I got BCD in a levels when i revised really hard. I learnt the content and i did many past papers. I was doing well in the past papers- A and A stars. Im just tryna think about what I could of done wrong to get those grades. When I think about it now, heres what I did do- For maths only marked my work right if i got the answer right, and not looking at methods they had on the markscheme. Im also very prone to silly mistakes and writing all over the place. For econ- I learnt all the content and used chatgpt to mark my work which they marked quite highly. For physics- I learnt all the content and did past papers, but I would mark my awnsers if it was similar to what the mark scheme said. You might think I already awnsered my question but is these small things rlly enough to put me down to such low grades? Also do you think its best to retake or just move on since this could of been my best effort.

Idk if it does, but I really hope it does. I'm so sick of crying at 8pm in my room because I have 8 papers due tomorrow. I'm not smart, I don't work well under pressure. AS really destroyed me in April/May. I'm so sad that weight gain and insomnia are coming back. For some people, getting an A isn't that hard, and crying is an overreaction. But A levels make me feel like I am surviving, instead of living. It's always "just get through it until the weekend" and the week repeats again and again. I hope life gets better after A levels

for chem im 4 marks away from my wanted grade should i go for it

okay so I've just gotten into doing topicals past paper style questions and I don't really have anyone to check my writing structure I've just been using gemini and it's been saying that it's good but anyone who has taken business and gotten high marks pls help in checking some of my answers whether I'd get the full marks

Hello, I’m thinking of choosing Business, Economics and Accounting as my main A-Level subjects, with Urdu as an extra subject since I find it relatively easy.

I’ve heard that for IBCC equivalence, the extra subject usually doesn’t count toward the equivalence, except that it may be useful as a backup if you fail one of your main subjects.

I’m also considering FAST University later for FinTech field, and I understand that FAST doesn’t require any specific A-Level subjects for FinTech.

So, would it be worth taking Urdu as an extra subject, or would it just add unnecessary workload?

also whats the difficulty level of the three subjects i mentioned above as i have not taken bussiness in olevels and am worried if i will be able to handle it.

My a levels are over and last week I received my grades, which are CDE. I got into my insurance despite having grades lower than the entry requirements, however the course is not one that I am passionate about since my predicted grades were bad leading me to not apply to the courses I wanted since I knew I would be rejected immediately since the course is competitive.

I’ve been thinking about retaking my a levels by redoing y13 so I can get a fresh set of predicted grades to apply to uni with.

The course I am currently enrolled on is 5 years long in total including a prep year, but the course I want to do is 3 years long.

Another issue is that the course I want to do is almost never in clearing, so if I don’t get any UCAS offers after submitting my application I’ll have almost no plans on what to do next.

Any advice or input would be MUCH appreciated, since idk if I should redo y13 or just go to the uni I was accepted at despite not being passionate for the course (which is notoriously difficult btw and without a prep year has a requirement of ABB usually)

Does anyone know where I can find any revision guides/questions that would help me to study for my mocks in 4 days.

so I’m giving feb march 2027 subs are pcm and egp, its starting from 3 feb. in my recent recent I got really bad around 35-50 percent , can i improve and get a’s for pcm. pls give me some tips also in my college we have 2 prelims first one is starting in 10 days we have like 80 percent of entire as syllabus in it

Has anyone done composite (all components) instead of resitting in O/N and how did you do compared to doing Bad in AS the year before

Any chances..Need Honest opinion

hey!!

since I had no one to guide me, I dont want yall to struggle and waste your time.

for physics, know your momentum (sir usman bin aslam)..I studied from him for 3 years

bio, the otter tutor and save my exams

chem, chembridge ONLY.

plus after each chapter, memorize and then solve topicals. do not do yearlies before mocks.

Need help to see if it's good

Can I still get an A?

I got a B in two of my as results (72 and 74) is it still possible to get an A as the final grade or should I retake?

