Results day..... in March when we got our Jan results back... I threw up twice, because of nerves, on the way to school; wasn't at my finest when I finally got there :tongue:

Yeah, I got 90%, with a view for it to probably be moderated down. Eternal pessimism; love it! But that's only worth 20% of this years marks, so it's another nice little buffer I guess. :smile:

I'm probably about 4 and a half, 5 hours drive away, it's a massive distance. And I also have relatives up there; just in Sunderland instead, so I'd been to the city before as well. :smile:

I'm hopefully gonna be at Grey College.

Im the same with my history coursework I got 76/80 after internal moderation but feel it will go down :L it sounds like you should get an A in physics overall even with the worst outcome of the last modual paper! we aren't told what we get in biology or chemistry prac we just find out on results day :| I always do bad in chem prac :'( my only B last year in a unit :L I could get a * if it wasnt for prac :frown:

hmm Im 4.5 hours train ride away, I live in south wales and tbh its like 6-6.5 hour drive, train takes so long due to loads of stops :L all my relatives are up north though darlington and then south scotland so Im closer to all my family bar my parnets and sister shes my twin and firmed Cardiff :')

I don't understand why it's worth more marks, surely 'proper' psychology is what the exam should test us on! I think they ran out of ideas for RM, January's PSYA4 was related to music too haha. Cool, I hated anomalistic with a passion which made revising for the exam even worse. Thank you, I hope you get your A* :smile:

. Do you have to get an A* in psychology or could it be another subject?

Yeah, they basically say it doesn't put you at an advantage so there's not much point in doing it. When I picked my AS subjects I actually wanted to do journalism so I didn't really consider A-level law. From what she's said, Cardiff is pretty good :smile:

. Bath's got a brilliant reputation for psychology so I hope you get in! Do you have an insurance choice?

I know, exactly! Research methods is such a pain. I think if each of the topics would have been worth the same as RM i would have done a lot better! That's what I thought- when I saw jan2012 I was so gutted because it would have been perfect- seeing it on music again was a shocker!
What even is anomalistic?! Thank you, I really hope I do too. It can be any subject but Psychology is the only one i can see it happening!
Oh I see, it is so easy to change your mind through A-levels. I wanted to be a music teacher literally my whole life growing up and as soon as I started Psychology I changed my mind! So weird where life takes us! I know, Bath is really high up in the tables- my insurance is Southampton where I live!

Someone found my blog by searching for "revision motivation" and were met by probably the least motivational revision post ever - http://madderlarr94.wordpress.com/2012/05/08/revision-day-warning-may-contain-sweary-gifs/

Oh. My. Goodness. I just read this blog post and it's so funny! Exactly what i do and feel like! Awesome GIFs :tongue:

Fionalala12 - It's the waiting that's bothering me mostly! But we can never really fully know the outcome of exams until results day :unimpressed:

Me too darling. But I'm sure all of us with get through it together. I am going to be so bored, which makes me think about it even more!

Same here, the weighting of the marks just seems weird to me. When I got to RM I was surprised to see something music-related again too, but I am thankful that only one question revolved around statistical tests! I hated doing that, for some reason I couldn't get my head around it. It's to do with the paranormal. I was quite excited to do it at first because that kind of stuff interests me, but it turned out to be really dull and focused mostly on whether parapsychology was a real science or not. Ah right, well you've already got that A* in PSYA3 and I'm guessing you did well at AS too, so you should get it! :smile:

Haha, yeah I went from wanting to go into forensics at GCSE (mostly based on the fact I started watching CSI...I don't think that's a good way to choose a future career :tongue:

) to journalism, but law was always in the back of my mind - I did work experience at a solicitor's in Year 10. It was only really this time last year when I decided to apply for law. It is weird, and it's even weirder knowing that a year ago I was beginning to think about university! I can't believe how quickly time is going by.

Nice, I applied to Southampton too :smile:

Haha yeah it's nice to have someone who gets it rather than saying oh 'you'll be fine', I really hope we both do better than we think!! And Leeds uni, you?

I don't have a contingency plan because I don't know what I'll do if I don't get into my firm :sad:
