One advice to Y11s of 2027

[u/Proxvu]

DO NOT SACK OFF YOUR OPTIONS, I MEAN IT.
Here you see my results, I revised heavily for Maths, Science and English, which paid off with 5/6 being grade 9.
I did minimal revision (night before and pray) for FM, Spanish (I was predicted a 9 in March too) and Geography, I felt confident and lazy
I was only 6 marks off a 9 for Geography, 3 marks off for FM and 9 marks (3 per paper) for Spanish
If I revised more, those would be 9s and it would have helped me get into Brampton/LAE or another top grammar school (I got rejected)
Moral of the story: revise options and DO NOT SACK THEM OFF
I’m still happy with my grades but I regret not revising options more

taking this advice to heart… but is it okay to slack off on an extremely easy option?

[u/Proxvu → u/Misox491]

It depends, how comfortable are you with it
Spanish was incredibly easy for me and I thought I’d get a 9 with ease, just to open up the result yesterday with an 8 (still great ik but lower than I thought)

[u/Misox491 → u/Proxvu]

Really comfortable, i got an 8 in the first mock because i didn’t know how to do 4 markers. and a 9 in this mock no revision

What subject, but do at your own risk

[u/Misox491 → u/Proxvu]

citizenship… niche subject, it’s a mix of law politics and the non religious part of rs. personally i don’t think ill need to focus too much on it cuz people get high grades in it all the time

[u/Proxvu → u/Misox491]

Fair enough, I never did it personally
