    I was fairly confident, I need 260 points, and then for the past two months I've been quite badly ill so now I'm not so sure :sad:

    If I simply pass my final project then I'll have a higher grade than required. If I fail, I won't even have anything close to it my tutor said that no one fails unless they just don't do the work but I'm really paranoid that I have missed something big and don't even realise it.

    Sheffield are asking for AAB and a B in AS Chemistry.

    I already have 1 A level (Psychology A*) from last year. I need an A in Geography and a B in Biology which I'm pretty confident I can get. I'm pretty sure I've got an A in AS Chemistry so even if I only get BB in Geog and Biology I'm still pretty sure I'll get in.

    I need:
    Chemistry: 117/150 (high B) for an A overall
    Geography: 92/120 (high B) For an A overall
    Biology: 98/150 (mid C) for a B overall

    I'm not so sure I'm meeting my firm for Optom at Anglia Ruskin. I need ABB, with an A in a science, and judging from how my C3 paper went, I won't be getting it in maths. And the chances of me getting it in biology are slim, since I'm only allowed to drop 32 UMS marks this year if I'm aiming for an A there. They might let me in with BBB, but that's beside the point.

    I need ABB... I have always been a ridiculously paranoid person and can't help listening to the voice in the back of my head telling me that I will mess up on an exam... especially considering both my final 2hour30min A2 exams are on the same goddamn day -.-

    Don't you just LOVE perspective? :grin:

    Seeing as I currently hold no offers, you could say I'm very confident in achieving them!
