Re: What would you consider disappointing A-level grades?
Well. I was disappointed with BBCC at AS, because I was expecting AABB. I've now resat so I have B(very close to an A)BBC at AS and am hopefully on track for ABB. I'll be happy if I get that because it means I'm into the course I want but worse than that and I'll be disappointed.

Re: What would you consider disappointing A-level grades?
im on target to acheive A*AC so anything less it will be a disappoinment.
(my grades are weird lol) but i can see where people are coming from if i was targeted CCC and i got BBB i would be well happy. if i was targeted AAA and got ABB i would be disappointed. -
Re: What would you consider disappointing A-level grades?exactly me! I was a little disappointed I did not score my second A*(Original post by Ilyas)
A*A*A= estatic
A*AA = happy
AAB = content (insurance offer)
ABB= dissapointing
anything below abb = suicide
Any Bs for me.. awful! -
Re: What would you consider disappointing A-level grades?I'm not sure you'd get in even with those grades(Original post by Temmychan)
Personally if I achieve anything lower than AAAAA in my AS and A*A*A*A in my A2 I will be disappointed, mostly because it will make successful application to Oxford a pipe dream
I hope i get in I'm going for 6 A*s at A level!! -
Re: What would you consider disappointing A-level grades?
Well in real terms I would have been dissapointed with grades that meant I didn't get into my first choice uni. I did get in and I was happy with them.
The problem is instead of many people saying 'these grades aren't the ones I wanted for my aims' they say 'these grades are **** and worthless'.
Obviously the latter puts everyone's grades down while the former is only mentioning ones own grades in relation to onself. -
Re: What would you consider disappointing A-level grades?Just 90%+ in all your A2 modules and an average of 80% over your whole alevel.(Original post by 3.14Pie)
do you need to get 90%+ on your AS modules to get an A* for The whole A-level or just 90%+ in A2 modules and 80%+ in AS modules? -
Re: What would you consider disappointing A-level grades?
My tutor and parents have decided I am definately getting AAA. My grades last year were AAC. I would be honestly happy with AAB, overjoyed by A*AB. I would slightly disappointed with ABB but I can see that happening with the terrible teaching I had for coursework. I would be quite down if I got BBC even though that is all I need to get into my course.
