Im so scared about gcses?!?! 10 easy points?
Hey Meg, as a year 12 student who took her gcses only last year i know exactly how you feel :) I always really good at english but maths was always a low point for me, like you. I also did a BTEC diploma rather than optional subjects. It consisted of coursework only, rather than exams which i found worked better for me, so in the end i only had to take exams in Maths, English Lit and Lang, IT and Science. I know it seems that teachers are always nagging at you for coursework but pleaseee listen to me when i say: Listen to them!!! coursework is an easy way to boost your grade and you can always go back and tweak it, something which you obviously cant do in an exam. I regret not making so much of an effort with my english lit coursework :( In the end i got a merit in my btec (equivalent to 4 b's) a b in english language, it and a c in science. i got d's in english lit and maths. even if you don't do well in the exams, don't panic, you'll come to realise that gcses aren't really as important as teachers stress out, especially if your going to college. To be honest, if you're thinking of doing a levels, employers are gonna be far more interested in those than your gcse results. Plus, most colleges and sixth forms offer you the chance to retake your maths and english gcses if you fail them, so its not all bad :) Anyway, enough with the negative!! I'm sure you'll be totally fine, think positive and try your hardest. Best of Luck. xxxx
How good do your GCSEs (9-1) have to be to get into Oxbridge?
There is no minimum GCSE requirement to be offered a place on an Oxford undergraduate degree course. GCSE results will be considered alongside your personal statement, academic reference, predicted grades and performance in any written work or written test required for your course. If you are shortlisted, your performance in interviews will also be taken into account.Higher grades at GCSE can help to make your application more competitive, and successful applicants typically have a high proportion of A and A* grades (7,8 and 9). However, tutors look at GCSE grades in context. Where possible, tutors will be made aware of the overall GCSE performance of the school or college where you studied. They will also have information on how you have performed compared with other Oxford applicants at similar schools.Although there isn't a minimum requirement, if you have GCSEs, you would be expected to have strong grades in the subject(s) directly related to the degree you're applying for. Eg if you apply to Maths you would be expected to have a high grade in GCSE Maths.Oxford accepts students from around the world: many from totally different education systems who don't have any GCSEs.There's lots of information on the central Oxford University website about this. Some departments have course specific guidance on the average GCSE profile of their successful candidates on their websites too. But it's just that: an average, not a requirement.
Can I study Engineering at Cambridge with a C in GCSE English language?
Thanks for A2ASince Oxbridge will be expecting such results or even better from their prospective candidates, your excellent A-level grades and any extra-curricular activities related to your field of interest would let you outshine in your interview. A C in English could hinder your chance, but if your future results are better then it won’t matter much since Maths and English should be A-C in most universities anyway. However, some students I know who got into Cambridge (science students mostly) took at least 4–5 A-levels compared to the traditional 3 A-levels. So something to keep in mind, if you really wish to stand out.All the best in your A-levels!
Can i be a lawyer with an averge set of gcse results?
The short answer is yes at gcse that performance would be enough, but you would need to up you game at college and uni. To become a lawyer you will need to go to uni and to go to uni you will need to go to sixth form and to get into sixth form you will need 5 a-c gcse grades, which is what your getting so your on track. But make sure you pass english, as although you will be able to get into college without a gcse in english you may not be able to take law as the requirements for a level law vary at each college but usally require you to have at least a c in english. Finally, for your a levels I would defintely suggest doing law if you want to become a lawyer as for the rest try to pick ones that relate to law or ones you enjoy. But to get into a good uni which will make your path to uni easy you should be aiming for a b in all three a levels at least. And just a quick note once you've got a levels they dont really look at your gcse's, but they could become the deciding factor if you've got two similar candidates but ones got poor gcse's, but your gcse's arent poor they are probably right on the national average.
I got my IGCSE results and I have a C in Biology, Physics and Chemistry and Math but got a B in English. Do you think I will be accepted in college?
I don’t like being discouraging, but in the UK at least, I don’t think you would stand much chance of going on to study Medicine at university with GCSE results like these.This is for two reasons. The first is A levels: in order to go on to do Medicine at university, you will need A levels in at least Chemistry and Biology, plus another subject (probably Maths or Physics, though it doesn’t have to be). And in order to be able to cope with A levels in Maths or science subjects, you really do need to have got at least B grades, and preferably A or A* grades, in those subjects at GCSE. With only Cs, you are not likely to be able to understand the A level work.The second reason is that Medicine is a fiercely competitive subject, and every year there are many students who have the right A level grades and still don’t get a place at university to study Medicine. There are just far more students wanting to do Medicine than places for them to study it. So the universities are able to demand very high grades at both GCSE and A level, and refuse all students who don’t seem likely to achieve results like these. And your GCSEs suggest that you would not be likely to do that well.But look, don’t give up on this. As others have said, it is possible that you will do much better at A level than you did at IGCSE. So what I would suggest is that you work very hard at your A level subjects, and aim to get really, really good grades. And if you manage it, then you can apply to do Medicine, once you have got those great results. Like that, you will have proved that the IGCSEs were not a good reflection of what you can do, and that when you get your head down and really work you can do as well as the most brilliant student.That way, it’s all up to you!
I need help with geometry! I only got as far as drawing a picture... (Triangles, square roots)?
Well, this is simple. Just spot the new right triangles (each median serves the formation of a new triangle having the median as hypotenuse). So, let the triangle be ABC, /_A=|_ D=middle point of AB side, E=middle point of AC side, CD=2root3, BE=root 73. Then, in triangle - ADC, AD^2+AC^2=CD^2, when AD=AB/2 - AEB, AE^2+AB^2=EB^2, when AE=AC/2 - ABC, AB^2+AC^2=BC^2, and you are looking for BC.
42 out of 60 whats my grade? C right? perccent = ?
you can figure this out all mathematical-like like this: part % ____ = ____ whole 100 so in ur case you'd go: 42 % ___ = ____ 60 100 so cross multiply: 42 x 100. then divide by 60. and BAM! there's ur percentage! it always works! to answer ur question.... you got a 70% so yeah it's a c
If arc AB measures 135 degrees what is the length of the radius of this circle?
Sheesh girl a little late in the year for math isn't it? But yeah here let me help An arc of 135º measures 9cm, so in order to find the circumference of the circle you have to divide 9*360º/135º=24cm C=circumference and R= radius C=24=2π*R R=24/2π=12/π=3.82cm Hope this helps and let me know if you need anything else. :-) ~*V-honey*~
