    I won't be able to sleep before checking Track, so I'll have to do that first! The results will be emailed anyway.
    Yeah, but I reckon the emails won't get sent out until 8am no earlier and track will probably update at 6/7am

    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.

    I'll probably check Track first. It's whether I've got into uni or not that I'm worried about, not my grades in particular!

    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.

    EDIT: Four haters read this I see...

    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

    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

    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.

    I don't think I'll have the balls to check track before I go check my results.

    If I check track and fail I'll feel like **** before I even collect my results BUT if I check track and pass I'll be bouncing all the way down to college

    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.

    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.

    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 :confused:
