Join Laura and Ron as they say bon voyage to the GCSE era of the podcast… They begin with Laura and Ron’s goals for A Level Science. Obviously they fully intend to be professional podcasters from now on so no olives and nothing. Laura ponders note pad theory and Ron talks about his plans to organise better.
Should they get some kind of useful tattoo? A periodic table across the abdomen?
Laura brings a summary of the entirety of the exam results and a look at the difference that doing higher tier can get you as a grade. We look at where Laura sits in the national grade averages for the year 2024.
Then we begin to look ahead… the Eggathon is just around the corner and so plans are afoot for how that will go.
Laura brings her top five favourite titles from the GCSE era to the table. Then we look at some of the most memorable bits of science… that’s a really short section.
Then we look at our most memorable moments from the not science and to be honest it’s nicer, more fun and more honest because we do actually remember some of the nonsense.
Then we get round to your input - your favourite moments, episode and things about Lexx Education. All things we will be maintaining into A Level despite the professionalism of the podcasting to come. Then we get to Ron’s surprise retrospective section which I won’t spoil here. Finally, Ron talks us through as much of what’s coming up in AS Level as he can before Laura loses interest and stops him.
