These are some of my art pieces 😔 was really let down by my examiner

So yah he is one step closer to getting fired. Basically he was getting the window with the presentation and then all his windows showed and there were 2 naked ppl on top of eachother in an animated roman style everyone was shocked and one of my friends (who i trust very much) was there and she's the one that told me. The entire year-group was talking about it. 5 ppl went and wrote statements and my head of year kept telling them to not tell anyone. Anyway last lesson someone from the senior leadership came in (while my physics teacher was teaching my y10 friends) and talked to him super seriously and then took his laptop while he was teaching.

Thing is even if u r a perv why would u do that on ur WORK LAPTOP? Like it is super easy to trace. So yah he's an incompetent DUMB perv and finally there is solid evidence of his perviness. I also feel like i wanna go up to my head of year and head of secondary who thought i was lying and be like I WARNED U, IF U HAD FIRED HIM IT WOULDN'T HAVE GOTTEN THIS FAR. They acc lead to 15 year olds being traumatized like i could see it ppl weren't exaggerating they were acc disgusted.

Have this omw to school send help 🥀

Science four times in a row 😭😭😭 idk what I did to deserve this. Idk, does anyone else have double/triple/quadruple periods? Which subjects?

im starting year 11 now

for complicated reasons, i won't explain them but anyways my school can only give me 5 gcses (english language, english lit, science for 2 gcses and maths). hopefully i can get 99999 but because im not doing like 7/8/9 gcses i worry this won't be enough, luckily it isn't my fault i can only do 5 but idk it worries me

I had a migraine the whole day, went to medical 3 times and each time they told me that I just want to get out of school, spoiler alert, I didn't. I wanted to stay in school I just needed an ibuprofen. I had 2 hours of tutor and another 30 minutes before lunch. In science I got sat in between a guy who took pictures of me without getting in trouble at all and a girl who has bullied me relentlessly since year 7. I asked to move to one of the eight empty seats and was shouted at. Worst of all, the safe spot for break and lunch made for people who are targeted at school, it was removed due to funding issues. Yet they build a giant wall blocking one of the two mens bathrooms in the main building for no reason. I got about 4 pasta pots thrown at me today and I got a bump on my head from a basketball thrown at me deliberately. Terrible day.

Edit: turns out, I had accidentally ingested mold. My grandma packed me some grapes from aldi, they didn't go out until the 11th of September so she reasonably thought they were okay and at the time there were no visible signs. Thats what caused the migraine and I later went to the hospital 1 hour after posting this.

I have seen a few posts in recent days, and I'd thought I'd offer my input for useful resources and other things.

I got a 9 (128/160) and I did Edexcel. I liken this to AQA science (double OR triple) if you do it, it is essentially the same format.

Edexcel offers marks (a set proportion) for equations, just like sciences.

You have 2/3 markers that are very strict to the mark scheme, but as you do past papers (I recommend you do this AFTER your first set of mocks) you'll get used to the key vocabulary you need,

Textbooks:

Ok for this there are three different ones. The CGP ones are very good if you just want to get the concept around your head in a short time. It comes with (albeit) few questions for practice. Highly recommend this for the price it is at. If you cannot afford any of these try and use your local library like I did.

The 'official' Edexcel endorsed textbook. Idk if there is one for AQA, but as far as I am aware, they are very similar specs, so this is something to consider, but you will probably be fine just doing these in class (since our teacher made us do these anyway).

Videos:

Two options here, just go spec point by spec point and watch a video on youtube about it. Only problem is, you'll spend an age just searching what you actually want.

There are two youtube channels (very recent I think). Though I didn't use any of these they have recently come up on my feed.

https://www.youtube.com/@TheGCSEStatisticsGuy

I don't know about the quality but yeah.

Websites:

There is a huge overlap to GCSE Maths, so you can use corbettmaths, maths genie etc.

There is one specific one called 'statsacademy' which has resources.

