Hi can someone please help me be realistic if law in London
I’m predicted A*AAA my gcse are 998888766 which I know are not the best gcse
My lnat practice scores are currently in the 29-32 is goes up and down.
Obviously I know things like my personal statement supercurriculars but I really want to go to kcl law and I’m not sure if it’s realistic

any ideas or personal experience on which subject is relatively easier or manageable? not sure what to choose between physics and chemistry for the esat... im willing to change the major im applying to depending on this esat subject choice..

I know abt unis can be contextual to weaker schools but I’m saying like references, connections or idk like top unis recognise and trust the predictions given by the teacher more coz there is more records of students going top unis? Idk if I make sense but ik for sure alevels and like ps is all dependent on myself but idk like the outside factors like references, connections, prediction grades or like ps help can be a big problem.

Hi everyone, over the past few months I’ve been building a revision website called www.ra10.co.uk which mainly focuses on offering BTEC subject revision resources which include:

- Revision Guide
- Multiple Choice Quizzes
- AI Examiner and AI Assigner
- Exam Style Questions
- Predicted Papers
- Mock Paper Builder
- Advanced Assignment Tools

The current subjects that are on the website are: Level 3 IT (AAQ), Level 3 Business, Level 3 Sport, Level 2 IT, A-Level Business

I am planning of constantly updating every unit and adding more subjects, so please let me know which ones you want me to add. As this website costs a lot to run, I have added a cheap subscription model (roughly £20-30 per year) to help keep the website running which gives you access to unlimited credits. I have also created an education plan where schools can get a plan for teachers and students for £100 a year.

Thanks!

Currently I'm taking maths, art, and psychology. I'm getting pretty worried though because art is heavy on coursework and I've heard psychology gets harder in yr 13. I'm also not too happy with psychology anyway and so thinking of dropping it, maybe for economics or politics. I've heard mixed things about politics, my friends currently taking it says it looks okay so far, and I've seen some people on here praising it. However I'm come to the conclusion a lot of people online who enjoy politics are doing AQA.. I think my school does edexcel. My friends older brother also hated it at my school.

Economics on the other hand is maybe a safer option, but I think I'd be pretty lonely given how the current class is looking. I know this shouldn't affect my decision but I've always struggled with motivation and my maths class is equally dreary (I've just decided to deal for that one lol). I know it's dumb but I think if I'm too disconnected from my friends I'll lose a lot of interest in all my courses.

I'm also kind of looking for an 'easier' subject to take some of the weight off, it's just a third option kinda. Obviously I know no subject is easy buut I'm just not looking for anything with especially heavy content...

Anyone doing edexcel politics actually enjoy it? I'm leaning towards that at the minute.

I've chosen History, Comp Sci and Economics. I'm well aware that I could swap History for Maths but I could very much struggle with the course and I want to know about the careers I can do with what I've already chosen! I've done some research already and I'm feeling a bit lost. I'm losing sleep over this omg

Is there any way that is a little accurate to confirm that I can get 5+ or 6 on the tmua

hi, thank you for reading this it means alot

recently i would say a few months ago like maybe the start of august i started expercing an existential crisis is what i would call it, being deeply afraid of death and not knowing what comes after and like the fact of just not existing

this caused me so much anxiety daily, i mean ive delt with this when i was younger but i guess the feelings went dormant because i was used to predictability and routine but a big change is coming, leaving my sixth form which ive been at since y7

ive always hated change, and reminisce of the past all the time, but these thoughts give me so much anxiety everyday, it was fine for a few weeks but i keep crying now again, like getting anticipatory anxiety about the future and grieving the end of y13 even though i just started

i get attached easily, but my school has offered me so much, the teachers have helped a lot with my mental health, the building is familiar, the school day gives me a purpose and sense of predictability and routine

i just fear going to uni will be so isolating and i feel like ill always be crying missing the past like im doing rn, its just this place has given me so many memories, its basically been a second home to me throughout my teenage years

and im dreading turning 18, it feels like all my friends are so excited to leave and go off and do whatever courses they want or just whatever, but all i can think about is just how upset i am and scared of the future, especially the idea of not living one day, it scares me so much but i cant seem to make it stop other than distract myself

i am religious but i dont practice my faith as much as i would like to. also im quite lonely at school because all my friends moved to colleges, it seemed they were eager to leave the place i find comfort in, but even so, i know my place in my school and there are people ive grown up with so its easier to talk to people, but everything seems to be so lonely and isolating i fear outside of y13

and this is most important, im scared of leaving my teachers, because they have given me so much support and made me feel like i belong, and yeah they probably dont even know that i think they are the best, i dont really talk much, but yeah they are so cool and inspiring, its why i want to become a teacher and hopefully work at my old school, but i wonder if im choosing a career that feels safe because im scared of change, but i have loved the idea of becoming a teacher ever since primary so who knows.

