    I'm afraid I won't get the grades required...
    PLEASE KEEP ANONYMOUS ... or not.
    I'm currently doing an access course and received replies from University of Leeds, and Sheffield university.
    Both conditional.
    University of Leeds:
    Code:
    Pass in Access Course
    
    with 60 credits including 45 Level 3 credits at Distinction grade
    +
    University of Sheffield:
    Code:
    This offer is subject to you obtaining
    
    the
    Access to HE Diploma
    
    with 60 credits overall
    
    including 45 at level 3
    
    of which at least 30 must be graded Distinction
    However, at the moment we have done all our exams and assignments (Still waiting for result from a unit of 12 credits + still have a resit to do which is equivalent to 3 credits)
    I only have 10 distinctions so far and I cannot resubmit or resit unless I failed or just managed to scrape a pass.
    What can I do? My time is running out.

    I'm doing an access course too. Is there nothing you can do as a supplementary to top ur grades up? Like a supporting assignment?

    I hit jackpot in my course as we hav no exams, its all assignment based so its easier to get higher marks. Good luck

    You will probably do better than you think - every time results are not far away I consistently have a short panic attack and think I've failed miserably, but it's not yet been the case.

    Just keep calm until you actually find out. If you're really worried, you might want to think about a contingency plan - but don't get incredibly stressed about it while it's out of your control.
