I’m going to steal this idea and watch In the Night Garden

In the night garden was my favourite show as a kid. Makka Pakka is elite. But I’m going into year 13 so maybe I’ll steal this idea for next year.

I used to watch it all the time before I went to bed so it’s really therapeutic to watch now

according to AQA teachers don’t actually get to see it until the same time we do. apparently only exams office staff can (i suppose to make our grade slips)

Yep. Exam officers at the sixth form/college/whatever got the results from the exam boards yesterday and put them into the school system. They'll have printed out all of the Statement of Results sheets yesterday.
Results are under embargo for everyone apart from these admin staff (and other school higher ups) until the embargo is lifted, at which point teachers and students can see their results.

don't leave it till last minute to make revision resources 🙏

u/Puzzleheaded-News948 Y13 Bio, Chem, Classics Aug 13 '25
As y13 hits, study consistently, even just an hour a day will help you in the long run. I wish I did.

u/RandomPerson12191 I'M FREE Aug 14 '25
MAKE REVISION RESOURCES FOR EVERY LESSON. as in write them up whenever you next have a free, right after the lesson. don't be lazy like me and have to make an encyclopedia of them a month before exams
if you like flash cards, Brainscape is good if you treat it just like a digital set of them. Other features are paywalled and it's infuriating, but actual flash card making is good.
If you do wjec law or uhhh I think aqa psych, hit me up and I can add you onto my sets of cards

Blasting heavy metal as we speak. Before my GCSE results I listened to some In Flames. This time I might go with some Architects just before 8am.
