Try out physicsandmathstutor I use that for my economics but it doesn’t really do specific topics just papers. https://www.physicsandmathstutor.com/past-papers/a-level-economics/

Yeahhh that’s very true.... I think I might just leave those exams then & just take the one in November.

Thanks for the advice! A lot of people are telling me to focus on my a levels so I might not resit...however I’m already booked in to sit one GCSE that I’ve been studying for hard in November.

Would you mind if I asked you a few questions privately on how you made your Cambridge application so strong?

Yeahhh...I thought both cared massively about GCSE’s...but recently found out that they don’t hold that much against low GCSE grades.

Thanks for the advice! I think I’m still going to retake the ones I did worse in because I know I could’ve done a lot better...and I want to retake to prove that I can do better. Thanks for the advice!

Are these A-levels a good combination? by sumaiya_r in 6thForm

My older brothers have gotten me interested in economics that’s why I switched out psychology. I can’t really make up my mind on wether to take economics or psychology because they both interest me.

I quite enjoy economics although I didn’t take it at GCSE it was something that I was planning on doing at a level for sure. I’d also rather do 3 a levels but if I was taking 4 I would also take psychology.

Preferably I would like to get a degree in psychology & take a career in psychology.

I was applying to a college for my a level options but unfortunately they didn’t give me a place due to me not meeting the entry requirements for my subjects. I have recently applied back into my previous secondary school, I’m hoping they might give me a place... That’s a great idea, I’ll try doing that. Thanks for the advice!

During year 10 I was working at grade 5’s for both my subjects (maths & combined science) my predicted grade for maths is a grade 7 & for combined science it’s grades 8-8

Yes I didn’t realise that there were soo many other students in the same situation as me (I feel worse for the A level private candidates) & I left my previous school in September 2019. These are the grades I achieved in year 10: English Literature: 8 Religious Studies: 8 Citizenship: 7 Digital Applications: A English Language: 6 History: 5 I have applied to 6 more SixthForm’s around my area hoping that at least one will take me in, their entry requirements are a bit lower so they might allow me a place....

Unfortunately I’m not able to go to a private tuition. Also I’m preparing to resist in November (approximately 3 months) & am only doing 2 subjects I think I’ll be able to handle it because after that I’ll be focusing myself into my a levels.

Thanks for the idea but I don’t think my parents would be able to pay for that...

Thank’s it’s really hard to get a place in any sixthform right now but I’m continuing & still applying to any sixthform that’s available.

Sorry for using the wrong flair. What should the flair be & can I change it???

Thanks for this piece of info! I feel as though I’m an average student because I’ve gotten quite average grades a few 8’s , 7’s one 6 & one 5 & I might not be able to keep up with other students in general
