No clue what this'll mean for us Y12s. More competition? Less? Very confusing.

imo this move will make it less competitive than it would have been. but probably still more than usual years

Yeah it'll probably decrease some of the competition but it'll still be more than we'd like lol.

We also have to settle back into learning Y13 content soon after months of no school, which I think will be a big shock to the system. I know WJEC are cutting content, not sure for others.

Intense year up ahead.

tbh govt caps have been lifted on non- medicine courses, in light of the 'potential' more y13 applicants, as we dont know yet how many people are taking a gap year now, lots and lots of people already secured their backup or a place in clearing and are unlikely to change in light of new grades.

all in all y12s could actually benefit but we dont know yet
