Official AS & A2 Results Day 2016

Adjustment IS clearing in reality. The only university that takes part in adjustment and not Clearing is UCL - and even they will use Clearing for "procedural expediency" (http://www.ucl.ac.uk/srs/academic-manual/documents/annexes_2016-17/chapter_1_annexes_16-17/Annex_1.1.3_UG_Recruitment_and_Admissions_Good_Practice.pdf ) ie if an amazing candidate approaches them who is in clearing and not adjustment for some reason then they'll open up a course for that specific candidate.

UCL isn't exactly the best of Unis for maths tbh

will the grade boundaries be released tonight?

AQA is relieving at 8AM tomorrow.
All others any time tomorrow before 6PM is a safe bet.

I wasn't offering maths specific advice - just explaining that adjustment and clearing are interchangeable in the eyes of all universities - except UCL (and even for that exception they will admit people via clearing they just don't advertise in clearing)

Yh i didnt revise at all this year. I did M4 properly as a module and U4 Physics. So yh. I could get 4A*s but it is not that unlikely. I either get A* in AFM or a B since I have met the A* condition with M3-5 definately as M3/4 are definately at 100ums. But I need 480/600 and i didnt recise for D1 and did slightly worse on D2 then needed(need like 5 ums and A* is done lol) then S4 i got what a needed.
U4 physics felt like full UMS but U5 went slightly worse and feel like i made stupid errors and lost an easy A*.
Yeh imperial said they will consider it since I have some other things I emailed imperial about which will help me alot i reckon.

Summertime sadness

Believe it or not I had a mate who did the exact same as you, and I felt awful when I had to tell him that there were 9 questions not 8. But what I told him and what I'll tell you is that actually there's still a lot of hope. The A* this year I believe will be about 66 (slightly easier than last year's paper which was 65), and I believe the last question was worth around 8 marks. So actually, if you did smash the rest of the C3 paper, chances are you got nearly 90UMS. And if you did "demolish" C4, chances are you've got the A*.

Good luck for results day 🙏🏾

I am hoping warwick maths will do something then.
Should I contact warwick maths on friday?
I have emailed them but no reply at all.
I would be worried since warwick maths is very oversubscribed.

Wait... Are there separate clearing and adjustment lists and unis who don't advertise in both could still let you in??? (Or is this just UCL)

Yeah I've been secretly following your story it's pretty interesting and shocking. Could the modules rearrange from Maths and Further Maths so that you could get the 480 in additional. It must be so frustrating for you. Do you really think that you got C's in the other three maths modules tho!?
Which exam board was physics? I reckon Imperial will let you in, but emailing or ringing Warwick or UCL may help just in case. They wouldn't miss out on taking you, you seem like the type who should be going to Cambridge ngl.

Cheers.
Where abouts are you from, just wondering if you're actually someone from my school?
(Doubt it though.)

It's JUST UCL. Every other university has their clearing lists on UCAS/their websites and those are the vacancies for adjustment too. UCL for some reason don't list their places in clearing but have a few places available for adjustment (but in actuality they will take people through clearing too)...generally they're looking for people who have met the UCL standard offer grades.

People don't understand when I say I didn't revise.
I did not learn S4(learnt it on the morning literally a few distributions and got around 40UMS)
I did not learn D1 at all probably got a U only answered 2 questions.
Learnt half of D2 at night got around a D.
Learnt all of S3 2/3 days before and got around a B/maybe A.
Rest of modules were A*s other then S1 and S2 which were 81 and 49.
Yeh through arranging modules I get A*A*B who knows may be 3A*s if the boundaries are kind in 1/2 exams i dnt even care anymore I hate a levels so much they require no thinking at all.I don't want to take another gap year I just really want to start Uni maths at like warwick or something.
Physics was edexcel.
My application will be flagged in Cambridge for strong step grades so hoping for the best.

Can someone give me advice?
I need 3 As for my course but as each day passes i end up thinking i will get 3 Cs
My uni is in clearing for its course and i was wondering if i ended up with ABB or BBB would i be accepted into my uni or not? (East Anglia)

Ahhhh okay I'd never go to a London uni so that doesn't worry me. I'm also a little more confident now than I was yesterday that things are going to be fine but I know today and tomorrow are going to drag...

I'd ask why UCL don't do it but I guess you don't know?

I doubt it too haha from WSFC
