    A*AA, slightly better than I expected. Scraped an A i thought would be a B due to lenient boundaries. My twin sister didn't do as well though, so it was kinda awkward today.

    Not so well needed ABB got BCC so missed out on 1st choice & insurance.
    Good news change of course offer (same faculty just less specialised course) at 1st choice uni. Think this is a safer bet than clearing as still may not get choice of course. Bit disappointed but so much luckier than many.

    Re: How did you do?
    I did alright I suppose - I don't feel elated or anything really though. At the time it was lovely, - I hadn't done badly, like I thought I would've.

    Nor did I do particularly amazingly though.

    I got A*A*Aa.

    Edit: what did I say that was so offensive? :rolleyes:

    Edit2: Guys, you have to realise that amongst the people I'm competing with A*A*Aa is painfully average...

    Was expecting AABB or AABC in my AS-levels - got AAAB with about 95% in each of the subjects where I got an A

    Got AAAB, had hoped for AAAA. I'm pleased though, but my low UMS slightly dampens my sprits.
    Exactly the same with me (bit weird, remember me from GCSE English forever ago?! ). Still really pleased with AAAB, but my parents want me to retake to get an A. Won't be that hard, only had two modules and one was an A anyway, but still a bit bothersome. :rolleyes:

    Which subjects did you do?

    I was expecting AACD I got ABBD but for Business I got As in both my coursework but C in the ridiculously easy exam! What a joke definitely resitting. A lot of my friends seemed dissapointed but these polls say otherwise. Good luck with A2s everyone

    Expected (hoped for) AAA but thought Maths would possibly make it AAB; ended up with A*AA with A* in Maths over the moon!!
