    Yeah I've definitely failed mine, but I'm going to college in September to do health and social care.
    A-Levels just weren't for me I guess.
    And don't worry about your teachers, they've seen this stuff every year for years, in most situations so long as you show them you're willing to work hard they'll let you back

    thanks for replying, but im so confused and dissapointed i feel down...
    I just hope i will be able to get into a universtiy to do something that i enjoy...
    You will do, a lot of people think A levels are easy like GCSEs, so they don't try as hard. That's where things go wrong. Good luck anyway! You will get into a uni to do what you want!

    So i was really depressed about not revising hard.... and i know i completely failed alll my exams, and so i wont be shocked if i get 4u's for as level...
    I know its all my fault but for example in maths i could do the questions in the book, but when it came to the exam coz i didnt do past papers i know i completely failed, but i want to continue maths definetly next year, so im plannin to do extra work in maths for summer... HOWEVER i feel so embarassed and when the results come out in august im going to be so embarassed, my teachers wont probably even let me continue next year, my mum is going to kill me!!!
    U see im really depressed, and i was just wondering who else is on the same boat as me???
    (plus i sooo dont want to resit the whole yr again....)

    p.s.please dont be negative im already pissed with myself, the last thing i want is a person judging me, without knowing me...
    M8 do not worry !! This also happened to me last year. But I worked my socks off during A2 and resat all my exams in this January and manage to get ABB. I did maths, physics and chemistry. It's never too late. Now I just hope i also did well in my A2 exams

    Yes. In fact I had five offers doing physics. My firm choice is the university of Manchester, insurance is the university of Leeds.

    I'm scared about my English Language result, I really want to continue it on next year and study it in university. At least I have an A and a B in the coursework to try and boost the grade up. Just have to try and forget about it now until August.

    If you want sensible advice and I know you're probably not gonna want to hear this but the only way you can end up getting A/B grades in the end is if you resit this year. Don't be so embarassed about it, plenty of people **** up the AS exams but life is a learning curb and EVERYONE makes mistakes somewhere along the line but the smart ones learn from them and use it make them stronger. Seriously, if you try and retake all your AS exams in Year 13 you are gonna have so so much to learn you will more than likely fail, just use it to motivate you next year

    I think I failed Politics, which is a bit of a ball ache considering I only do 3 subjects, and my head of sixth form specifically said if I failed there was no way back in for me *gulp*
