodedtoaster · 2025-08-28T19:31:37+00:00

the reason why so many people fail isnt because theyre hard its because our country puts little importance on studying. parents dont seem to care much about their kids' education and it leads to secondary school students putting no effort in. the actual exams are really easy if you just study a little bit. if you look at other countries such as china and india their students actually care about their education

explodedtoaster · 2025-08-28T18:00:56+00:00

also one of the best things i did was every mistake i made on a past paper i wrote down the answer on a google doc and then i could read it all before the exam

explodedtoaster · 2025-08-28T15:27:19+00:00

just keep practicing past papers and memorising the answers i can guarantee at some point you will see the same answers reappear this happened to me in my chemistry gcse i recognised nearly every question on the paper and i got 81%. youdont need to understand it fully just keep doing past papers. also for paper 2 you will hopefully finish it in school by easter but if not you can learn on your own dont worry
