    Should i look for another uni now that I have exceeded my offer?
    I had an offer from Bham Uni for International Relations with Political Science with 35 points overall in the IB, with a 5 in English and a 4 in Math...Yesterday i got my results and i scored a 37 with a 6 in English and a 5 in Math..So since i scored 2 points more than the offer, should I look for a potentially better uni or just to keep Birmingham?

    you can go through adjustment without losing your place at birmingham but tbh birmingham is a good uni so I'd stick to that one. I exceeded my offer of 38 points by 6 points and I'm still keeping it. If you want to go to Birmingham stick with it.

    Perhaps, although if Birmingham's standard offer should increase from 35 to 38 I can't promise not to enjoy a hearty guffaw at your expense.

    It wouldn't hurt you to look around but don't find a different university and set your heart on it because they may not be registering that course in Adjustment. Maybe you could try and find previous Adjustment lists, see if there's any that have repeatedly appeared on the list and look at those? An official list doesn't come out until August though so you won't know until then if they're taking any. You COULD call/email the universities and ask if they intend to, though.
