I went from a BDDE to an A*AAA!!! Still in shock... I retook a year after getting an E in Further Maths but I did not expect to jump that much. Thought that A* was a misprint at first... I'm so mindblown!!

Wow, congrats what will you be doing at uni and at which uni?
Another thing I also did MEI maths and AQA biology, could you please help me?
Please tell me how you revised in detail for both of these subjects including the books you used and whether you did the questions in the books, did you watch any youtube vids to aid understanding, did you do all past papers (including old spec) and any exam tips. I would really appreciate the help because I'm retaking next year. Please be specific as possible.
In terms of maths, any tips on the C4 comprehension?
Also how did you do in all maths and Biology units?
Please reply, thanks a lot and congrats!

I don't see how you got an A* in further maths and not maths considering further maths builds on it lol. Congrats on your results! You improved by so much

Absolutely astonished at my A2 results, would never have expected to get the grades that I did!! Almost got 100% UMS in maths and was 3% off an A* in chemistry, but I can't ask for more. wondering whether or not to use adjustment but I don't think I will

Absolutely over the moon, especially with my French grade. I knew I was capable of A*'s in all my subjects but after the exams I was really depressed about my French written paper thinking i'd bombed it and let down my teachers whom I love. Turns out I just scraped by! Oh and to think i'd have got an A* in Further Maths considering the struggle through AS, i'm so happy things have paid off. Hopefully changing course to Maths and Philosophy but DURHAM HERE I COME!!

Congratulations everyone, we managed to get through 2 years of HELL

English Language: Predicted A / Achieved A
Media Studies: Predicted A / Achieved B
Photography: Predicted B / Achieved E
Edge Hill - Media, Film and Television - BCC
I'm really disappointed about my media grade to be honest. I got an A last year and got an A in my coursework this year as well, but only managed a C in the exam which isn't like me at all. I did find the exam a little challenging because of the unseen products, but whenever I've had a bit of difficulty in the past I've always managed to find enough to write about to end up with at least a B.
Very pleased with English, but still feeling quite bittersweet about it being my best grade seeing as I decided to do a media course rather than an English course at the very last minute because the English taster session at my uni really hadn't done anything for me. I need to stop overlooking the fact that it's still an A grade just because I'm not doing it at degree level - after all, English always has been just that little bit more challenging than Media was for me. Also, I've heard people saying they marked the Media exam more harshly this year than they have done previously. Does anyone know if this is true?
Photography...well...I don't know where to start. I'd been let onto the A Level course despite not having done it at GCSE. Absolutely love photography and being creative, but absolutely DESPISED the entire A Level course. My teacher hardly seemed to know what he was doing half the time, and this became especially evident when people in the class were asking him how best to achieve a high grade in the exam and he would give different but equally vague responses each time. It was quite farcical. I did so much work for it as well! Plenty of different shoots and in-depth write-ups. If it wasn't enough, then it wasn't made clear to me. Not that I'm going to pin my failure on the way the subject was 'taught' to me (I say 'taught' because I didn't learn a thing, haha!), but I think I could have gotten at least a C if my teacher hadn't been so unintentionally cryptic when discussing exactly what I needed to do to do well in the subject. In all fairness, I hadn't taken Photography because I was serious about becoming a professional photographer, but because I wanted the opportunity to write about the meaning behind photographs I was proud of. Am I okay with an E? Certainly not, but am I going to let it take away from my other grades? I'd be mad if I did. I put a lot of effort in, but I hated the whole thing, so surely it doesn't matter too much.
Overall, I'm still trying to feel proud of myself for doing so well in English and also trying to accept that while I didn't get the Media grade I was hoping for, a B is still a good grade and that the As I received for my creative work are great! I always preferred the more hands-on side of things anyway and look forward to more at university.

Congrats! Would you mind telling how me how you revised for maths specifically, e.g. what book did you use? What videos? Did you do all past papers and any tips please, I would appreciate it a lot.
So there aren't any real accompanying text books for the course, so my teacher would print out relevant areas from A-level maths books and statistics text books. There is a website called Integral Maths that we used to get the official spec. and the few specimen papers that there are. I found the website Mathsisfun to be quite helpful. Basically when I did it, there were quite a limited amount of resources; there wasn't even a specification until about my second year. Good luck if you are planning to take it.
