    What grades/points are you guys aiming for?
    On a revision break, so thought i would ask just out of curiosity!
    What grades/points are you guys aiming for from your A2 exams, for what course and where? Also how much revision are you averaging a day?

    For me :
    280 points
    Marketing at Oxford Brookes
    4/5 hours a day!

    Can't imagine the stress some people are under who are looking to go to Russel Group universities, eg AAA etc!

    I need A*AA or AAAA for Civil Engineering at Bath. Based on how my exams have gone so far, I'm hoping for A*A*AA, which is realistic assuming C4 and Chemistry Unit 5 don't go tits up (touch wood).

    Need AAB for English Literature at Cardiff (although hoping for A*ABC).

    But it's not going so well - just found a whole section of Sociology (my predicted A subject) notes I haven't even looked at yet and the exam is tomorrow

    Stressed about English (A/A*) on Wednesday!

    I need AAA to get into my first choice university but I don't think I'm going to get that . On a more positive note, I finish all my exams tomorrow!

    I was doing ~5 hrs revision daily but have recently fallen into a rut and lost all motivation, so I'm down to ~1 hr :/

    Offer is AAB for Physics at Exeter but hoping for AAA to get the scholarship already handed my art in and I'm reeeally hoping I managed to scrape an A (I was right on the border) if not an A* in my English on Wednesday would make up for it, but I can't see that happening tbh ): revisions's probably been about 3-4 hours a day if I don't count all the time spent procrastinating aha
