YEE-HAH!! Good work- be cheery and celebrate tonight!

I had a nice surprise too- was expecting history to be low B or a C and got full marks in the last two mods bringing me up to an A! My teachers were more shocked than me! :smile:

Well done!! Have a great time whatever your next step is. :smile: xxx

I got 98/100 for a psychology resit, i spent about a day revising it and i honestly thought i got a U in the exam i felt THAT bad. I was speechless when i saw the mark.

I also got a 89/100 and 86/100 for some other resits which is remarkable as i spent a week revising for the two :biggrin:

And i got an A in psychology PYA4 after revising two of the question which came up a night before.

My other A2 modules were all C's, but then i am on for a third year so i will and was planning on resitting them :biggrin:

Damn i honestly think i must be on drugs as i did not expect half of what i got =)


I remember talking to you on the psychology thread
Well done! :biggrin:

I did bad in psychology, but shh! Haha

I got full UMS on my Edexcel Religious Studies - wasn't expecting that at all
Last year for AS Level I got CDDE (Sociology, Design Tech, Computing and Business Studies) so I did the retakes, gave myself a kick up the ass, dropped Business Studies and I got ABB (Full marks in one or two modules :biggrin: )
Previously I had applied to Portsmouth for Law and Criminology (but, on account of my awful predictions they put me into Law with Business) but, because of Adjustment, I made a few phone calls, did a bit of begging and I got into Bristol Uni for Sociology :smile:
Oh, I thought you meant nice surprises on results sheets like the amazing heat-sensitive spot. Endless hours of amusement right there. Gotta love that spot.
I don't actually know my raw marks- just UMS so I can't really say what lovely suprises I've had. I suppose 140/140 for my biology module is a lovely suprise though!

Getting a distinction in AEA Maths a year early when I was convinced I had failed it was a nice surprise :biggrin:

erm... well i'm happy i've got AAAB which are the minimum grades required for medicine :biggrin:
I had full marks in 2 of my history modules, and an A in the other (complete and utter but wonderful surprise!). And I had full marks in a psycholog module, despite an epic mind blank :smile: Didn't fail anything, which was a miracle XD

Thanks :biggrin: i was shaking and stuttering when i saw the result lol :eek3: If that thread didn't exist i would have failed that horribly (i basically wrote a model essay for ultruism in the thread, and i also only revised parent relationships the night before because someone in the thread suggested it!)


Did you meet your offer? If the psychology went badly then you can always retake, i am going back for a third year and i am fine with it, it means i can get better grades, take up some AS's i enjoy and have a more relaxed and prolonged approach to uni which gives me a better grounding than the vast majority of other candidates.

I know how you feel. I thought i ****** up so bad in one of my modules i was expecting 40/100, i got 98/100 :O
Im guessing either i am extremely pessimistic or the exam board ****** up (hopefully the former)

It was OCR. The good news is sort of balanced out though, by the fact I got 77 for M1 when I was certain I had an A!
