Official AS & A2 Results Day 2016

Scroll to see replies

Oh, my insurance kept sending me emails to apply for accommodation but I'm not sure if they differentiate.

And ugh, that's awful! I get my results at 7, thank goodness. Will you be able to check on the way to school?

They probably do. And that's really good I guess. Most don't want to differentiate between insurance and clearing/advancement I guess.

7?! I'd hate that :s-smilie:

I'd rather see my track first and then get results so either I've already had my mini-panic before results or I go in knowing whatever the results they don't matter so I won't be too disappointed.

I'll have 5 minutes from when track is meant to update until I need to go to school so it just means if I don't get in I'll be mid-panic when I collect my results.

Debating whether I should go out and get pissed the night before results day so I can calm myself down a bit.

But if I end up with bad news or in clearing, the last thing I want to have is a hangover.

Decisions, decisions.

ABB for both of mine, but my firm is more lenient. I haven't even applied for accommodation or anything at my insurance!

Mine both want AAA lol but I'm hoping one is lenient ( wishful thinking ) and oh gosh I would be stressing if I were you but if your uni is known to be lenient then should be alright

Nowhere near as well as I wanted them to go. I didn't work hard until the start of May so it was an intense 2 months of cramming. I think I've gotten AAAA (ill regret saying that) except Maths went weird and I think it will be borderline A/B.

Excited but worried about living up to my hopes and expectations.

Hey i would really appreciate feedback from everyone on TSR about the following issue:

For the October/November exam timetable i have noticed that CIE have placed several exams applying to all levels over very religious Jewish holidays. I would like to find out if anyone else has been affected by these exams as CIE dont seem bothered to help out with this issue. i would really appreciate if i could get assistance on this matter as i feel as though have been left alone to deal with an issue which i am sure others are also facing.

I look forward to your responses

Laila, in my opinion, religious holidays/festivals shouldn't get a special status when it comes to exams. If Fred can't get his exam moved because of his uncle's birthday, or Katie isn't granted mitigating circumstances for a family barbecue, then I'm afraid Jewish holidays are no different.

I would try and work around the religious holidays. Imagine if people saw an issue with exams around scientifically - rather than religiously - important events, such as the transit of Venus, a monarch butterfly migration or a solar eclipse. It just doesn't cut it I'm afraid.

I would be genuinely interested to see what others think about this. Good luck with your exams.

To be honest, I'm not really dreading it anymore
If I get in, great, if not then I'll have to take a gap year which would be great after 13 years of education and it's not exactly the end of the world :smile:

Basically exactly how I feel. Okay generally, but worried about a couple of exams and really don't want to end up at my insurance.

Terrifying innit. I thought AS was bad...A2 is another level.
