I felt then same way after my History retake so I understand, we should just hope Essex will be lenient come results day :redface: When I went to the experience day, one of the students said she got in with BCC through clearing so hopefully we'll be fine!

Aw I get you. Yeah Essex is supposed to be pretty lenient with their grades. Not too sure about how it's all going to go though, might end up taking a gap year depending on how I take my results. I'm just drifting now, unsure of what to do lol.

Same here, though my parents will be really annoyed with me. I told them about how the exam went and my mum sounded quite disappointed :s-smilie: Do you have any exams left? Just try your best to make up for English - you may even have done better than you thought!

I've brought up the gap idea to my parents for a few months now so they won't be too shocked if I mention it on results day, perhaps try and discuss it with them beforehand? Ah yeah I know what u mean, my dad started criticising my exam technique when I told him I nearly ran out of time :colonhash: Yes! You? I will try but my motivation is at an all time low atm -_- You too!

Ah I should have done that earlier so now they'll feel suspicious :redface: I'll try to speak to them. Dads are always the criticising parents lol, my dad is already reminding me about results day when I want it the last thing on my mind -_- I actually wish I had, my subjects were pretty coursework-heavy this year. Motivational videos will help :smile:

Ahhh I get you, some of my friend's parents are dead set against them taking a gap year but she managed to talk em around :redface: I know right haha, my dad was like he'll take a day off in case I need "help on results day" indirecting that I'll have to go through clearing kmt :angry: Results day will be on the back of my mind all throughout the summer holidays :/ Ah yes, I find coursework much easier than exams but strangely enough I do better in exams? :dontknow: Haha I haven't ever watched any, love YouTubers though :tongue:

I won't know how to talk them round lol but they'll have to get used to it right? Lol my dad was thankfully at work last year - he didn't even ask about my AS results! But who knows, you may nit even need clearing :smile: I think he'll be around this year too though, but he's dead set on me getting into Essex haha. Really? I find it hard but it's probably because I leave it to the last minute -_-. I've noticed that too, the fact that we have all year to prepare, we somehow do better :smile: which YouTubers do you watch?
