Pupil Voices丨The Stories Behind Exam Success

I felt quite good after receiving the results. I will continue to find my thoughts about the future at university. My time at Wellington is decent. The teachers are quite supportive of me, and I enjoy spending every day with my classmates, who are both intriguing and unique. My advice is to follow yourself and your passion from the heart.

Whether I can go to my dream university is fully dependent on my A Level results this year, so they are extra important to me. And the fact that I passed my conditions brings me mixed emotions: joy and excitement for moving into London and starting a new chapter of my life but also anxiety for not knowing what is there waiting ahead.

Actually, I was so surprised about my AS results. I didn’t expect that I would get 3A at first. I am quite satisfied with all of them. I even got full marks in statistics which I struggled with before. I just want to say a huge thank you to every subject teacher for their dedicated and responsible teaching over several terms. Without their help, I wouldn’t make such great progress.

Everyone gripped their hearts tight before the results were released, and I was not an exception. Yet, the outcome was quite amazing, and in fact, some of them were beyond my expectations. After screaming, the first thing I did was share the good news with my teachers. I would never have imagined getting these results without their incredible support over the past two years. They are so kind, inspiring, and responsible that I feel so fortunate to be in their classes.

I have a small dream about becoming one of the world’s most reputable surgeons. I will study hard in university, while staying close to music and make the most out of myself during my time here.

I wish I would keep practising hard on my drawing skills and improve the shortages. Enjoy my first year in college.

With the help of the school university counselling team, I found my preferred future major and my career plan. I'm going to study international management, which will enable me to work in multinational companies. Besides, I'm very interested in marketing, and I think it's interesting to convince people to consume products.

Currently, my thoughts for the future are simple: completing my A Levels and my language exams with my best effort and hope for the best. Also, I will do my best to apply to universities and such. During my time at Wellington, the teachers here supported me and provided me with the necessary help that I needed to pass my exams, my friends also helped me a lot regarding revision work, especially the time I spent with my Benson roommates, they have supported me and we have revised together and giver each other support.

I’ve been in Wellington for thirteen years. It’s just like my home where my childhood and teenage hood belong. Walking along the first-floor corridor reminds me of so many memories from when I was little. It is a place that I would miss the most in my life and also the first place I’ll be reminded of if anyone refers to my childhood.

I have been in Wellington for 2 years. Wellington offered me a wide range of A Level subject options which gave me freedom to choose. Also, there’s a wide range of ASAs for pupils to choose from, including academic academics, sports etc. It enables me to prepare for my university application. I attended ‘The National Economics Challenge’ 2 times and the ‘Freakonomics club’ did support me a lot. In addition, I became a better person in Wellington, and the school values affected me a lot.

Academically, I am glad to have all my teachers. Their lessons are exciting and so much fun with loads of precious memories. Something else I would really like to mention is the decorations in each classroom and corridor; they create a sense of belonging, which helps me immerse myself in study. Everyone can get involved in discussions and be engaged in lessons. In addition to that, I want to focus more on the non-academic life. Wellington offers so many opportunities for pupils to showcase their talents and explore their potential. Taking my past year as an example, I took part in the CNY bazaar, chess tournament, lunchtime concert, summer fair, drama and many other events. I also set up my own calligraphy club, which helps me develop my leadership skills. These activities became a vital part of my fantastic school life and, more importantly, helped me grow as a person.

This year will be my fifth school year in Wellington. For me, Wellington is not only the place where I study but it is more like my second home; my teachers are like my parents as well. While gaining and learning deeper knowledge, I have also developed lots of wonderful friendships with my classmates who have been a source of happiness and motivation. While studying hard in Wellington, experiencing the amazing campus life is also essential!

I would like to encourage those pupils who will take the art or textile exams next year to do a good job of their portfolio and do not limit themselves to a certain kind of technology. Be brave enough to try different mediums, experiment and explore different fields, professions and styles of artists. Do not limit yourself to the scope of your subject, but also try to expand your subject, it is also recommended to read more news, secretaries and so on to accumulate their own knowledge reserves.

Like any other long-term tasks, always keep in mind your goals and work towards them. Make logical and workable plans. Believe in yourself!

For those of you who are studying for IGCSE, there is no rush to decide on your major at this stage - be brave in terms of trying and making mistakes, and by the end of Year 11 you will have a clear idea of what you are good at. A tip from me might be: Determine your future language requirements while exploring and meet them during IGCSE time if your ability allows.

As for your A Level pupils, the most important thing is to select courses, which you can talk to your counsellor or visit the official website of your university to see the entry requirements. A level courses are definitely richer in contents and more in-depth than IGCSE, so "pre-exam hard working " is not feasible. After learning the entire syllabus, it is essential to allow yourself with some time to do the past paper questions before taking the exam.

First of all, I think we should trust our teachers. They are very capable of guiding us to achieve a satisfying result. Nevertheless, cooperation and communication are indispensable. Actively engage in lessons and never be afraid of asking for help. Secondly, be courageous. Try to push yourself out of your comfort zone, make more new attempts, and eventually you may be surprised by your potential. After that, I would say to always remain positive. This helps us cope with any difficulties or challenges with resilience. As we step into exam year groups, it would be great to find a way to deal with pressure or stress and remain positive. Besides, don't miss out on any fun events or activities. They make school life more fun and memorable. It will help with your time management skills as well. Wish you all best of luck.
