With 3 months of focussed hard work I think this is manageable, provided you've been up to date with your studies throughout the whole school year. Hope this helps :)
I am an international student. I want to apply to UK universities, but I only study A-levels, is GCSE necessary for applying to universities? What is GCSE used for?
does anyone at all have low grades (7's) at Gcse???? like in the core subjects of bio chem math and physics bc i got 7 and 6's not rlly thinking GCSE's were that important but idk now im seriously doubting that. I did achieve some A*'s and A's just not a lot and mostly in essay based subjects.
@CharlieJones0123 if your International it shoudnt really matter, they will probably ask for your academic background in your native country and it will probably have to be quite strong especially since ur International. dont quote me on this tho bc im 16 and i havent even started applying yet lmaoo.
@@CharlieJones0123 Sixth form: Depends if you’re less academic and go to college they don’t matter, but u basically have no traditionak academic future without good GCSES. So when applying to sixth form / college mainly GCSEs matter, they’re literally what gets u in. Uni: GCSEs are less important now. It depends if ur aiming for an average or top uni. Top unis care about GCSEs. Average unis only care about GCSE subject results for Rnglish maths and whatever you’re doing at uni. But when you apply to uni, they mainly look at alevrel results 90% and 10% GCSEs. Gcses are way easier than alevel that’s why. For competitive courses such as Oxford, Cambridge, ucl, med in general your GCSEs definitely matter. They’re way more competitive. Hope this helps:)
H!! watching this video i was so shocked, i am going into year 13 this september, i do the same A levels, got the same grades at the end of yr 12 and am predicted A*AAA for UCAS too 😭😭. I am worried because my grades are not the highest they can be and because my resits are in between my UCAT and BMAT i may have to sacrifice my subject revision time for BMAT. How do you think i can go about this please?
Hi, thanks for this. I wanted to ask how many hours (on average) you studied whilst doing A levels and then during medicine at Oxford and what you would consider a good minimum amount of hours?
You're welcome! On average I'd say 6-8hrs a day on the days I'm not going into school (i.e. study leave, weekends etc). Tbh I'd say 5-6 hours is a good minimum as long as you're concentrating for those hours you're working! hope this helps
My school allowed it! Some schools only let students do 3 A Levels, but for mine 4 was an option. If your school doesn't allow students to take 4 A Levels then the university won't penalise you for not having 4. Hope this helps :)

igcse is a must cuz it shows that u finished ur secondary. u need ur igcse score to go to a level which is a pre uni and then its uni. if u have done any other secondary level exams in different country, however, u dont need to do igcse.