And lastly, the only way to get a nine is by putting effort in! Just make sure that you are consistent, leave enough time to get as many past papers in - the more you do and review, the higher chance of that EXACT question coming up in your actual thing.

That is all I can think of.

In a class I feel like my teacher only likes certain people in my class and she hates others I feel like I am one of the less liked ones in her class so dose your teacher have favourites

So my mocks are in late October (22-31) and I don't get any study leave for them. I'm taking 11 subjects (3 sciences, English language and lit, maths, further maths, geo, history, cs and Chinese). Idk when to start revising or how much to do every day. Anyone got any tips? 🙏

Unpopular opinion but can we agree to keep the sub mostly gcse related? Cause obviously yr 12s can stay here but can we keep all the posts about sixth form problems in r/sixthform cause this is supposed to be a gcse centred sub and there are way to many yr 12 / 6th form posts that have 0 gcse relations

Edit: This doesn't apply if you don't do this

Edit 2: Guys im not fighting your right to stay here 😭😭😭 I'm just saying can we make the posts more gcse centric cause lately it's been feeling more like a sixth form sub than a gcse sub.

Hi everyone,

I recently moved to the UK from Southeast Asia, and because of my age I’ve been placed directly into Year 11, even though I was only in Year 9 back in my home country. The education system here feels very different, and it’s a bit overwhelming since GCSEs are coming up so soon.

I’m taking Sociology, History, and Spanish (alongside the core subjects), and I really want to do well because I’m aiming for strong A-levels and hopefully uni later on. Right now I feel like I’m playing catch-up, especially with how exam-focused everything is. I’m so so so scared and idk what to do.

👉 For those of you who’ve done these GCSEs (or been in a similar situation): • What revision methods worked best for you? • Any textbooks, revision guides, YouTube channels, or websites you recommend for these subjects? • How should I structure my revision time since I don’t have as long as most people have had to prepare?

Any tips or advice would mean so much. I really want to ace my GCSEs even though I feel like I’m starting late.

Thanks in advance!

i'm doing german, history, geography and h&s care for gcse h&s care is ocr german is edexcel history is edexcel geography is aqua revision resources recommended pls🙏🏻

Hi everyone so I am a new year 9 and I am just wondering what subjects do i need to take for GCSE to be an LNWR train driver. I know about physics and geography but what else. Any help appreciated

And it doesn’t make sense. I requested my paper back and my English head and I noticed that the examiner didn’t annotate my poetry essay properly. Like, 1 annotation per page bad, when my English head pointed out that I had lots of quotes which hadn’t been acknowledged. I got 81% in P1 but 51% in P2, which doesn’t make sense given the fact that I have never received below an 8 in the subject and I felt that English Lit went well.

I reviewed the mark and it was returned within a day of my request with no change, which seems extremely improbable. Not even a single mark changing just doesn’t match with the clear lack of annotation on an essay that was written to my usual standard, and which would have received a 9 had I submitted it in class.

I’m frustrated and I don’t know what to do. I want to get into Oxford, but they look at GCSEs, so I can’t have this 6 looking bad on my results. My whole future could be jeopardised by this, and every teacher I talked to before the review said the grade would almost certainly raise to a 7 at least when I reviewed it, if not further. My mental health is suffering because of all this.

I just don’t know what to do. Should I attempt to review again and risk spending more money? I just don’t feel like the marking could be ruled fair in any situation here and I’m honestly spiralling.

Edit: I have now been made aware that the next step is to appeal, and that it is expensive. I should clarify that a possible raised issue by my head of English after the poor mark could be my handwriting, which is a result of my autism hindering my motor skills. This could theoretically help my appeal, but I’m not 100% certain on that. I have extra time, by the way; it was not enough time to tidy up my handwriting. My school never made me aware that my handwriting could be an issue.

Edit 2: The evidence about how sure I am that I did well: I am the user who posted the writing in fire GIF post about the unseen poetry. I got 12/24 on that question according to the examiner.

