2015 AS/A2 Results Day (Thursday 13th August) | Official Thread | 3 days to go

I have suffered from struggling to get to sleep(Insomnia) a lot and have simply had to stay awake because I couldn't stop thinking about loads of things at once so I'm not sure how I will cope on Results Day, what is worrying me at the moment is the realisation that Results Day will often result in a lot of stress(phone calls,clearing) if you don't do brilliantly along with your results, even if you do well Track may not be updated which could be worrying.

If your school opens earlier, you don't have to go asap

I'm not going to go in until 11am ish

Last year I went in quite late and it was a lot more peaceful

How can you bear waiting any longer for results?(or do you get them online early like me?)What if you are in Clearing or need to phone up Firm/Insurance?-it is very important for these reasons that you find out your results ASAP.You don't to be missing out a place at your dream Clearing University do you?

UCAS updates for 17/20 people - 3/20 will not have a clear answer on Track

And the UCAS embargo on results and the implications of those results has been strengthened this year. Although the embargo ends at 6am on results day this year so it's possible you may get an email from one of your unis prior to Track turning on - it's unlikely though. Most universities have learned from when UCAS turned track on at midnight one year with noone in the office except the IT bods fielding a million worried phone calls from applicants.

Most universities will open their phone lines etc at 8am and so will not send anything out electronically til then. They are allowed to put letters in the post on the Wednesday to arrive on Thursday - but a lot of people don't get post until lunchtime or later.

Results this month

I'm so so happy! It was literally right in front of me the whole time though Just out of interest, what kind of things did you put on your personal statement?

I'm annoyed with the way they're marking the typo question. I wish they'd just write it off.

Lol I almost did the same as you but I did law instead of psychology

I completely forgot to read or quote the source in unit 1 so I lost a few marks there!Posted from TSR Mobile

Guys I am very frightened for results
Prospective ODP student what are you lot most stressed about??
Has anyone started prepping for uni??

Results this month

I did a Maths Personal Statement and I wrote a lot about what I loved and had learnt from Maths/Physics and also the Maths I had created and investigated myself.To add to this, I talked about the fact that I wanted a career in Meteorology and linked this in with my Maths skills and also mentioned how I was self studying Additional Further Maths.Moreover,I talked a lot about what I learned at the Summer School I attended.Also, I mentioned the Maths Challenges I had done the fact that I had been on the School Council and in the UKYP and how I played Darts and how this was related to Mathematics.

Shoot, exam results ARE this month and Uni is NEXT MONTH! :dddddd

Agreed - really hoping they're lower than last year. I think my school might have f*cked up the marks - with the mechanics ISA, I got 7/7 for the practical, 9/9 PSA marks which must mean I got 14/34 on the paper. Something wrong here methinks...

Yes, if the boundaries were really really low that may save my 90+ average - hardest ISAs on record this year surely?

I only got a job since it's my families bar/restaurant, so it was pretty easy. Finding vacancies elsewhere was a little too difficult for me, but my job here pays incredibly well and now I have a lot to play with and cover Uni essentials!

Hopefully I shall do, it's my most sought after grade! I never dipped below an A* this year for mocks, but of course the final grade can be very different, but I'm hoping the consistency didn't fail me. I hope you get every grade you wish also!

AQA is a horrible exam board for anything and everything... they've lost papers, made errors in papers, marked really harshly, not marked properly at all (I know someone from last year who got a low C remarked and it went up to an A). There is a theory that AQA do it on purpose so that people have to pay for remarks.

I don't think so as AQA have to pay back the remark money if the grade goes up and this means that they still have to repay the markers I think so they would make a huge loss if this was true but then again they could get the satisfaction of annoying students.
