Official AS & A2 Results Day 2016

Have you tried it on your phone? It should work by using the news app or even just googling the headlines and it'll come up. I skim read a few and they seemed to be pretty generic and focussed on the marking reforms. There was some stuff about boys choosing subjects that generated more top grades than the subjects girls tend to choose - and more entries in maths/further maths resulting in more top grades being anticipated.

What does eveyone think they got ?

Dreading it, does anyone know if UCAS can still change my application over the phone while track is down? Want to remove my insurance now because I really don't want to go and I'm worried there will be a delay getting them to release me on Thursday that might cause me to miss out on the clearing place I want 😭 I know I've left it really late but after visiting my insurance I'd been dead set on not going to uni if I don't meet my offer, it's only when I got an email about a course in clearing that I really liked the look of that I've decided to go for clearing instead

A*A*AB
Still miss my insurance and firm. Lol.

can we check track early on results day at 6;30 in the morning or do we have to check at 8?

Sorry for tagging you, but I was wondering whether it's possible to call a university now to be considered for another course with lower grades (that is already in clearing)? I have an offer of A*AA for English at Exeter but really think I'm more likely to get AAA! They have Art History and English for AAA-AAB and I adore the course and university. If I did get AAA I would seriously consider being released from my insurance to go for this course. But of course, it would be much easier to get a changed course instead! What do you think?

What!?
Are they mad?
I think I got A*AA but hoping for A* in maths to make A*A*A.

It's too late to make changes I'm afraid (and even if it wasn't you need to speak to your universities directly not UCAS - UCAS can do very little at this point).

There's very little chance you'll end up with your insurance choice. Only about 8% of people do - because most firm choices will accept grades below the offer (often a lot lower).

It is worth emailing your insurance today (email their admissions office) and explaining that if your firm reject you then you would not want to take up a place with them and would like to be placed in clearing ASAP. That means when you ring on Thrusday morning (IF you miss your firm grades and IF your firm reject you) then you can tell them they already have intructions in writing about your wishes.


You can check it but it will be offline that early. UCAS wont make track live until their phonelines are open. Their phonlines open at 7:30am.
Get more sleep!


Call them up (and follow up with an email) and let them know that if you're unsuccessful with your first choice course you would like to be considered for alternatives (especially the one you prefer) before they reject you.

TBH I doubt you'd be rejected with AAA for an A*AA English offer at Exeter unless they've had a bumper year which given their VC is all over the press saying how difficult this year will be for universities doesn't seem likely

I think his offers are Imperial and Cambridge. He is on "gap year" and already had two A*s, but he messed up badly this year due to just being lazy apparently. Ngl sounds less like a gap year and more like redoing two a levels.

Hey what can you do ey made a stupid choice not putting warwick as my insurance.
I needed 4A*s for cambridge and
A*A*AA for imperial wariwck was A*AA which was practically guaranteed so I have screwed myself over so yh.

Hi
Basically I have most probably got A*A*AB which meets course requirements for nearly all courses and can I go to adjustment with these grades even if my firm and insurance reject me?


Posted from TSR Mobile

What are you studying? My firm is Birmingham doing nuclear engineering and my insurance is Warwick doing conventional engineering. Birmingham is AAA and Warwick is AAB.

You only get the button to use adjustment if your firm accepts you - and you'll only be eligible if you meet and exceed your firm offer conditions.

If your firm and insurance reject you you'll be placed in clearing and aren't going to struggle for offers with those grades. IF you end up in clearing I strongly recommend you play the field and hold off on referring yourself officially until Friday afternoon at the earliest....even universities that say they aren't in clearing might be bending over backwards for someone with A*s and As who rings on Friday after the phones go quiet.

I'm also applying for Imperial Maths. If you got A*A*AB, I think that you have a very good chance of being accepted if they are aware of your AEA and STEP. If not, I'm not going to lie, you've really ****ed up :/ have you contacted Warwick to see if they could help you? What were the exam boards for your exams this year?

I'm really anxious, as are a lot of people, but especially for my maths result. I did edexcel and C3 was my most confident exam of all my exams, really wanted to smash it because I badly want an a*. Thought I'd done that when I got out of the hall but then my friends were talking about a Q9, which I didn't know existed. I felt so terrible! So annoyed with myself! It even made me feel sh*t for my chem 5 exam the next day. But my mum and my brother pulled me through it (what great people) and I had to pick myself up and demolish C4. I think I did that but I have cut it so fine, genuinely don't know if I've actually got the a*. I'd be fine if I found it hard or I ran out of time, but the fact I completely missed out a question is what is SO annoying!!!!

You may be thinking "what a bast*rd complaining about not getting an a*", and I completely see where you'd be coming from, but this is potentially worth thousands of £££ from the university. So that brown envelope is gonna be the death of me.

Also if you're just counting down the hours, just watch the olympics because that's really taken my mind off of results day. Come on Team GB!
