When is there ever a right time?
if there was, such words would cease to exist.
But how could a singular utterance ever suffice,
for your inopportune embarkment to the land of the missed.

Still unfinished in this world,
so who am I now, just a root from your callow stunted stem, Or am I on my own?
That is a matter I must condemn.

An orphan of this earth,
in which I now feel I don't belong.
Yet I mustn't put the onus on you,
as the dead can do no wrong.

Please tell me the way in which I live up to your honour.
Is that even something that is attainable, and soon?
I can't, I surrender, I wave my white flag at survival,
but this time, since I get to be with you it doesn't seem so inopportune.

I’m looking into starting an access to HE in Science as like I’m sure most of you here, I want to make a change how life currently is and want to do something useful for myself. I’m 24 and have been out of education almost 10 years now. I left school with pretty much no GCSEs but mostly due to things going on in my life at the time.

But basically my question is how basic does the access course begin. I understand it’s A-Level equivalent but does it ease you in slowly and recap on the basics or is it straight into A-level standard immediately once starting. I’m just trying to weigh up my options and see whether I should do the GCSE course first or if I’d be okay going straight to the access course.

My sister is currently doing her GCSE’s and to help her find her biology revision a bit more fun before she took the exam we both did a higher biology past paper together, fully expecting to laugh at the score I got but I was pleasantly surprised and looking at the grade boundaries for that years paper I would’ve got around a grade 7 so I’ve got the basic GCSE level knowledge just not the piece of paper to prove it 🤣 but how important would it be for me to have the GCSE when applying to university if I was to pass the access course?

Also from what I’ve seen the access to science includes all three sciences. Is that set as standard and you have to do a mix of the three throughout the course or can you pick your preference and have it in one of the three sciences?
