The Exam Mock Season has come to an end. Now the hard part has begun – receiving the results. Despite the difficulties and sheer intensity of completing the papers, receiving the actual result (for me at least) is always a challenge!

It’s the second week back to school and things are starting to settle down. This week brought happiness and some disappointment as Oxbridge applicants received their results.

The assessment period has arrived with a scheduled Chemistry test during Period 3 on the topic we have just completed. The presence of study periods gave me the opportunity to recap and undergo further revision to aid my understanding.

Beginning the week with two study periods gives me an opportunity to catch-up and prepare for upcoming tests but mainly a chance to socialise and inform my friends about the eventful weekend I had.

The past week has been one of UCAS misadventures. Whilst the upper sixth has braced the most memorable of slip ups already, an unintended Welsh application and incorrect course code to name a few, this week has been the final push for those doing early applications. A stressful time which has seen countless teachers sift […]
