Re: Results Day: Check Track before collecting results?Yeah, but I reckon the emails won't get sent out until 8am no earlier and track will probably update at 6/7am(Original post by HotfireLegend)
I won't be able to sleep before checking Track, so I'll have to do that first! The results will be emailed anyway. -

Re: Results Day: Check Track before collecting results?
This time last year I was in your position. I woke up, grabbed my laptop and sat in bed to check track. Didn't make my firm.
I would say check track before going to college/school - if you're an emotional person there is nothing worse than realising you've failed when you have straight A students around you.

Re: Results Day: Check Track before collecting results?
nooo don't do it! If you got into your insurance but not your firm youre in that grey area where you don't know how badly you flopped until you get your results. For example I had an AAA offer to Imperial and a BBB offer to UCL. If I had checked track and found that I didnt get into Imperial I would have spent all day agoniazing over whether I got AAB, ABB or BBB or even BBC but my insurance allowed me because that can happen some times too.

Re: Results Day: Check Track before collecting results?
I'm checking track. I'm an impatient and emotional person, so that seems like the best option for me

That way I can find out if I'm in or not as soon as possible, while also avoiding crying in front of people if I don't get in. I've cried twice now in front of everyone, I don't need to go through that crap again

Re: Results Day: Check Track before collecting results?What he said.(Original post by vedderfan94)
I'll probably check Track. I'm feeling confident so I won't be getting up at 6am or doing an all-nighter but I probably won't be getting results until 9 or 10. I don't really care about the actual results as long as I meet my firm offer. -
Re: Results Day: Check Track before collecting results?What uni are you hoping to get into?(Original post by xfearless)
I'm going to be checking track, I don't think I've got into my firm and I'd rather find that out in private. I also just want to know as soon as possible (I'm sick of all this waiting around) and it's more about getting into uni than grades for me anyway

Re: Results Day: Check Track before collecting results?
I feel for you all! This was me last year, so am rooting for you all!
Your letter from UCAS might come through early in the morning before you get your results, so you might find out that way - that's how I did.
Oh, and I personally wouldn't rely on Track as it crashed last year and it was ages until anyone could log in. -
Re: Results Day: Check Track before collecting results?
My college allows us to access results from home. So I will be simultaneously refreshing until one system allows me on to check my decision/results. The computer systems crashed in January, so I am not holding out much hope for getting my results before track goes live.

Re: Results Day: Check Track before collecting results?
I think I'll be checking Track first because I've already decided that if I don't get the grades I need for my firm I'd rather retake the year than go into clearing! I'll still be completely gutted if I find out at 7am that I'm staying at home for another year and then I have to see all my friends getting their results later in the day, it'll draw the sadness out for hours and hours hahaha
