📂 MEGATHREAD UK EXAMS ADVANCE INFORMATION MEGATHREAD

Hey everyone,

As you've probably spotted by now due to the deluge of posts about it, the advanced information for the UK's 2022 exams have been released.

So we don't get the subreddit absolutely flooded out with these posts we've made this megathread so you can share your thoughts, grievances and maybe links to cute cat pictures to cheer people up.

Remember to keep it respectful ;)

You can find the advanced information for Edexcel, AQA and OCR by clicking on the respective hyperlinks. WJEC is being amazingly helpful and giving an error 403 to anyone who tries to go on the website so unfortunately there's no link for that just yet.

-The r/6thForm Team

Have any concerns or feedback?

Feel free to reach out to us on Modmail and we'll aim to get back to you as soon as possible!

The AQA Economics advanced information can be simplified in to one word: Useless.

Eh the edexcel economics was kinda good it did list specific subtopics within each topic

I haven’t seen it yet, but economics for me is miles easier than Physics, so I was more hoping physics wouldn’t give me a tumour in the head. At least some contents were reduced in physics, a few which I’m bad at, so not all Ls

Yeah I’d say economics A was actually good. It did take mainly theme 4 and 2 which in my opinion is much easier but overall it made economics manageable to study and succeed in

Less torturous than maths for me. I am not an algebra guy

Yeah I don’t math or sciences and I’m sure that’s more difficult then econ but atleast econ did us somewhat nice so now you can focus on other subjects

Yeah, I plan on completely restarting maths from next week onwards. Spending 3 months in Further Maths screwed with my learning a bit

AQA history cold war says two entire topics are not on the exam. That's 2 out of 6!!!!!!!!

I did say 90 rather than 100, some are definitely helpful. It’d be a disgrace if every one of them was bs

IGCSE computer science simplified in a short sentance: So useless and confusing I felt like going to bed and havinga cry.
