    Official A-Level Results Day Discussion 2012! (16/08/2012)
    This is a thread for anyone in Y12/Y13 who is studying their AS or A Levels this year to discuss exams (keeping to the discussion board rules, of course) and then the dreaded wait for results day.

    I'll try and keep a list here of who's studying what and who's applying for what if possible, so if you want you can post and say your A Levels and the course you're applying for to make discussion a bit easier. Let's see how many threads we can get before mid-August

    Last Year's Thread (from results day onwards) - http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/show...e=242&page=242

    3. Procrastinate and share answers about exams
    4. Worry about grades

    :/
    Mine goes a bit like -

    1. Panic.
    2. Sit exams.
    3. Panic a bit more.
    4. Finish exams.
    5. Panic.
    6. Avoid talking about the actual exams as much as possible and focus on the results.
    7. Panic and try to stop thinking about results.
    8. Get results.
    9. Panic, either "OMG WHAT DO I DO" or "OMG I'M GOING TO UNIVERSITY WHAT DO I DO".

    I can't win :unimpressed:

    EDIT - Congrats, pointless neg repper, your neg has made approximately 0 difference to my rep points total (not that I'm counting :ninja: )

    My aim is to forget the date of results day, that way I can enjoy a peaceful week without constantly worrying. Get up one day, check email....ohhhh ucas.....

    Oh hi. Good to see this up and running again The results thread last year was great fun, those of us who posted on a regular basis got to know each other reasonably well and a lot of us have remained in contact.

    You've got no chance of beating our 7, nearly 8 threads though!

    So, there's a thread for the Year 12s but not one yet for the 2nd Year/Year 13s who will be getting our A Level results and, for many of us, finding out if we get into the university of our choice this August. I think the same thread last year was set up around the same time, at the start of the exam period, but if not it gives us chance to talk about the exams (keeping to the exam discussion rules, obviously) as well as the impending results!

    I'll try and keep a list here of who's studying what and who's applying for what if possible, so if you want you can post and say your A Levels and the course you're applying for to make discussion a bit easier. Let's see how many threads we can get before mid-August

    Name: madders94/Maddy
    A Levels: Psychology, Drama & Theatre Studies, English Language & Literature
    UCAS: Firm, Bangor University, Creative Studies, 260 points.
    FFS I wanted first post, I swear we're a bit early

    ...last year Yr 12s and 13s were both in the same thread, so us year 13s need to work extra hard to beat last year. I don't see the Yr 12 thread though

    Name: Contrad!ction. / Steph
    A Levels: Maths, Physics, Further Maths
    UCAS: Firm - University of Bath - MMath Mathematics - A*AA
    Insurance - University of Exeter - MMath Mathematics - AAB

    I hate the bit where I feel like I'm in limbo because we're still being taught content for some modules yet others I'm already a good way through the past papers with.



    (Original post by im so fresh)
    I thought it would be a good idea to bump this thread so many of us could use it as inspiration for revision.
    I for one will be working harder after looking at some of the people's positions in this thread.
    It's All or Nothing now.
    I thought I'd quote you in (you're Yr 13, right?) so you can join in this year

    Last year's thread was unreal, you write a post and by the time it's posted it's about 3 pages after where you were.

    Actually, my exams begins a few days time and my teachers don't even understand half the syllabus. Bunch of clowns that they are.

    When's your first paper ?

    Agh, it's really annoying when you can tell the teacher doesn't know what he's/she's doing. We've been doing past papers for C4 for around a month, yet we've still got 2 topics for FP2 to learn and the same number for FP3. FP3's exam's the 1st of June, FP2's the 14th of June, C4's the 21st of June. I swear that's the wrong order

    First one's the 16th of May, last one's the 22nd of June - yours?
