Well I highly doubt that they did all their GCSEs in one session. They likely did no more than 9-10 in one session, and did the rest along with their AS or A levels. Distributing GCSEs is better.
@@LevelUP84bro in my school you take gcse’s in year 9 and 10 and you take them all at once at the end of year 10 so they teach half the curriculum in year 9 and the other half in year 10 and expect you to remember everything from last year💀
i watched this a few months ago and thought no way i can become a doctor.. now i got my gcses and alhamdulillah i got all 9;s and 2 8's. the hard work pays off.
@@harleenb190yeah make sure you complete your Cgp revision guide and exam book then go on pmt and compete all questions after that keep doing past papers, if you get really stuck watch freesciencelessons
@@luun4rsubliminals I hope so The grades requirements where I live are different I guess. My school doesn't even offer taking more than 8. And they're igcses not gcses so maybe that changes it too?
@@unravel9716 I’ve applied to dentistry, and the grade requirements are pretty much the same as medicine. When they go through your application they dont really look at how many GCSE’s you’ve taken, rather the amount of subjects you’ve achieved high grades in. They’re going to prefer someone with only 5 GCSEs all A*s over someone who has 10 GCSEs with Bs and Cs. Its a tad bit risky taking more GCSEs since you have more subjects to worry about, but 8 GCSEs are the standard amount anyway so there’s no need to worry :)
@@luun4rsubliminals Thanks for letting me know :D I took only 6 subjects and just finished my last exam yesterday. The past 2 years have been tough because of igcses for me and all my classmates, no one really finds it easy I guess. It was like we spent them stressing and studying for tests and time flew by just like that. I know a levels and everything in future will be harder but yeah igcses have already given me horrible memories. I worked real hard tho so I hope I can get all A*s. Anyway I know some of my older friends who took 8 subjects, and knowing that I took less than them they think I'm dumb and or just don't want to study. But I really just took less because I know my limits and what I can achieve, unlike them who got C's in some subjects but still feel inferior just cause they took more subjects talking down to me. It's just absurd. I could've definitely taken more subjects if I wanted to but that wouldn't guarantee all As for me so I didn't
i gave 11 got all A*s and As. You just gotta relax and keep working and you will get the desired results i promise. In my first attempt i only got 4 As out of 8 and got 4 Bs i was very dissapointed but i did not give up and gave the exams again i gave 2 more with them and i got the result i wanted. If you keep working i promise god will create ways for you, just keep puting in the work and have faith in god and you will get the result you want.
No it probably won't because the med schools only really care about the effort put into the application for med school overall plus the grades, so I would worry to much
Focus on getting good grades at a level but also obtain a good grade on the UKCAT/BMAT. Research each medical school requirements also! Additionally, good experience volunteering/healthcare experience in a care setting. If all else fails and you don’t make it the first time keep going! You can also do post graduate medicine with an undergraduate degree.
@@billjackson3533taking 8 GSCE subjects is really tough, im taking them right now and more than half of my classes ate math/ science (Physics,Bio,Chem,Computer science, Math) while the other 3 are knowledge based idk what else you expect from 15 year olds?
@@heynotizzy7493 I’m doing 12 rn and I’m not finding it too hard. I’m doing maths, further maths, physics, biology and chemistry, computing, music, business, history and re.
@@sussyroth8745nah a grade 7 is a low A a grade 8 is a high A or low A* unis/sixth forms look at 8s as A*s and a grade 9 is a high A* 8s and 9s are not separated
Those are good grades hence you got in! Many people haven’t gotten into medical school due to their GCSE here grades so it’s important not to spread misinformation ‼️ If you check Medical school requirements many if them have a minimum threshold 🚶🏽♂️
@@LydieandHazal Correct, i mean in the General over view of all gcse grades. Most medical schools will just require A or B in mathematics, double science and English. As A levels are a better predicter of ability. However, some medical schools will require certain number of A* and A grades in total - but they are minority. Reason been they want to filter candidates out and take the best as UK has limited medical school places.
@@dominicwilliams8452 was average score. Hull York medical school, has high student satisfaction Feed back and York is beautiful. Also liked Edinburgh but was rejected. Edinburgh, Kings and Cambridge are probably most competitive.
To everyone panicking because there only taking eight GCSE’s if the People in the video took triple science and fast maths that adds up to an extra five GCSE’s
do ppl not know you apply to med school in the uk with your a level predicted grades not your gcses, its kinda rare for them to care that much about gcses
actually a lot of med schools in the UK use gcses as a cut off point to reduce the application process. The general point is if you didn't get mostly 6s and above then a lot of med schools will not look at your application very much
i literally got into med with mediocre gcses because generally med schools usually only ask for your gcse english language and maths to be 6 or above - the rest is heavily weighted on ucat and predicted grades to get an interview @@LevelUP84 🤷♂ (maybe actually do your own research before coming at me)
@@kepler22-bI left UK and iv always found a way there are so many options and opportunities in the big bad world ..and internet makes it much easier to achieve wat you want ...retaking gcses would have been like eaten porcelain China for me .... open mind + ambition + the will to succeed you can achieve anything these days.. school is only made for the "Bright" kids if you fall short especially in UK you will be in factory ... the majority of people especially the ones that are successful had nothing in school ..
Heyhey, I think you should check the medical school council entrey requirements pdf to see what GCSE's med skls in the UK would like you to have upon applying to help inform your decision. If you're grades don't meet the threshold then there are other alternative methods to get into medicine like doing a degree first or retaking certain exams etc 🙌🏽
@@juventusfan4873 do blurting for each topic of subject on mindmaps-> then add things you missed out = helps you remember. If you still dont get it use yt freesciencelessons/ cognito ,etc.Then after learning/ understanding topics do questions on it. See ur weak topics and focus on them. For maths go on mathsgenie rev and try do all the topics 🤍
@@juventusfan4873 I’m a Year 12 and I got 6 grade 8s and 4 grade 9s - past papers are really good for gcse level because they consolidate your knowledge well. there’s not really any need for note taking outside of class work so I liked to use flash cards for things I struggled with in previous tests so I could consolidate that knowledge! Hope it helps ^^
these are good grades!!! you can check the different medical schools' entry requirements for GCSEs but your grades are good! dont say you dont have a chance as you do!
@@spirehistory Unfortunately for most medicak schools GCSE are taken into consideration and do matter. Check the medical school council pdf to see the entry requirements and avoid misinformation 🫶🏽🙌🏽
Does anyone think it is possible to get straight 9s? It’s been my dream for ages but no one thinks I can actually do it, so does anyone know if it has been done before?
@@quilliana_1472 yea I do 12 because I do fm and re, I’m aiming for 8’s and 9’s in everything, because I don’t have the best work ethic, since you do 11 you sound smart so with the right work ethic 8 recon you could.
@@arthurmorgan466 I’m sure I can get 8s it’s just nines in some subject that I have to work for. I think I’m just going to have to drop my social life but I’m sure it’s fine 😭
