I didn't miss out by 1 UMS, but I missed out on an A* in Chemistry by 2 UMS! BLOODY INVESTIGATION!
1 mark from an A in german, can't decide whether it's worth getting a remark considering i have a uni place, still v annoyed since i worked my arse off :frown:
Law 3 - 89/100
Law 4 - 87/100

Considering 90 is an A*, I might get a remark. Just for the hell of it.

I was 1 UMS away from an A in AS physics! & I worked my ass of for that subject as well
I got 2 A's in two of the exam modules, but then I flopped the ISA, got in D in that.


If it's AS just retake the ISA next year, or even better, do an EMPA instead. The grade boundaries for EMPA's are much nicer.

I UMS mark off A For Chemistry, As level, so annoyed!
I got an A in everything else, I might get it remarked, seeing as I might drop it, so I can't make up the points for A-level