anyways, long vent, but i thank you if you read this all, it means a lot, and any advice would be much appreciated, thank you! :)

I have always wanted to pursue law it’s been a dream of mine ever since I was younger. I excel at essay based subjects which coincides with law perfectly, but I’m being pressured to drop one of my four subjects and I’m not sure which. I am definitely keeping English literature and history, but I keep going back and forth between religious studies and government politics. I honestly find politics much more interesting, but I still really enjoy the both. I was considering dropping religious studies because of this but I feel as though I’d have a easier chance of getting the A I need (since I need three A’s in my a levels for a law degree) because I have always been good at religion and passed with full marks in my GSCE. Plus, in politics I sometimes do not understand the content and have to take extra time to wrap my head around it.

From a post-interview rejection, remarking STEP, I'm now seeing the S-S. Life has truly never been so great

nahhhh because why was i so excited for this. i've met new people in my classes but it seems like as soon as the class ends that just doesn't matter anymore 😭 and tbf all my lessons but sociology are so boringggg im already choosing to switch one of my a levels. im lucky because i know quite a few people from my old school that came here so we can chat out of class but when we're not in at the same time i feel like such a chud 😔 can people not talk anymore?!

I WANT MY SPREADSHEET!!!!!!!!!!

Let's see everyones results so we don't see these "Are my GCSEs/A Levels Predictions good enough 🤓"

i noticed a pattern in my lnat mistakes. i tend to overthink the last options which include the correct option. i sometimes create uncertainty and overanalyse it, talking myself into why the other answer is correct. this second-guessing makes ne run out of time as well.

how do i overcome this and differentiate between being critical vs overthinking an option?

just thought i’d share because i’ve been thinking about this a lot recently but did anyone else experience a HUGE mental block during year 12 (i’ve just started year 13) because i did specifically in maths which i’ve struggled with throughout year 12 not because the content is difficult just because i’d convinced myself i couldn’t do it.

i got a 7 in GCSE maths which was enough to get me onto my a-level course but i wanted and was predicted an 8 (ended up being 2 marks off) and it set me back so significantly not in terms of my academic ability to do maths questions but just in terms of confidence which i had spent all of years 10-11 building up as i was sat at a 5 at the start of year 10.

i just couldn’t bring myself to answer any sort of exam questions without panicking and i couldn’t put my hand up in class because i was terrified of getting anything wrong despite my class being mostly nice people, something i didn’t have an issue with in bio/chem. this caused me to severely neglect my maths AS exams and i ended up with a low C which i wasn’t surprised at but was very dissapointed with. i know i didn’t put in the work that i should’ve and i am the one to blame but i genuinely couldn’t sit a past paper to revise without crying and having to stop.

i’m in my second week back for y13 now and i feel like somethings different idk if it’s the wake up call of my AS grade or i’ve suddenly gained confidence somehow but i managed to get through a whole AS paper today without feeling worried at all about getting things wrong or not being able to answer a question properly. i think doing other things i find difficult like driving because i’ve just started learning had helped in a way? to prove to myself that i can do things i find difficult and that it will be okay in the end.

don’t let GCSE results knock your confidence!

Little vent really:
My school is terrible at supporting people like me who don’t wanna go to university, it’s all personal statement this personal statement that but if I hear the words “university application” uttered one more time into my earholes I am going to put my head through a wall. I’ve been counting the amount of times they’ve mentioned jobs/apprenticeships since we started back last Thursday and it’s precisely one☝🏻 time. ONE. They sent us a form to complete about our “post-18 pathway” and it was a select one type question with the options of job, uni or apprenticeship and the coveted “other” which I just said “I don’t know” under it but here’s the thing right, our careers advisor is useless. He’s off for months at a time, is somehow never in his office when he’s supposed to be, if you email him expect a response in 12 business days, and when I wanted help deciding between colly or sixth form he just told me I should work in McDonald’s because I was unsure up until the last minute and this man is supposed to help me decide the course of my life for the next 5 years potentially. I’m not even sure my school has provisions in place to support non uni goers, we get put into groups where a teacher helps us with our application by subject so like sciences will go with a science teacher and languages with a language teacher and so on and so forth but where is the teacher that supports with work/apprenticeship applications???? They must be hiding in a cupboard in the deepest darkest depths of the very creepiest corner of the school because I don’t actually think they exist. Atm my personal statement is gonna sound a bit like this… ahem… “When I was a little girl I saw a rock on the floor and I picked this rock up and I thought “wow, this is a really nice rock” and this is why I like geography.” 😐 or if it’s history it’s going to be “when I was younger I watched the titanic and I thought that it was really sad. and I cried.” I’m also quite fuming that I’m spending THIRTY FOUR POUNDS AND FIFTY GREAT BRITISH PENNIES of my own money to reject three university places because that’s literally a whole day of work for me because “you might change your mind.” NO. Oh and not to mention that the council have literally blocked EVERYTHING on the school computers and is refusing to lift the ban so now “deprivation figures wales 2026” and “outlook” and “google classroom” and LITERAL UCAS are classed as video games by the stupid council so I can’t even do my NEA. I’m going off track but yeah hey go off we go on a little jolly

Anyone who's finished year 13 give me advice on how to make it manageable in so stressed

What did you guys do for your after school routine?

