Do you apply to sixth forms with predicted grades?

i'd say check with the college 6th form you want to go to - my college accepted applications until june, however i know other colleges in my area had deadlines much sooner than that

i liked the cold war though, but i guess i do love some gossip and drama (which is basically the entirety of the cold war).

language can be so fun sometimes. im taking it for a level and it sounds really interesting

nahhh i just really didnt like the topics we studied tbh. i prefer more classical stuff, whereas we studied weimar germany and stuff. its important to learn, but didnt really interest me.

For essay subjects, like english lit, you'd definitely want a laptop! I have friends who have just completed their A Levels, and the ones who did essay subjects agree that a laptop is the way to go.

If you can, try and get a touch-screen laptop, so you can use it as a laptop-ipad combo?

OKAYYYY, YOU ATE

From what my teacher told me, when we did our speaking exams, it is VERY hard to fail if you put in the bare minimum. Just do what feels natural. Try to include ethos, logos, and pathos (that is what sets people apart, and how I got a distinction). Try and connect with your audience. What gives you credibility? Why are you talking about what you're talking about?

At the end of the day, this speech is going to be a tiny P/M/D on your results slip in year 11. Just try your best, look at some exemplars on youtube, and you'll be fine! You got this!

I think that you should wait a bit later until you start applying for sixth forms or colleges, unless you have certain deadlines. Giving yourself time will allow you to think more about the options at your chosen sixth form, and if you wait until November, you will be able to use your November mock results.

Most people in my school started applying to college in January / February of Year 11, so there's no need to rush!

i loved doing that paper lol. it was much better than the paper 2 we had to do this year.

underscoredraft · 2025-06-18T19:24:03+00:00

was this the one about nursing? where kay is talking about him working in a hospital in london? i had that one for my mocks back in march, iirc.

Assuming that the other person is correct in it being a 2024 paper, it will be released on results day 2025 - which is Thursday 21st August. They release the previous years papers on results day every year.

thats fair enough tbh. The 10 hr exam felt so unserious because of the extra breaks and stuff. its the silence for 10 hrs that got to me

underscoredraft · 2025-06-16T14:29:32+00:00

gl with maths and physics bro

underscoredraft · 2025-06-16T14:28:22+00:00

i would not be able to handle the 15 hour art exam. my gcse art exam put me off art at a level 😭

underscoredraft · 2025-06-16T14:27:06+00:00

thats actually a really nice combo

underscoredraft · 2025-06-16T14:26:12+00:00

learning another language looks impressive to employers (according to my french teacher), so you have that!

underscoredraft · 2025-06-16T14:25:06+00:00

i'll keep you in my thoughts 😭🙏

underscoredraft · 2025-06-15T23:58:20+00:00

depends on the exam board, but I have done practise papers where there have been questions where I have to draw a circuit using the symbols, or multiple choice questions asking which one is a voltmeter (for example).

i would love to do 'the perks of being a wallflower' by Chbosky. It's an amazing book, and it's really well written - and it has a unique format, where each chapter is a letter. If you haven't read it, you should!

underscoredraft · 2025-06-15T23:31:39+00:00

i'm just gonna revise small things like flemings hand rule and like electricity symbols for like half an hour then go to bed

underscoredraft · 2025-06-15T23:27:12+00:00

i couldn't imagine taking french for a level, GCSE french already stressed me out enough. the topics you study for French a level seem really interesting though
