AS/A Level Results Day March 8th Megathread

Well basically I am confident that I have failed. Lol. Seriously though I found the past papers much easier that the Jan 2012 exams. I didn't even have time to finish my maths paper . Basically my plans of becoming a doctor just went out the window. Adios medical school at Kings collage.
I hope the best for the rest of you, Good luck.

OCR B? Quality of Measurement or the Presentation? I did my QoM on lens powers and my presentation was on the use of steel in rifle barrels (full marks ). Most helpful thing for physics is past papers. Even the old spec questions. They used to have a Section C with longer answers which I found helped me to understand some of the concepts. Mark schemes are your friend

I tend to work out what marks I've definitely dropped, and the worst-case scenario, and then panic if the worst-case is lower than the boundaries. Not good at all

I didn't retake anything in June, so I'm not really sure. Sorry


Ah no, it was fine, I did C2 last June. Didn't really screw me over, but I was aiming for full marks and dropped a couple because of the mistake.

I'm thinking the same about some of my other exams Good luck

does anyone know when grade boundaries are usually available?

Ah okay, I'm doing my QOM on a sensor potential divider circuit using a rotary potentiometer, it is going very well so I am hoping for near full marks on that one. Did you get full marks in them both? Nice one Unfortunately our teacher didn't give us the mark scheme for the presentation so I scored 8/10 so hope to chew my way a bit more into the A with the QOM.No problem - best of luck with your January results!

day before results day

does anyone know if the grade boundaries for AQA psychology A PSYA2 Unit 2 and Psya3 going to be lower than summer exams? my tecaher told me for PSYA3 it defo is i hope so

Yeah my teacher marks PSYA3 papers and said they will be lower.
Why did your teacher say it'll be lower though? haha

Well basically I am confident that I have failed. Lol. Seriously though I found the past papers much easier that the Jan 2012 exams. I didn't even have time to finish my maths paper . Basically my plans of becoming a doctor just went out the window. Adios medical school at Kings collage.

Yeah me too, As I came out of the exam, I thought.... yeah im sure I've achieved two A's and a B

Now as time has gone by, i'm also getting nervous as I may have been a little bit over-confident ... prepare yourself for the worst so If you do get the grades you wanted you'll be over the moon

This happen to me last year, so I mind ****ed myself so I made myself think I've done terribly so whatever grade I get it will be better than expected.

You should not count your self out so soon, only 2 medical school care if you resit modules that being Cambridge and UCL. However UCL don't mind AS resits but as far as i remember they said keep it to the minimum but no A2 resits and some other medical schools say no A2 resits as well. For the majority though, they don't really care even oxford don't really care, as long as you achieve AAA within 2 years. So no resitting after year 13. If you like Kings, then the best advice i could give is that they like good GCSEs/UKCAT score. There is plenty people (im not lying) who have applied with BBB at AS but had great GCSEs/UKCAT scores and got an offer, as long as they achieved AAA in the end.

Good luck

She said literally most of the marks were lost due to lack of info for A02 in the group display qs. Also some students (NOTME ;P) wrote restorative explaanaton instead of ecological explaaintion for the evolutionary qs on sleep lol so thats like good 30 marks lost out on i hope thre low cos i no i neevr messed up my qs only the 4 marker on reserach on institutional agression i wrote a rsereach on hazing??? would i at least get 1 mark out of 4 lol! other than that i neevr scrwed the paper up !

what did yours say lol! i clcoked on my teacher knew the qs one's a senior examiner and senior examiners for fact no the qs cos last eyar i ahd a senior techer for as and hetold us make sure you revsie indeendent behviour for psya2 and yep it came up so i knew what she said were going to come so i revised them in like literally my lesson before the exam! plus i tookm agamble on relationships but was chuffed when breakdown came up i just hope i gto enough content in . btw i wrote like more rearsch than needed lol for the essasy is thata bad thing???

I sure hope so about Oxford, I feel a Chem resit coming

not long now!! dont really care about my english grade... i know i messed that one up and the teachers even said "look dw bout it just have a resit" (they have so much faith lol)

but its the psychology... spent a long time revising for psychology...

hope the paper says an A. fine if its a high B, but it means i have to work even harder for the june (dont mind, but id rather be able to relax abit)

Did you do CHEM4 with edexcel?
I hope the grade boundaries arent that high as i made loads of mistakes haha

Research does not neccessarily mean studies. It means studies and/or theories. I wrote about both. However this was why the gender question was messed up as for part a it said outline research into social influence for 8 marks and then the second part was assess the influence for 16marks. However as many candidates used research evidence as their ao2 and included studies for the 8 marks, their ao2 was weak. I included theories which was just as correct.

Yeah the group displays one was very poor, as my teacher said people wrote about infidelity and jealousy and stuff like deindividuation. And even those that included topics like sport, lynch mobs, etc, didnt explicitly link it back to evolution (so women, resources, genes etc).

Does your teacher mark the papers? And what do you mean research on hazing - studies or the theory of hazing?

Was hoping for 100ums but think i'll get around a B now lol .
