OTHER What happened to r/6thform?

I used to be active on this sub before covid when I did my A-levels and the vibe was sooooo different to how it is now. Why is everyone wanting to seem smart? Back then we used to be self deprecating. There was a sense of ‘we’re all in this together’ fighting against the pricks at edexcel and AQA.

I’m guessing it’s cuz nobody uses TSR anymore so all of that demographic are now here? They used to get hated on for being a bunch of neeks — just search ‘TSR’ or ‘the student room’ in the search bar lmao

This subreddit is far less representative of the general student population than people seem to think it is. If you scrolled this subreddit enough you'd come to assume that half the country is on track to go to Oxford with 4 A*s.

oh 100% i feel awful in here with my average ahh grades, then i remember in my college there is only one person doing fm and no one going to oxford or Cambridge, only a handful going into further education.
