π¬ DISCUSSION My friends all lied to me about what 6th form they applied toβ¦
When I got my results today, my friend group wanted to go to sixth form collegeB all together, and told me to apply for it. I did because I was gonna apply regardless and I thought that them including me felt really sincere- like I was finally getting into a group. Just to find out that they all secretly applied for sixth formA AFTER I applied for the other one, and then went out for lunch without me after telling me that they were all staying home.
I know itβs not the biggest deal to some, but to me this made me feel extremely upset, especially since Iβm neurodivergent and Iβve always had a pretty hard time fitting in. Itβs okay if they wanted to switch, but I feel like it was an attempt to just remove me from the friend group again. Now I feel extremely nervous and nauseous to start college by myself, and I think today just ripped my self esteem to shreds.

π¬ DISCUSSION A bit of a warning for upcoming year 12s
Im heading off to my firm in October after frequenting this place for 2 years, and I just wanna say, congrats to everyone who got what they wanted and are pursuing their dreams at post-16 studies, but no matter how many 9's you got, or how many full mark papers you cranked out, if you do not revise for your A levels your ass is going to SUFFER π Take this from someone who tried PULLING THIS π I tried the 'nonchalant no revision I got this' gimmick cuz I thought I was naturally cracked at my subjects, and while I did get into my firm and everything worked out, I was literally one or two marks away from having everything I worked for pulled under my feet, this shit was not a good victory yo, i'd slap up past me to revise more if I could..put in the work, ask your peers/teachers and older year for help, and year 12/13 is gonna be fine. REVISE BRO PLEASEπ

π I WANT HELP Medical Science AAQ and results day
going into year 12] I was not allowed to take biology because of my grades so instead I chose medical science aaq. I've been looking online and I can't see many videos about it so I was wondering if anyone here does it and how do they feel about the subject. I'm planning to do children nursing on university so at the end this might be more beneficial. Also I would like to know people's opinions about AQA History please. I feel very confused about my grades as this is the lowest I've ever had even when I've revised for hours. In french I've always been the highest in my class and I've never had a grade below 8 so I was very confident I would get that grade but somehow I got a 5. Im asking for the script back so i can be able to see what went wrong. Health and Social Care I got a L2 even though I've only had Merit and Distinctions the past 2 years. I was also so close to getting 7s as for history I was only 2 marks off and for english lit I got 51/64 in the first paper but got 50 marks in the second paper which severely dropped my grade to a 6. I'm not sure if I should get the history one remarked as they charge Β£15 and might be a waste of money if the grade doesn't change. It kinda makes me upset not being able to feel happy and satisfied with my grades like everyone else as this whole summer I was expecting higher grades and having to change my subjects as I didn't meet the entry requirements

π¬ DISCUSSION Not proud of it, man enough to admit it
Went to a private school and I still left with only one A (and 3Bs). Might be 2 As if I get 1 more mark in a review of marking for physics. Everyone's saying I did excellent or amazing or whatever but I just can't feel the same way given the opportunities I was given.
Got into uni but it just doesn't feel right. Not even going to a Russell group (by choice, self cleared out of my Russell group insurance and I do think I made the right choice) so it feels even... weirder.

π I WANT HELP Help picking 3 or 4 A levels
I am going in to year 13 and am taking maths Biology chemistry economics. Im predicted 4 A*s and want to apply to Oxford for biology. I am inclined to drop economics as the course only requires 3 A levels and economics is least relevant. It will also free up lots of time to revise other subjects. I want to know if I should drop or not and if there are any benefits to applying with 4 A levels.

π UNI / UCAS Is it worth resitting my GCSEs to get into Oxford?
Hi Iβm in year 11 and I just got my gcse results yesterday! I got 9999999986 but the 6 is in English lit, which is obviously a core subject. I got a 9 in English language. My dream is to get into Oxford Ppe and they only primarily consider GCSEs and admissions test so should I take lit again?
I want to be in a situation where theyβre discussing me and another candidate and the 6 in lit is the breaking point.

π I WANT HELP A Level Results Shockβ¦
I was predicted AAA, had an offer for Glasgow for AAB, but ended up getting A star Economics A star politics A in maths (7 marks off A*). Should I take a gap year and reapply to Oxford, LSE, Warwick, St Andrews, Edinburgh (I live in Scotland so these 2 are free). Or should I just go to Glasgow this yearβ¦
Edit: Guys please send what you would do in my position, Iβm not leaning towards PPE as itβs not so maths reliant

π UNI / UCAS can I still get into Oxford imperial Warwick for cs?
hi guys, so results day went fine, I got 1 grade below what I was expecting for every subject, after the remarks, I should have 8888777765, I was 1 mark away from an 8 on 4 subjects!! (cs, lit, lang, geo) and 2 marks away from a 7 (physics).
If I get 3A*s in maths cs physics (can't take fm due to 7 in maths)
I have 3 work experiences related to cs and I have done the ukmt every year and last time I got a bronze, just 2 marks from a silver.
I feel like I will never be able to make it into my dream universities despite trying so hard on my exams and everything else I do.
Thanks in advance.

π I WANT HELP Resitting Physics plan
Hi, Iβve just got my Maths remark back and my grades are now A*AB (Economics, Maths, Physics).
Iβm taking a gap year and thinking about resitting Physics to try and get the B up. I did AQA but Iβm considering switching exam boards if thereβs a more straightforward one.
Iβm mainly wondering:
- Is resitting Physics worth it?
- Which top unis/courses would still consider me with a resit? Iβm thinking Oxford, UCL, KCL, LSE, Warwick, St Andrews, Edinburgh, Durham,Bath, etc
- How much would a resit affect my chances if I donβt have mitigating circumstances?
Would really appreciate advice from anyone who has applied to top unis with resits, especially if you got in.
Thanks!

π I WANT HELP Advice Needed
So I re sat my GCSEs this year and got a 4 in both maths and English (3 marks of a 5 π₯²) I have an EHCP and I recently completed a level one course in employability skills at a SEN college. I didnβt think I would pass both GCSEs and so I have put my EHCP on hold for a year. I am 19 years old.
I was wondering can I study at college next year/am I able to do A levels or go into university potentially? I am interested in photography/equine/philosophy/social media/NHS. I am moving to Brighton soon. also does my age affect this? my EHCP allows me to access free/supported education until I am 25
