Our Lord! Verily, we have heard the call of one calling to Faith: 'Believe in your Lord,' and we have believed.
Our Lord! Forgive us our sins and expiate from us our evil deeds, and make us die (in the state of righteousness) along with Al-Abrar

the only hard bit in getting into cambridge is getting a triple A, at a2, i've spoken to the actual lecturers, the way cambridge admits people is very very unique. They take into account, the individual, when cambridge asks for people,
and i quote :
dont want students who lock themselves in a room and study study who have excellent grades but no social life.

If you got personality and grades, you're in, the only hard bit is AAA at a2, which isnt too hard if you apply yourself from the beginning, GCSE is a total nightmare, doing all these subjects which you dont have choice over dropping (for me its maths)
^^^^^^ yeah it is quite big, but you get used to it, untill it doesnt feel that big anymore....... i remember in yr 7 when we started skool (5 years ago) it was like huge to us, now were used to it.....