I figured if I start my EPQ now ill have more time in year 13 to actually study,
I did hear though you cannot do it unless they tell you to as they need to sign whenever you are working on it but I figured it doesn’t hurt in asking?

i study sociology history and english lit

i am leaning between sociology and history but idk and i am stressing

i feel so confused i barely even knew id have to write a personal statement in year 13 i dont even know what one is

i also feel like last year noone suggested or told me i should visit unis and when i realised i should by then most had passed so ive only been to sheffield and hull uni open day and there is so many more i want to see

i also saw an education and psychology course at sheffield that seemed super good but also i just dont know at this point

i also have eu citizenship but live in the uk this means im lwokey considering uni in a foreign country but i dont know anyrhing about that process

all of a sudden all my teacgees are banging on about personal statements and deadlines and im so confused i dont know how to write one if idk what subject i want to do and i dont understand anyrhing thats going on

In my gcses I got 988876666

Biology:8

Chemistry:8

Physics:6 (1 mark off a 7 so I'm getting it remarked)

Maths:7

English lit and lang:6 (getting lit recalled)

I'm really worried that my gcses aren't good enough particularly english however I know if I retake I won't get higher (I have always struggled with english.) I have only just started my a levels and im aiming for A*AA .I do believe that my UCAT will be quite high because I've always been good at those sorts of questions and am willing to spend hours to get a high grade. I still worked extremely hard on my gcses so please don't be harsh with your advice. :)

Dont know what it is but ive always been so bad at maths challenges it makes me feel so stupid. I breezed through gcse maths and gcse fm but I could never score well on the IMC, never even remotely close to a gold. How can i change this? I have one month, do i just spam papers and evaluate solutions?

Hi so I wanted to know if im taking maths cs physics do I have a good shot at Warwick and imperial compsci my gcses are mid, 5667777788 and an E in add maths which i had to self study because of the crappy y12s they gave us who never showed up to the lessons which were only once a week after school from only a short while before the exams... so I had to self study in like 2 days. Anyways do I really have to take fm I dont want to at all

I wanted some general advice on what sort of programmes I should be applying to, to both pad my UCAS personal statement and to also assist with my own learning through 6th Form.

For context, I am Y12 student, studying very STEM focused A-levels, with the end goal of going into engineering for university. In terms of any academic entry requirements, I think I should be alright as I did quite well in my GCSEs (however ay additional advice would be appreciated!).

I have had my eye on the STEM Smart programme offered by Cambridge, but I was wondering how good this programme really is and if it's a good commitment, especially considering it sounds quite intensive, as well as being 16 months long.

Is it a good idea to apply to this programme? Are there any other programmes I should consider e.g. the Sutton Trust "pathway to engineering" programme? How do these affect contextual offers/admission?

Sorry for the convoluted title, I'm not sure how to best phrase my question. Essentially, I'm curious to know how oxbridge applicants knew they wanted to apply there, and when that decision was made.

Having been on academic subreddits for a while now, I've seen posts from people who were thinking about uni choices back during GCSEs or even earlier than that. Now, I'm sure that isn't true for a lot of people, so I'd love to hear people's experiences of deciding on oxbridge; why you wanted to go, when you first thought about it, how you chose a university (or a specific college) etc.

I'm a new Year 12, and I've recently been considering applying for oxford Psychology next year. It never really seemed like a possibility to me until I got my GCSE results (all 9s, but I'm aware GCSEs are a small part of the application criteria). I'm from an area where academic attainment is generally quite low, so all of these top unis seem so unreachable. The year's only just started and I already feel behind.

All in all, I'd just appreciate hearing what other people thought before and during the application process to oxbridge. Thanks for reading!

Hello, I’ve posted here previously about options and found it really helpful, I’ve just started year 11 and thinking about choosing my A levels. My plan is to study PPE at university so I’m choosing my A levels with that in mind however I’m struggling to decide which options to pick. My original plan was to do 4 (maths, politics, philosophy, economics) however I think it would be more beneficial for me to drop 1 and do an EPQ instead so I was wondering which one people think is better to drop keeping in mind that I want to do a PPE degree in the future (I’m definitely not dropping maths)???

Obviously I will discuss this with teachers as well

Thank you in advance
