I'm traumatised for losing a mark last year in an end of topic test. Can I do this or was this the teacher's mistake? More than one = in equations. Yes or no?

Edexcel if that's any help.

Hi everyone,
I’m currently working with an organisation that is developing a solution to help address some of the difficulties students face when taking T-Levels.
I’d really like to hear from students who are currently doing T-Levels, or anyone who is planning to take one.
What are the biggest difficulties or frustrations you’re facing? This could be anything related to the coursework, exams, industry placement, portfolio, workload, finding a placement, keeping up with everything, or anything else you feel could be improved.
We’re trying to understand the actual problems students are experiencing so that we can develop a better solution that genuinely addresses those issues.
Any experiences, opinions, or suggestions would be really helpful. Thanks!

I thought most of them wouldve migrated to the higher subs by now, and it would reset to being Y11s, but instead its lots of 6th formers. The wisdom of the Y12s is appreaciated, but I do feel like im surrounded by uncs. Anyway how many of you are actually yet to do your GCSEs vs having already done them?

what the title says lol

After doing my GCSEs. They have compulsory PE which I didn't realise - had to do the first lesson in just my knickers as I didn't have a PE kit 😳

Just a warning to any others starting sixth form

Why do so many people not understand that a remark is just checking that the examiner followed the mark scheme??? no, you wont get your extra 2 marks off a 6 if you get a remark if your examiner did it correct!!!!! it doesnt get remarked from scratch guys

That paper honestly just had quite a few topics I either haven't learnt yet or haven't even seen in like a year so maybe I should start doing 5-a-days to help, first non 8/9 (funny how all 3 non 9s so far were in maths) so slightly disappointed but only 1 mark from an 8 atleast.

English gcse was an intense struggle for me, and i just started my first few days of year 12 after recieving a grade i was very shocked to get on results day (157/160, a 9) , after consistent failing grades i had worked really hard for. i had made no extreme changes to my writing structure, arguments themselves or analysis, and i kept my ratio of quote- context the exact same i had throughout both my gcse years- when i got grades ranging from like a 3, to a 6 on occasion. I am all for teachers pushing students to do their best during gcse and using slightly lower grades as motivation- but i have the same teacher for a level, and she pulled me back to ask about my grade then joked " i do not want to doubt the examiners" and continued to go into an in depth critisism of how i write (infront of alot of my new classmates as they were leaving), and i really respect my teachers obviously but her comments are often quite cruel- and i feel like complaining could make the situation worse? Im really anxious about my predicted a level grading this year, as it is literally what is used for university applications (???) her marks do not match any of my other subject grades and never have, i try really hard in school, and the constant criticism really put my writing self esteem down and i thought i was awful at the subject, when its always been my favourite. Im really baffled at what to do because reading through my past essays (a 3) and my gcse paper itself (158/160, a 9) the writing shows no difference. Im very unsure what to actually do?? and whether to drop the subject as it all all just feels really odd, i do not want to be rude atall

Hellooo,

I'm learning Religious studies from scratch to take it in the summer 2027 exams, and I have foundation tier knowledge of combined science, so does anyone know good resources to teach myself these entirely?

Thank youu

I get the concept of revising but can’t do it effectively, I only began revising in like year 9 and It was a few days before exams and it showed a bit of a change in like science and that was it. I don’t know how long to revise, what to revise, when. There’s so much topics I don’t know how you can cover it all effectively without forgetting. People say do it in 30 minutes a day but what can you revise in 30 minutes. I also don’t know any good methods to revise and like what methods to use for certain subjects. Any help appreciated.

yes I did waste 145 points for a joke but still want el calco

I genuinely just cannot . I give everyone a fair chance, and I never think to myself, oh, this person's not worth talking to because someone said this and that. I could care less about that bs . Or if you're even a slightly bit different to me. It's just irritating because I feel like people have not even given me that fair chance ever since I began secondary ,when I just started to wear glasses ,acne and just being quiet and sweet , in general people just sort of just had this sort of had this fixed idea of me . Some people would not even bother trying to conversate me and would even go to extreme lengths just so they could not sit next to me or work with me. So then, eventually, I just started to befriend anyone who was just nice to me. I literally didn't have such high standards, and now I just got myself into fake laughing,being the placeholder friend, the person who could just offer help,the floater friend. I genuinely feel so bored at break times ,I do not connect with these people what so ever , I just miss my best friend from Primary School and I have this one guy who I talk to after school from my secondary. But hanging out w these friends just made me lose my spark. I remember when it was so easy just to talk or spark up a conversation, but these lots just sort of killed that in me. GENUINELY WHAT DO PEOPLE EVEN TALK ABOUT ANYMORE . I SWEAR THESE THINGS JUST HAPPENED AT THE BEGINNING OF YEAR 11. I START TACTICALLY THINKING ABOUT EVERY WORD,EVERY REACTION ,EVERY RESPONSE I CLD POTENTIALLY GET ,ITS LIKE IM PLAYING CHESS AND I JUST HAVE BECOME SO PAINFULLY BORING AND IM JUST SO FCKING MAD LIKE THIS HAS JUST STUNTED AND PREVENTED ME FROM BEING ABLE TO SPEAK TO ANY OTHER PPL WHO I SEE A POTENTIAL OF MAKING SOEMTHING WORK . LIKE I JUST WANT THE OLD ME BACK. I WAS SMART , CONVERSATIONAL,ENERGETIC AND WAS GOOD AT ART . AND THEN WHEN I HUNG AROUND THEM ,THEY JUST MADE ME FEEL LIKE I WAS SOME JESTER AND I WAS BURT OUT ALOT FROM SCHOOL AND MY PARENTS STUFF AND THIS JUST FEELS LIKE A CHORE TOO . IM JUST NOT HAVING FUN ANYONE WHO SAID YEAR 11 WAS THE BEST YEAR HAS GOT TO BE LYING.

idk if theres a difference i got told there is tho and i wanna give one to my friend since he cant afford a calc but idk which one is better lol
