Ah disgusting AS results

Well I think its rather commendable that the "you people" can perform badly in the first year for whatever reason, its not always a choice, then turn it around within the second year, and achieve good grades. By doing this the "you people" have in effect put in half the amount of effort of the people "trying really hard" and have come out with the same if not better grades. Id say that's worthy of a good university place, as it proves ability and tenacity, Id say a "you people" person is more worthy of a place in terms of academic intelligence than someone who has studied rather scrupulously, slaving over textbooks for two years.

I got BBCD at AS, and I was disappointed. Thankfully my teachers believed in me enough to predict me AAA and I got a place to read English at Exeter (ended up with A*ABc and missed my place, but oh well). The important thing is, you can do it.

See, this. This is a great example!

Congratulations on getting the A*! And also pulling up your D grade! You still attained the same amount of UCAS points than you were predicted for.

By 'you people' - a phrase you clearly took offence to - I meant people exactly like you, who can't be assed, dont bother putting effort in, and then expect to be able to go to a good university (and whine about all this on an internet forum) What makes it even more pathetic if that you're trying to hide your grades from the uni's you want to go to.
If you dont try in your first year and get bad results, it proves that you're lazy, not dedicated or enthusiastic about your studies, academically inconsistant and you're probably more likely to drop out of uni, wasting taxpayers money.

Be realistic - whats the chance of you meeting an offer from a good university anyway? You're a loser, stop wasting everyone's time and get a job at Netto.

I hope you don't mind me asking, but were your GCSEs any good? You see, I had BBC at AS and I've been predicted three As (four if you count an AS I'm taking too) but I have fairly mediocre GCSEs. It's something that worries me greatly.

Why would concealing poor As grades be pathetic? that is what is referred to as 'tact'. Do not be so naive as to think that to achieve a good position in life, everything must be right, right first time and fair. That school of thought IS pathetic and your expectation of people to be righteous and allow those who could be believed to deserve something more to surpass them only proves your belief in this warped way of looking at success within life.

Why do you assume that people who have underachieved did so purposely and deserved to? Would you say that a person who was abused at school by a teacher and refused to attend their lessons and subsequently failed that subject was "Lazy". This thankfully, is rare but you should be careful about the generalising you seem so prone to commit.

If you don't try in your first year, your more likely to drop out of university? If you do not revise for As exams you will leave university without a degree?

this is surely disproved within A2 when a person can do the opposite.

Where you derived 'wasting taxpayers money' from is a mystery, I don't know about you but my parents will be paying me through University by paying my University fees, not taxpayers.

As for your final point or in retrospect attempt at making any kind of point, I must say your use of the insult "Loser" did bring me some laughter as it is a word I haven't heard since primary school as its social acceptance died in England back in the nineties and survives primarily in America. I could offer you some contemporary insults which might possibly upset a person rather then amuse them, some which are fairly fitting when describing someone such as yourself but I think that is one of many things you need to learn for yourself, so I will be cruel to be kind and refrain.

Well as I have not sat my exams yet, the chance is 50/50 [Yes I will or No I wont]. However to answer your question in greater detail as a person with potential and personal belief I would say the greater chance is Yes I will.

Please try not to be so bitter, some people have to be much more studious and completely consistent in their efforts in order to achieve success and others in short don't, that's just the way life goes im afraid.

Im not wasting any persons time they choose to write and post a reply, if they see that as a waste of time then it is only they themselves who have wasted it. What you expect to gain from posting a reply making it worth while, I do not know nor do I want to. I see and hear enough on the news to disturb me.

In terms of employment, I am already hired by Topshop on a part time contract.

Yeah I'm thinking about that too! its just what everyone is saying about gap years! Our head teacher said "The golden age of gap years is over" because there is less university places, people with A's arent getting in and prices are about to rocket, plus you have to prove to be doing something extremely productive like building wells in Africa in the gap year not making extra money for student life.

Yes I understood that your meaning was fairly basic. I was not offended by "You people" if you perceived my repeated quotation of it within my message in that way please know that I was actually mocking your attempt at wording a category.

If you don't try in your first year, your more likely to drop out of university? If you do not revise for As exams you will leave university without a degree? where did you get this from, are there STATS which support this? Your assumption that "If you dont try in your first year and get bad results, it proves that you're lazy, not dedicated or enthusiastic about your studies" is also weak as this is surely disproved within A2 when a person can do the opposite.

I'm trying to got from aabc to aaaa.
Good luck , you retaking as well then?

I feel I am doomed to end up at a rubbish uni, as my as results will scare off esteemed ones. I had an awful year and didn't revise or pay any attention to any subject and surprise surprise completely messed up my AS exams. I would feel alot less doomed however if I didn't have to display these results on my UCAS. Is it true that all results must be put down and aswell as this a resit result pending? or can you just put pending? Please help!
