Official AS & A2 Results Day 2016

I will be too if I don't make it

Best of luck!

I'm in the same position! I only got 3 offers (applied for a very competitive course), and they all required the same grades. The 2 uni's I got rejected from had lower grades and one of them would have been my insurance. It puts so much pressure on for next week.

Applying for Imperial College Maths, my offer is one grade higher than the standard offer as my MAT grade (51) was kinda low for Imperial. My offer is A*A*A* in Maths, Further Maths and Physics. I did Maths last year, and got an A*, this year I've done Further Maths, Physics and Chemistry. I think I've made my offer but not completely sure. My Further Maths is definitely an A* as I checked my answers with friends and tsr. I can't tell how well I did on one of the physics exams so kinda worried about that but the other two parts should be close to full ums. I think my chemistry will be on the A/A* boundary. Although they have asked for an A* in physics, if I got an A* in Chemistry and missed out by a couple of marks in Physics, would they still let me in? Would I have to ring? Any opinions or help will be appreciated.

You could try ringing, but none of us can say for certain. It's worth bearing in mind, however, that they'll have had your results (not UMS marks though) for a few days before you'll have got them so they'll have had plenty of time to come to a decision.

For AS I did Plath and Hughes for the poetry section and Tom Stoppard's Arcadia for the play.

For A2 I did Blake's Songs of Innocence and Experience for the poetry and Shakespeare's King Lear and Sophocles' Oedipus Rex.

I enjoyed A2 way more than AS because I think I understood the content way more, even though Arcadia is now one of my favourite dramas!

What did you both study and how did you find it?

Does anyone know anyone who has been accepted at uni for not having the entry requirement subject shown at their website? (just curious)

Well I've not been accepted yet (fingers crossed) but was confused the other day when I refreshed myself with the stuff on my course and saw that the standard offer listed on their website had changed from A*AA to A*A*A. Not sure what that's about

Can you all believe I turned down an unconditional offer from the University of Birmingham HAHAHAHA whose an idiot sandwich? I AM

I feel the same about not firming an offer that would have been unconditional. But I suppose you must have had a reason for it - you preferred somewhere else? Life is about risk...
Good luck for results day, if you got an unconditional from Birmingham I'm sure you are capable of great things.

Yeah, but 4B 15 markers were definitely a lot more harsh for me :s I dont remember exactly but regret not putting down the critiques of conservatives on feminism :/ but i did talk about liberal, third wave feminism and islam critiques on feminism, dont think i did particularly well on that question..

Yeah, I firmed an offer from a more highly ranked university. It was cerainly risky and I still believe I made the right decision, although it's becoming increasingly difficult to accept that. Thank you for that, I'm sure you are too

I'm (hopefully) starting law in September too - I'm guessing you are too from the gavel in your picture. May I ask which uni you firmed?

Don't worry for worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubble gum.

Honestly, what will be will be. Worrying yourself sick will change nothing, all our fates will be sealed by now. Try to stop thinking of it by occupying your wandering mind with something.

I was terrible before nearly all of my exams. Must've had about 3 or 4 hours of sleep the nights prior. Exercise and not revising anywhere near sleeping time are essential in my view.

Drugs

Piriton is amazing for making you drowzy enough for a good night's sleep (well I find it is).

My OH uses natrasleep or 5HTP.

A bit of chemical assistance to get the sleep you need when your brain is working against you is fine.

Or alternatively I find listening to the radio on a low volume is often enough to distract me but not engage me so I can drop off (radio 4 Gardeners Question Time is my favourite at the moment - it's not boring but it's not exciting enough to keep me awake so with a dark room and 45 minutes I'll usually be gone before it finishes).

I've known some people who swear by listening to ASMR videos to get them to sleep - might be worth a try if it's getting to be an issue.

so... Unis got results yet?

Uggh this is so nerve-wracking, but no worse than waiting for BMAT results.
