Computer science
Gcse's- 1 A ,4 Distinctions, 3 B's, 5 C's
A levels- Maths, History, Economics, ICT
What do you think my chances are guys? I have terrible gcse's I know but I am hoping to get all A's for as and A*AA for a2. My grandad got cancer when I was doing my gcse's and that's a reason why I performed poorly, but there is no school records of this effecting me. But as for computer science, I do plenty of reading round the subject.

'The Hydrogen Economy'
Got half my French mock back, so far...
50/88 (we get the essay which is put of 35 tomorrow, so hopefully 80+ overall which would get me full UMS)

Plus they're raw marks, so UMS is probably higher.

Your GCSE's shouldn't matter tooooo much if you get really good AS results ie aim for 93+ % average, or really just as high as you can get, as this will almost guarantee you an interview if you have really high A's. Of course your reference and PS have to be really good too but the grades can be a deciding factor!
It's definitely worth a shot as people with lower AS results do get in but you will have a better chance with high results.

Are your mocks just past papers. I think my college tends to mix questions up so ppl can't 'cheat'.
The boundaries for Chem are annoying. Think it's 95% for 90UMS.

AS mock! they were silly little things
AS mock!
they were silly little things Ahhh I'm safe then! Go physics
Hahaha I bet it wasn't as silly as mine... Question: Qu'est-ce que les pauvres ont fait? Referring to poor people on a tv show.. answers were cooking, cleaning etc. I read the question as meaning "What makes them poor?" and wrote down unemployment, homelessness etc despite there being no mention of it in the listening! Embarrassing stuff Original post by keromedic

Mine were just things like spelling 'meilleure' (missed the second e), and getting 1/2 on those descriptive answers.
