The Current Year 12 Thread 2015 - 2016 Mark I

Ah, results day nightmares.

I kept waking up, then going back to sleep, then being like "oh getting ACE instead of AAA was just a dream!!!" only to be told that it wasn't by my v disappointed parents and that my life was ruined....

I'm not sleeping tonight! :P

Hey guys,
Surely our results do not matter for most subjects due to A-Level reforms? And for those that are yet to change, you can just retake a module next year if it was that horrendous? And most universities are not even looking at AS results because not everyone has done them. That only leaves predicted grades, and if you have been working at a high standard throughout the year then I'm sure teachers will predict the grades you need (they tend to predict higher anyway).

So should I be worried that i'm doomed if I get bad grades or am I just in denial lmao

It depends on your school policy about predictions. My school are suuuuuuuper strict as in they never ever predict higher than your AS and even if you achieved the grade eg. An A they may still predict a B if your UMS just scraped or they don't think you could. It's annoying as I need to be predicted an A* but my school say no unless you average 92 UMS across all papers like wtf

wow that's so annoying - I hope you get your A* prediction! It is a state/private school? idk I think my school just wants to keeps its ratings high so is quite chill with predictions. If not, I'll cry to my teachers to predict me higher lmao

Wow your smaaaart, heard that IB is waaaaay better than A-levels!! I do AS and A2:Media Studies, Biology, Chemistry, English Literature and Language, Sociology and Psychology. :P what you planning to study at uni (if you're going) and what unis are you looking at??

Hahahhahaha *blush* thanks

Still, you do loads of subjects too, and that's considering the fact that most people pick four A-Levels (I think??). That's pretty cool o_o And yeah, apparently IB is harder, but tbh it's just because there's so much else we have to do as part of our course too.

As for unis, I'm gonna apply to do history at St Andrews, U of T, McGill, and UBC. If my predicted grades get a tad bit better I might apply to Cambridge, but it'll be really expensive since I can't have a part-time job whilst I'm there What about you?

Most people do pick four!! can do more if you want.
I'm looking at doing Chemistry or Biochem either at UCL, Imperial, Bath or Surrey hopefully it will be one of the first two closer to home, so I don't have to live on campus

The fact that your looking at St Andrews and Cambridge shows how awesome and smart you are :surprise:.

Wow history! really? what is your favourite era??

So what do u guys think you may have got?

I think I've got BBB. What about you?

I mean chemistry is really difficult too, so don't discount your intelligence either :P And London! I've been there like once haha.

Hmm ... There was this Indian ruler, Ashoka, that I've always wanted to learn more about. He was incredibly peaceful, and I think he outlawed violence against animals or something which sounds amazing ahaha. I also really like the enlightenment, particularly because it sprung forth new ideas on what sort of liberties - for instance - a person might have in a state. Best of all, some of these ideas are still being used today. It also helps that the American and French Revolutions occurred around this time too, and I've been so obsessed with Hamilton lately that it's hard to not like this period at all What's your favourite part of chemistry?
