Very Bad AS results = no uni?
Just had a thought.
I got DEE in chemistry biology maths in AS but I believe with hard work this time I believe I will get BBB at least after 6 resits and A2 exams (made time table and so much organisation on Google drive).
The thing is that Uni will base your consideration on your AS results and when they look at mine they won't consider me (assuming you need BBB for my course) because of my poor AS results? Assume I will get BBB at A level
Because my AS results are so poor I wont be able to receive an offer so i cant go through adjustment?
so say I got BBB at A level from EEE at AS i wont get into uni because EEE at AS is too bad to get an offer...?

Won't they also look at your predicted grades for A Level too?

Yes but with DEE, its extremely unlikely for the university as AS is much easier than A2. Also predictions are usually taken with a bit of pinch of salt, as they know teachers can be fairly lenient on them. Eyebrows would definetly be raised for a DEE student to get predicted 2/3 bands higher to a BBB.
Chances are you will go through clearing, unless you wish to apply to those 'lower' universities and go through adjustment. I would quickly check the ucas website on your course, looking around at the current clearing to get some sort of an idea on the quantities/qualities (does NOT mean to say these universities will be in clearing next year).

I got rubbish grades for AS and planning to retake ontop of A2, could you show me your timetable?
I got BCDE at AS and ended up with ABBe at A2 and got into uni.
You can do it; just revise harder. Shiz gets real after your first year of college.
Good luck!

Don't choose a uni with too high entry grades and ask your tutors for a predicted grade for next year (which is better than DEE) and make yourself STAND OUT on your personal statement

Think I'll go through clearing as no one will maker me an offer so probably won't apply when most people do. Is it wrong to think that the rubbish universities will be in clearing? Hoping to do biomedical or somewhere in that field

I pushed myself to revise more. Only did two retakes and my A2 exam results were mostly full marks which pushed my grades up
Posted from TSR Mobile
Are all retakes in the summer now? It's possible but was easier when there were winter retakes as this means you're going to have loads of exams in the summer at once. Any reason for poor exam results? But I would say yes as long as you work hard although your timetable does look very hard work so you need to be really motivated and focused! Good luck!

I didn't really revise for AS, for A2 I did and got an A in every retake but biology, in which I got a high B, but I did 3 retakes and 2 coursework/EMPA resits

I didn't revise for AS either, it was pretty chilled year for me as I had a lot of time off :L I got an E in AS Politics but only because I've only been to 5 lectures per term and my lecturer enjoys going off topic. I found A2 a little bit easier, revised more and when I mean more; not as much as most would do. I literally just write things down and read them and sat the exam and got better grades than expected xD

Same to be honest, I wanted A's, but I swear it's easier second time round...
A lot of times my teachers would give me work I could quite easily do at home so my attendance was about 50 % by the end of the year

A lot of times my teachers would give me work I could quite easily do at home so my attendance was about 50 % by the end of the year I was bothered and half not bothered about my grades :L but I got an offer at uni or my firm. My attendance was below 50% too and stopped going to college in March 2012 and just went in for exams xD

If you want to get into uni, I would advise applying during a gap year, with grades in hand. Unis likely won't believe that you can get BBB from those AS grades but if you apply when you already have BBB you'll be far more likely to get offers.
