    Re: What grades/points are you guys aiming for?
    My not applying for university until next year, I just need the best grades possible.

    Aim:
    Physics: A*
    Chemistry: B/A
    Biology: B

    I think I did well in physics, maybe an A, but I missed a chemistry exam and will have to take it in January and I'm not sure about biology.

    I desperately want an A* in biology and in english lit, but I don't think I've have.

    And I've worked stupidly hard to get an A in chemistry, but I know for a fact I'll have got a B!!! :k And this is for vet med.

    I 'only' need 34 IB points, but my upper limit is 36/37. I really think I could've got 39-40 if I worked flat out and with the luck needed to fluke a few 7s, but that's certainly not happening now!

    420 from a BTEC taking the total to 480. 60 from AS maths earlier this year.

    I’ve sat on my bum all year and didn’t revise for maths at all. So not all too bad.

    In terms of offers, im not taking any up. Ill be doing HNC then HND before i apply for uni again. Oxford and Imperial are the targets.

    No, but its easier to say an offer than explaining the points system every time, and I need to get those grades to get in...