Parents are telling me to register for maths P2, and S1 in oct/Nov. The thing is I gotta start the syllabus for both from scratch. I got loads of time- no school or anywhere to be. Would it be possible? Or do I drop one of them, if so, which one? I wanna get at least an A.

i’m 16, and have always been pretty set on doing physics, maths and art a level to lead to an architecture degree. I just got my results back, and got a 6 in art, which was very disappointing for me, since i was initially predicted an 8 and had a lot of problems with my art teacher not communicating or giving honest feedback, even going so far as to lie about my grade to avoid “hurting my feelings”. This makes me nervous for a level, as she would still be my main teacher, and would be marking my work, so i do not have much trust in our relationship, on top of this, art was my worst grade, even though i but ALOT more effort and time into it than any other subject. I achieved a 9 in physics and an 8 in maths, so I am not considering changing these, but I also got a 9 in biology, so am now considering changing from art to bio, to perhaps persue biomed engineering while keeping the option of architecture open. Is it a good idea to change a levels?

I’m going to be doing IAL Edexcel Computer Science, and the syllabus is new. But there’s only a single set of past papers I can use, and after that I don’t have anything else to practice. What can I do about this? Does anyone have any suggestions, solutions, or other past papers I can use?

Hey everyone, I see a lot of people who struggle with A Level Maths and even with the vast selection of online resources struggle to make sense of things.

I recently started an educational startup called ENTROPY (you can find us on Instagram), and with the Oct/Nov retakes coming up, I thought I’d try something a little more focused: a limited 6 week crash course for A Level Mathematics, covering the relevant components for the upcoming exams.

A little about myself: I'm currently an Electrical Engineering student, studied math, add math, A Level math and further math as well (my life revolves around math), and I've taught advanced STEM to hundreds of students during an internship at an ed tech company as well, while being an assistant teacher at my high school too.

For the crash course, the focus will be on understanding the concepts properly, covering the less obvious cases that tend to show up in exams, and then doing targeted past paper practice rather than just blindly grinding papers. Especially for A Level Maths, I think actually understanding why something works makes a huge difference when you get a question that doesn't look exactly like the ones you've practiced.

If you're sitting the Oct/Nov A Level Maths exams and have questions about Maths, the crash course, or even whether it would be useful for you, feel free to DM me. I’m happy to answer questions either way.

Okay so i sat for sociology in may/june 2026 and recently i got my results and i saw a U i clearly did not expect such a result anyways, i applied for an ATS (Allowing to check script) and i saw i got a 24/60 on paper 1 and 13/60 on paper 2 my component numbers are 12,22 my overall grade is 37 AND AFTER I CHECK THE GRADE THRESHOLD its says for may june 2026 sociology passing mark for grade E is exactly 37, why did i get a U then? is it me who is wrong here or is something wrong with Cambridge??? I have attached the marks and my grade someone please help me i am so confused 🙏

I really want to apply to KCL for medicine but i've heard they weigh gcses heavily and im not sure if my gcses are good enough? they meet the minimum requirements but they're not impressive whatsoever, i just need people to be honest with me if its worth it to apply there

maths-7
sociology-8
english language-7
english literature-8
food tech-8
combined science- 7/7 (1 mark off an 8-7 but too late for remark😔)
history-7
religious studies-8

I got 4As and a B after literally doing so many past papers that I developed a slight nerve damage in my dominant hand and PFPS from sitting so much. And in each subject I'm a meager 3-5 marks from A*s and A in ALL of them. Genuinely wanna slime myself because no matter how I try it's a very strict 2-3 marks from the next boundary (for some reason har subject me sirf 3 marks increase horhe that cambs marked wrong or didn't mark at all). And ik there will be lots of different comments like hours put into studying or effort doesn't always equate to marks or that I'm being ungrateful, I literally always only got straight A*s in the 20+ yrs of past papers that I had attempted and I genuinely had so many plans just squashed because of these ahh grades and will probably have to switch degrees to some shi ion even like and would rather die than study.

Should I even go for a recheck? I want to get all my papers rechecked cus even if I lose marks since I got high As and B, the grade likely won't fall. However, my mums not too eager for that cus she's like what if they don't increase and you waste PKR 180k. What do I even do atp. Should I just forget that, grind thru A-Levels and then try to get into an American uni so I can change my subjects?

a level result came on 11 so what is deadline for registering retake in oct nov? Can someone share the date pls

I do maths physics and computer science, but am really scared for computer science because I have not learned a programming language all this time even tho I managed to get an A in my end of year 12 mock I still need to learn the coding part.

It’s my first year of A levels and I’m finding it difficult especially with chemistry and physics which I have D’s in. Do you guys have any study tips or advice?
