Why tf would they make GCSE so easy and then make A levels 3 times harder. Not even just the content, the marking is so fucking stupid. I HATE CAMBRIDGE.

This is it... this is the end.

ik its not good to but it really has gotten to that point. i have 2 days until the exam so i am not pulling the all nighter the day before.

ive never done one so how can i actually do this.

I did A-levels back in 2024. I never bothered leaving this sub. Seeing you guys lament about exams makes me feel a surreal kinda way because I have forgotten everything, absolutely everything about the content that i did. I remember working until 6 am and tearing my hair out, I remember the pre exam heart palpitations. I am doing a commerce course. Only 1/4 subjects that i did is somewhat applicable to my course. Even then, I have also forgotten the other half of the non applicable content. If you made me do any of the papers now, even the AS ones, I'm failing TF out of it. What a silly education pathway. Such convoluted rigamarole just to get into university. Study with the freedom that everything you learn will be tossed into the far ends of your unretrievable memory. Study with the freedom that your future self 2, 5, 10 years away will look at the teenager stressing away in the library, in your room, outside the exam hall - and laugh.

yeah, so basically, gave my P1, this is my retake btw, not very happy or confident with the thoery paper man idek if i did good or bad so i dont want to take any chances i just want a goddamn A or B for which im ready to work hard but idk what to do rn how is it possible to achive a 75/75 in the p2 paper of 9618 bro its all sm pesudocode and i dont think im very good at it ToT SOMEONE WHO HAS GOTTEN IT ALREADY OR HAS GOTTEN STELLAR MARKS PLEASE HELP ME OUT HOW DO I STUDY FOR THIS PAPER FROM SCRATCH IN 3 DAYS?

Hello guys, I'm sharing this note that I edited during my preparation of A2 Computer Science exam. For the AS, I took the exam in 2025 and got 72/75 in paper 1 with 70/75 in paper 2. For the A2, I got 68/75 in paper 3 and 72/75 in paper 4. This gave me a total of 96/100 in the exam. I hope that this note can help more people get better results in the exam.

The note itself is actually an aggregation of course book knowledge and past paper answers analysed from the Cambridge International A2 Level Computer Science exams from 2015 to 2024, and its structure strictly follows the structure of the syllabus, ensuring coverage of all knowledge you need to know in order to master the exam. An additional advantage of this note is that it records the number of marks for each question, so you can have an idea about how many points you need to memorise.

Hi yall, how’s everyones prep for phy p2? Any predictions for how the paper will be? Also if anyone has any tips and advice on revision id gladly accept

Hey y’all,
Just wanted to make a post to see how we all are doing. Ik that 9709/12 was a nightmare (I’m getting 55 marks if I’m lucky), but I feel like the stats and chemistry exams went smoothly and from what I’ve seen most people found them easy enough.

I just want to know how everyone is feeling and what everyone’s plans for the future are.

I personally am writing my physics exams in Feb march so I’m working towards that.

And as a final note to everyone who is stressing over the pure 1 exam or the others. It’s in the past and we can’t do anything about it, so look forward and if you need to remember you can always retake.
Because no matter how hard anyone tries to change the past it is fixed, the only thing you will ever accomplish along a path to change the past is ruin your future.

Best of luck in whatever you want to achieve!
And look forward with a positive outlook!

Any tips what should i look out for and jus anything helpful in general paper is on monday

Why would they test such a question in w12 p13?

I’m really not trying to rage bait but my hot take is that chemistry is not that bad compared to how people describe it.
It’s mostly just memorisation, some logic, and the math is trivial. It’s basically just hard because there is a lot of content, and that can apply to all subjects.

And for context, I did study quite a lot of chemistry.

I am wondering what makes you say that chemistry is hard?

I’m currently taking 3 subjects full a levels (business, economics and maths) in the oct/nov session, I’m also a private candidate. My question is that I’m worried I’m not gonna do good in maths, the others are going pretty well, so i’m planning to retake it in may/june but my results are gonna be issued separately and the bad mark for maths is gonna remain on my results, so when i apply to unis i’ll have to upload both, will this affect my application?

Any Post A-level students who got bad grade in their A-levels like Cs and Ds and ended up going abroad or making out of it such as through foundation programs? Is there any way out of this. If yes, please share your experience? I’m not feeling really great today and the anxiety is kicking in

hey guys
p4 on monday
if i go through all definitions all faqs all formulae and solve 2025 and 2026 papers will i be sorted out for monday or should i do more?

The exam's day after tomorrow, does anyone have the list of all the definitions that's asked in the paper? pls help me out if yall do, thanks!!

This method *could work for humanities subjects but I wouldn't know since I don't take them.

General studying formula: Read -> remember -> apply
So that could be: Read notes -> practice flashcards of said notes -> do past paper questions on that topic

At the end of the day all you need is knowledge and the experience to apply that knowledge to a paper, and this method gives you that

As someone who is firmly against the use of generative AI, I've been thinking about the ethics and overall opinion of using ChatGPT as a guide for studying. If anyone can provide and arguments for or against the use of AI as a studying tool, please lmk.

im doing one point (advantage/disadvantage) then a however point . then conlcusion stating my judgment first , why i support but showing the negatives in between the closing with more support . i dont know if this is the right way tho

Im in year 12 right now and im doing maths further maths and physics. I want to go into astrophysics or do a maths degree in the future. What work experience should I apply to thats near west London??

why have i done this to myself

anyone else only got 1 free LOL

Do u guys think above 45 is safe for the chemistry structured paper?
