GCSE & A-levels: What you need to know

Ofqual has made it clear that 2023 marks a transition back to pre-pandemic exam conditions, with results expected to reflect grades from 2019 more than those in 2022. In practical terms, this means that students sitting exams in 2023 will have statistically lower odds of getting A grades when compared to the 2022 cohort. Grade boundaries will be determined after senior examiners have reviewed the quality of the work and there is no set quota of how many students can achieve A grades.

Despite the drop in international student applications, elite universities in the UK remain highly sought after.

For many years, the top Universities in the UK have been the source of worldwide admiration. Every year, a considerable number of international students come to the UK to pursue higher education, with many aspiring to secure admission to renowned Universities like Oxford and Cambridge. In the QS World University Rankings 2023, Oxford and Cambridge ranked #2 and #4 respectively, while in the Times Higher Education World University Rankings 2023, they secured #1 and #3 positions. It's worth noting that while the UK has several outstanding Universities, the academic eminence and long-established reputations of Oxford (founded 1096) and Cambridge (founded 1209) make them especially appealing to employers seeking their graduates. This has made studying at these prestigious institutions even more alluring to international students.

Why is Literature Valuable in our Society?

"Since I was a child, at the ripe age of 6, I welcomed literature with open arms.", shares Mehreen, English Tutor at Carfax Education. I remember squinting in the dark, reading books like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Charlotte’s Web, well past my bedtime. Literature has always been my escape from reality, especially when it came to the notorious Harry Potter book series - I was obsessed.
