Not being nervous is good I reckon - enough time for that as you get closer to the day! The official title of my degree is Psychology and Speech Pathology - basically a double honours degree of psychology and speech and language therapy - what a mixture eh???


I wish it was closer haha it's hard to fully enjoy a holiday when you've results day looming over your head. Ooo that sounds quite interesting tho I don't think I'll be able to survive two years of writing essays in A-level psychology hahaha

That count down is back :hide:

Can you not use the grade boundries? Dont mean to sound rude just a genuine question.

AFAIK, grade boundaries don't show the cut-off point for full UMS but other than that you can because of the linear relationship between UMS and raw marks.

100% UMS is either twice the difference of the A and B grade boundries added to the A boundry or the maximum mark available on the paper, whichever is lower.

I did AQA psychology and I think the exams went really well so I'm expecting an A and seeing as loopa flopped with his predictions this year I doubt the boundaries will shift that much ; will probably drop down a mark or so if anything :smile:
Did anyone do edexcel biology?

I did A2 politics (3+4C) and 3 didn't go so great, but I felt better about 4. Don't really know what to expect :frown:

Probably a stupid question but is a 3 quarter length bed smaller than a single? The pictures look bigger but it can't be right?
LMFAO IKR!!!

I do psychology and history, which topics did you do for each? I'm literally relying on coursework for history... praying to scrap an A somehow! The psychology papers were decent though

How about you??
You have my sympathies - I still remember the long wait for results! And yes the course is interesting and uni essays are a whole different ball game to A level ones - though I don't mind essays which is good because I took 4 essay based A levels lol (sociology psychology RS and English lit/language). Try to enjoy the rest of your holiday - have some fun!

Do you mean a 3/4 quarter size bed rather than a 3/4 length? If so I think that's what they call a queen size bed - bigger than a single but smaller than a double bed

Yes and I didn't know that!!! Most uni beds are 3 quarter sized and I always assumed that they were small :lol:
LOL no its definitely not small - bugger to get bedding for though - single won't fit and won't a double fitted sheet be too big??? Oh the trials we students have to face :smile:

I've already got single sheats for beds :frown: because I thought that they were small and my mum said singles would fit... And now I'm realising that they will be too small. I might needs more pillows too.
I have a feeling a double sheat is the only option.
Looks like you have some more shopping to do. Oh well it's another distraction I suppose :biggrin: Had to buy new bedding too - after 2 years in a single bed at uni I get a double in this year's accommodation! Might get lost in a double bed as I am only tiny lol!
