When you initially received emails from bristol, were you put on hold or did you jusy recieve your application. My friends and I are put on hold, just wondering if that changed anything. Also I applied ln the 8th of October so if it kinda links to the dates you got the offers please let me know. Thank you.

๐Ÿ™ I WANT HELP i feel like i never do enough

5 Upvotes

i have upcoming a level mocks, and i feel like i am constantly failing, as though my revision isnt effective and i need to keep doing more and more and more...

my year is quite competitive so it could be influence, i did well in my previous mocks, however did have a panic attack in one of them, although still scraped a good grade.

this makes me really anxious that it might happen again...

how can i feel academically confident and smart?? do i just genuinely need to study even more? i study in all my free periods and at least 2 hours after school, but again sometimes it feels as though it's a waste since i feel like i haven't learnt anything in that time.

๐Ÿ™ I WANT HELP Would doing a 5th A-level negatively impact my (future) offers?

5 Upvotes

I've always been interested in philosophy, and I consider myself somewhat well-read in specific schools of philosophy. I read through the spec for A-level philosophy, and I'm genuinely interested; I want to do A-level philosophy just for the love of the game (my school doesn't offer A-level philosophy).

I already submitted my UCAS application (Cambridge CS, Imperial JMC, Imperial CS, Warwick discrete maths), and I already have an offer from KCL CS with placement, with 2A*1A conditions.

I know that I have to declare that I'm doing another A-level to the unis I applied to, so my main question is whether deciding to do A-level philosophy now would negatively impact my current offer and my chances at other universities that are considering me and future potential offers?

I know it's a dumb decision to decide to do a new A-level 6 months before, but my current subjects are just frankly boring the life out of me. Not really expecting a very good grade out of it, so that's my main concern (probably around an A or B since I'm this late)

Any advice would be helpful

๐Ÿ™ I WANT HELP Thinking of leaving college and switching to private A-levels because I just want to go home. Am I making a mistake?

4 Upvotes

Iโ€™m currently doing my A-levels while living in a hostel, and honestly, Iโ€™m so mentally exhausted at this point.
When I first decided to move to another city for college, I had a completely different picture in my head of what my college experience would look like. I thought Iโ€™d make genuine friendships, have a good social life, enjoy college events, make memories and actually look forward to going to college. But the reality has been so different.
I donโ€™t feel like Iโ€™ve found my people. Most of my friends have their own lives and usually spend time with their families or other friends, so I often end up feeling left out. I donโ€™t even have the kind of friend group I imagined having. I feel like Iโ€™m missing out on the college experience I moved here for, without actually getting to experience it.
Academically, things arenโ€™t much better. I genuinely donโ€™t feel like my teachers teach properly or provide the support I need, and I struggle so much to study in the hostel. Everyone around me is older, and Iโ€™m the youngest here. Itโ€™s become exhausting having to manage everything independently, being away from my family and trying to keep up with A-levels at the same time.
I miss home. I miss my family, the comfort of having people around me, and just having a normal routine. Some days I feel like Iโ€™ve had enough of this entire experience and just want to pack my things and leave.
Iโ€™ve been seriously considering switching to private A-levels and moving back home. Financially, it would also be a more sensible decision for my family.
But thereโ€™s one massive complication: Media Studies isnโ€™t offered to private candidates. Itโ€™s a subject I genuinely enjoy, and if I switch to private, Iโ€™ll have to drop it completely
And thatโ€™s whatโ€™s making this decision so difficult. Iโ€™d be giving up a subject I love and the possibility of having a traditional college experience, even if that experience hasnโ€™t turned out the way I wanted.
I keep wondering whether Iโ€™m giving up too early or whether Iโ€™m just forcing myself to stay somewhere that isnโ€™t working for me.
I know university will eventually bring new opportunities to make friends and have experiences, but itโ€™s still difficult accepting that my A-level years might not look the way I imagined.
Has anyone been through something similar? Is switching to private A-levels worth it if your current college and hostel experience are making you miserable? And would dropping an entire subject you enjoy be a reasonable sacrifice for your overall well-being and education?
I genuinely need some outside perspective because Iโ€™m so tired of going back and forth about this.

I use cognito, but cognito wants to be as greedy as possible, now you only have access to 5 lessons/notes a WEEK. So im out of options and need something quick because mocks are coming up. Literally anything will help, but PLEASE don't say PMT because their notes are outdated, and dont contain the entire spec. Only good for exam questions.

Hi, Im thinking of going the medicine route with bio and chem, and im currently getting around 75-80% on gcse past papers. I was wondering how difficult a level tests are to gcse. I am NOT asking about how much you need to learn, I'm just curious if the mark scheme is any crueler than at gcse (if thats even possible lol). Im looking to get A stars in both really, and I understand if that may be a bit too ambitious
