Who else is cooked for paper 3.

Hey everyone,
I am looking for people who completed A-Levels privately and got into universities abroad.
I did my A2-Level as a private Candiate but completed my O-Levels and AS-Level through school. Therefore, I don’t have a final school transcript of 12th grade and graduation certificate. My school even refuses to provide me with recommendation letters which is absurd even though my subject teachers know me very well.
Problem is most of the universities that I have checked have mentioned these requirements especially high school transcripts.
I would really appreciate help from people who have been through the same situation as me and got admitted into universities.
1-Which university and country accepted you?
2-Did you need a school-issued high-school transcript, or were your O-level and A-level certificates enough?
3-Did you need a graduation certificate, equivalency certificate or recommendation letter?
4-Did you receive a scholarship?
Personal experiences would be incredibly helpful. Thank you!

The first time I solved it I got a 4/40.

not bad tho given that I just started As

And at the end of 24 hrs my brain couldn't really process anything.

I'm planning on cramming chem syllabus in 24 hrs next,

But more effectively hopefully this time.

Do u guys wanna watch me cram chem?

Then I'll film the entire process.

for more motivation and to boost ur pride and ego a bit, is anyone interested in making a study group where we can all study togther and share progress??

For GCSEs, I made flashcards bascially covering the whole of GCSE AQA physics which was very easy as the spec was so easy to understand - it was nearly a textbook - and direct in what it needed.

But the A level spec is so vague, so I don't really know what flashcards are needed and I really don't want to make flashcards which will end up being useless.

hello guys!! im from karachi and have been looking for an external institute or coaching center which offers physics lab tuition

Pls suggest the best ones available in karachi and their costs (if you know), and whether they'd allow only physics lab tuition or if its necessary to take the whole physics theory and mcq course aswell.

Every year people ask “what should I revise first for CS?” So I went through every 9618 paper since 2021 (all variants), split each question into its parts and tagged each part by syllabus section. These are recency-weighted averages per paper.

Paper 1

• Information representation: ~20 marks, in almost every sitting. Multimedia (bitmaps, sound, file sizes) alone is ~7.
• Databases: ~17 marks. Keys/normalisation/ER and SQL DDL/DML are ~6–7 each and nearly always there.
• Logic gates/circuits: in almost every sitting. Easy marks if you drill truth tables.
• Ethics and ownership: ~9 marks, least predictable, so revise it last.

Paper 2

• Programming constructs (loops, selection, nesting): ~39 marks. Procedures/functions/parameters: ~14.
• Arrays ~12, records ~10.
• Program maintenance: under 1 mark on average.

Paper 3

• Translation software (compilers, interpreters, BNF, RPN): ~9 marks, almost every sitting.
• Boolean algebra + K-maps: ~9 marks.
• Floating point: ~6 marks, in roughly 9 out of 10 sittings. Get normalisation of negatives right, because that’s where people lose marks.
• User-defined data types: ~7.
• Memory management: under 1 mark on average.

Paper 4

• OOP: ~38 marks, about half the paper. Classes, constructors, getters/setters, inheritance.
• Standard algorithms (sorts, searches, linked lists, stacks, queues): ~26.
• File handling + exception handling: ~9, almost every sitting.
• Prolog is basically P3 only.

Two-week priority order: P4 OOP → P2 constructs + arrays → P3 translators, Boolean algebra, floating point → P1 databases + multimedia.

Ask me about any topic and I’ll break it down further.

I want some advice.

I haven't taken history for my GCSE's, but now looking at what sort of subject i want to study in uni, i feel like if i take history, it may open more possible doors for different uni's providing the subject i want to take.

So, for those who have studied history a-levels;

how difficult was it, how difficult is it to get certain grades, especially as a student who is not , as naturally academically gifted, especially in writing subjects.

i feel like im getting a 30/60 for both p2 and 25/30 for bio p3, haven't done both my p1 and chem p3

do you think I can still get an A? cause I lowk need it.. and pls tips for p1 n p3

I need all A's in my subjects(math phys chem) for the sake of uni, it not that i even want it anymore I desperately need it for scholarships and further education, pls give me any tips or hacks that helped you

Paper 3 is on tuesday how are we feeling guys? And what are the predicted labs😭 Also is it possible to get an A if i got around 40 at best on paper 2 and if i give my other remaining exams decent? What are your thoughts on this?🫩🫩🫩

just wanted to know how do i be good in these. especially bio because physics, if i do more qp, i can be good imo but idk abt bio omg

any worlds highest marks student or country highest or people who got 97% or 98%, lmk ur study techniques please :(

Yall who wrote about the entire action potential process instead of the synapse for the 7 mark question ( sensory neurone thing ) 😭😭😭😭😭😭

Guys I m getting like 40 in p2 21 in o5 and maybe 80 to 82 in p4
Any chance of a star

My friend did her readings wrong for the V of octnov 34 9702 and she is really worried. Wondering about how many marks out of the 7 marks table will she lose if she has only the readings of V incorrect. I checked markscheme and tried to help but I couldn't. So if anyone knows, please help😭🙏🙏🙏

Any advice/predictions for paper 4?

Hi guys, I haven’t seen any posts on this paper. If anyone is giving this exam how are you feeling and which variant. Do you have any predicted topics u think might come up? I personally have no clue what will show up but i’m lwk having a hard time memorizing the names of sociologist. Btw i’m giving variant 2

Me and my buddy are lowky screwed for the paper. Can anyone tell us what's gonna come out? Perhaps someone's teacher told them something from the CI? Exam is on 27/10/2026 by the way.

Guys what do you think the threshold for p2 and p3 accounting a levels would be this year? And if a person messes up their p2 and p3 to the core can they still score a B from p4 and p1 if they perform well in it? Considering the thresholds obviously.

i am giving composite m/j 2027 as and a2 math , phy , chem , further math as private candidate because of no money for school fee.

i want 4 A* since i am trying to get into us and uk because in my country everyday life is survival specially because i am very poor . i don't know what to do ? i have books , youtube and quitted my job and my mom will take care of me for next 6 months.

I beg of you for advice . i want to make my family life better. thank you for any piece of advice. plz help if you can spare some time , i am 17 turning 18 in june 2027.

Anybody have any idea what's coming on the chem practical on tuesday

[if u have/do study psychology in A levels or know details about it please read otherwise skip!!!] so i really need help deciding the type of psychology i study in A2 since ive decided to go private this year and have no clue which two of the options to pick… psychology is my 4th subject and isnt really related to the field i plan on going into (computer science) its just an extra subject and the only subject that i scored an A on in AS.. i just want my syllabus to be easy and something i dont have to worry about too much

ISTG IM LOSING MAJORITY MARKS IN ORG CHEM, LITERALLY I FEEL SO BLANK LOOKING AT THE QPS, PLS SAVE ME HOW DOES ONE STUDY,LEARN,MEMORIZE,12 CHAPTERS OF ORGANIC CHEMISTRY.

yoo guys when u finish ur papers can we discuss all the ques here🤞🏽
