    The "I'VE FINISHED A-LEVELS!!!" thread
    Hi everyone! I'm SO happy to have finally finished A-levels after what seems the most exhausting 2 years to date. Cannot wait for a well-deserved summer!

    Just a thread for people to say how they're feeling/how the A-level journey has been for them/their feelings pending results day and uni/what they have planned to celebrate or just have fun this summer!

    WE MADE IT!

    Hopefully going to uni in Sept to study Optometry really not sure if I've met the grades though, but I'll let the nerves hit me when I do an all-nighter watching movies and eating before results day, rather than now! My plan of action for the next few days consists of Eat, Sleep, Repeat until we go to Magaluf next week *bricks it*

    FREEEEEEEEEEEEEDOMMMMMMM!!!!!

    Tbh A-levels have been my favourite two years of school as I enjoyed all my lessons and I've made a lot more friends because of having free periods with people I never used to speak to. Plus I've enjoyed the 6th form parties!

    Not really thought about results day yet, but hopefully I've done well. Not gonna panic about it though, exams are over now and I tried my hardest so what will be will be

    Unfortunately no uni this year; got two interviews for veterinary medicine, but I didn't get in, so it's a year out for me. So it's gonna be a summer of RSPCA and zoo work then I'm gonna get a job for a year But firstly I'm very excited for the school prom!!! We're pulling an all nighter round town and going for a McDonald's breakfast afterwards 'cause we're just that classy haha

    I wish I was going to Magaluf; have a great time!

    I was incredibly happy when my last exam was finished, particularly because I'd thought my exams hadn't gone nearly half as badly as last year!

    August 16th's actually my 18th birthday, though..

    I'm FREE!!

    It's taken me 3 years to do them as I became very ill a few weeks into AS and missed 2 years of school However having done some exams whilst ill and then completed my AS exams this year along with my A2's I'm done!!

    Terrified of what my results from the exams just gone... especially in Maths and Chemistry... AQA Chem 5... WTF was that!!

    Whilst C4 maths is just hard

    I'm going to be a nervous wreck come the 16th of August; I've got a place at Nottingham to do Vet Medicine and after the Chem 5 exam... my confidence in getting my offer is at an all time low

    Yeah, I hated C4, too! Mechanics wasn't so bad, but C4 was just..blergh.

    Aw, good luck!

    I have nightmares about results day.
    Can't find a job. So I'm stuck at home with no source of income. Have no aims that I need to achieve. I miss doing A-Levels. And I need a job. I've stayed at home for one day (finished my last exam on friday) and it's driving me insane.

    So glad its over. Unfortunately already having visions of opening my results and being 1 UMS short of getting an A in all of my subjects/ only getting an A in gen. studies.

    Other than that, I have so much i want to do.

    I enjoyed learning my favourite subjects in depth... So many unanswered questions from GCSE and below were resolved e.g. how pH is calculated - it all made sense ^_^ the last two years would have been a lot better without the need for exams!
    Not sure of what to expect on results day but I hope it's good enough to get into my firm or they'll be receiving many phonecalls
