It will only get worse in terms of work outside school once you;ve finished year 11. Sorry to burst your bubble..

Other than Geography coursework, I am doing fine at school right now. All my effort grades are A's but I'm struggling with my academic grades right now.

 

[Adarsh]

I'm very good at academic subjects but in order to get into Oxbridge (which is my aim) I think I need to do some more extracurricular stuff. I play cricket, table tennis, the guitar but I'm not brilliant in any of those. I should do some extracurricular activities in school that get recognized by universities, like Duke of E, and other projects.

What sort of career are u looking at?

something along the lines of marine biology/zoology


particularly looking at

Cetology (whales and dolphins)


Herpetology (reptiles + amphibians)


and finally


Ichthyology (fish)


basically im fascinated by animals, behavioural adaptations, and things like that


probably sounds borign to all you lot

 

[JamesyJames3]

Not at all. I had a fascination with sharks a few years back and did lots of research and reading up on it. However, sciences wasn't my strong point, so I couldn't really aim for that career.

 

[ste_mc_efc]

with science im fairly good at biology, aiming for an A at GCSE, physics im ok at, aiming for a B but chemistry i cant do that well, be delighted with a C (done 2 modules which is 20% of the course, and im on a b in chemistry and physics, A in Biology)


i use dot have a fascination with sharks too, but now im more fascinate with the Galapagos islands

That's cool. I've always been fascinated with Marine scientists, seems like a great job.
Sadly, I'm terrible at Bio. Can't stand the sight of anything under the skin

Maths, now that's a great subject. How many here like it?

I don't like Maths. I have one of the best teachers of it in my school, but I just don't enjoy working with numbers. English and Media Studies are my favourite subjects.

 

[ste_mc_efc]

maths, hmm i used to be very good at,. looked set for an A/A* GCSE, did well in year, fell out with teacher, didnt do any work in year 8 or 9, he didnt care and stopped attempting to teach me, got moved down for the start of year 10 and im probably salvaging a B, not bad but i know i could have done better, but if i dont get on/respect a teacher i find im incapable of listening to him, a flaw i need to work on


i hate it though, really really boring


and am not squeamish at all, i used to want to be a DR but i went off the idea,not sure why, id love to be a good one, but i dont think i want the pressue of "if you make a mistake someone could die" although id love to help people,

I don't like wearing my school uniform either. I find it uncomfortable with the collar and trousers, and too hot in summer and too cold in winter. I feel I could learn better if I was comfortable in non-uniform.