Okay so (i’m gonna bring back some childhood trauma for some of you guys lol) my local kumon centre is looking for some workers and as an ex kumon student i’m pretty familiar with how they work and what i need to do. It starts at 9:30 and finishes at 12pm and the pay amazing (£120/pm) especially for someone my age who literally only buys clothes lol.

My Mum is a bit ambivalent about the idea because she thinks i should be revising instead of working but my Dad is pretty for the idea (only cause it means i won’t be asking him for money anymore lol) I get where my mum is coming from though, i mean since i am aiming for all 9s and still have quite a long way before i’ll get there is it the best idea to work instead of revise?

After being inspired by another person who made a post about their art grade! This is my art grade and a major piece that I made for it! The title is not fully accurate as I did WJEC Art and Design (I’m from Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿), but I had a B which is an equivalent to a grade 6 using the numerical system :D.

Knowing all that, this piece was my final piece for my coursework and it was meant to be a silk scarf that you could wear and it took me actually forever to make 😭. I started this piece on the 8th of November 2024 and I didn’t finish it until the 10th of December of the same year! All in all, I think I spent about idk, 30+ hours on this piece! Anyways while it isn’t perfect (if you zoom in, you’ll be able to see a few little imperfections here and there lmao). It was a very hard piece and it was quite awkward for me to do so I’m proud of the result and how well it came out despite all the little imperfections etc!

For anyone who are wondering about what artist I was inspired by and all that stuff! I was inspired by Gustav Klimt’s patterns and I spent a lot of my coursework looking at his work, experimenting with different patterns and using vibrant colours etc! The medium I used was silk paint and I took inspiration from another silk artist who used vibrant colours in their work (I kinda tried to mix their works together in this piece) which I think I did an okay job with doing! Anyways, the silk artist was Virginia Wilson and I’m going to link her website down below if you’re interested in seeing any of her art pieces. She does a lot of work on nature and goddesses etc, and I think she’s very talented in what she does!

Here’s the link to her website:

https://virginiasilk.com

To sum up everything! Knowing all of this, would I have liked a higher grade, yes! I did put in a lot of time into my art work so it would’ve been nice if I had gotten an A/ a 7/8 etc! However, I understand that at times my work was a little bit messy and I think a B/a 6 was fair for the quality of my work and I can’t complain that much about my grade at the end of the day, as I was still able to do what it was I wanted to do when it came to school so I’m happy all things considered! Anyways, the first picture is the finished piece, the second is midway through the process and the last picture is the start of the piece! Thank you for looking at my post 🫶

Today was my first day. Can anyone relate?

Hello! Im in yr 11 right now and just wanted to see how other art students think im doing. I don’t currently have a predicted grade so any tips would be helpful!

i’m in year 11 now i’ve never revised before i passed all my mocks except maths when should i start revising daily?

I know school just started but i cant revise, i have no motivation (yes i know my future depends on this or something) I am genuinely struggling because i need something interactive like testing or a game or something (this could upset some people but everyone studies differently) I dont know what to do and i dont want to fail. I try and study everday but i just drift off or doodle or just doom scroll , does anyone have any suggestions

p.s im meant to be studying while writing this

I just got into year 10, and for my GCSEs i chose to do health and social, drama, history. I take notes, come home, and revise everything i've learnt that day (eg. wrote why and what PIES stands for). Am i studying way too early?

I pick my gsce’s pretty soon and idk what to choose since I want to do something like working in the medical field/ forensic person when I’m older. I’m not sure if I need any specific gsce’s for those types of jobs. At my school there’s also a criminology a-level I’m pretty sure so if anyone’s taken that do I need any specific gsce’s for that 😭

I feel kinda lost bc a lot of my friends and stuff sound like they know what they’re gonna pick and what jobs they want etc but I don’t know and I feel like times running out

first day of year 11 and im still lazy af and haven’t even tried revising as usual , just got home and doom scrolled , even after scoring badly in my mocks. How can i snap out of it and start the grind pls bc my next mocks are in november 😖😖😓😓
