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

Scroll to see replies

So with a clearing search opening up, can and should we take anything from it? I can see quite a few courses on there that I'd be interested in (including my insurance! :tongue:

) if worst came to worst, but I'm hesitant to get my hopes up because of it. Does anyone have an idea how different the list today could be to the one that'll be available on results day?

maybe depends on how many IB students take up places in clearing..

Verrrrrrrrrrrrrry nervous, I keep thinking I've made loads of silly mistakes and that my handwriting was illegible so the examiners just won't mark it

History, Psychology and ICT

What grades are you hoping to get?
I'm hoping for A*AA with the A* in Psychology, but I was hoping for A*'s in the other subjects too until I realised that I kind of messed them up a bit :colondollar:

Are you in year 12 or 13?
Year 13

To which uni are you hoping to go?
University of Birmingham

To study which subject?
Psychology

How did your exams go?

I thought they went well, the time really did get to me a bit though and some questions in the ICT exam had me like :colonhash:

, but overall I thought they went good despite my poor handwriting

Does anyone else think it's a bit unfair that IB students are advantaged in the clearing process and taking up all the places...

How are you feeling about results day?
I feel faaiirly confident that I've got into my firm BUT there's always that creeping feeling of doubt which gets worse the closer to the day. My weird results day dreams aren't helping either!

Which subjects do you study?
Physics, Maths and Chemistry (+ EPQ)

What grades are you hoping to get?
A*AA for my firm - A* in Maths or Physics. Don't care about EPQ really.

Are you in year 12 or 13?
Year 13

To which uni are you hoping to go?
Oxford

To study which subject?
Physics

How did your exams go?
Not sure, I can only remember the questions I got wrong and I just obsess over them. I did OCR Chemistry, so that was pretty painful.

Its going to be really hard accepting I haven't got into Cambridge as I have been there 4 times(Open Day,Summer School,Interview and Easter School), I have stayed there for 10 nights and I really loved the food,place and high quality lecturers I really should have probably spent more time at my Insurance Durham than going to one Open Day but there are positives to going to Durham as I will be with my friends(three of my classmates have offers for Maths at Durham) and I will be close to home and will be able to stay at home for the 2nd-4th years.

If it's any consolation, Durham is amazing! I've done the Easter academy and will be doing the Summer academy soon for medicine, but I wish you the best of luck mate because it seems like you're stressing out 😓

Yeah, and Scottish students (I think)! Though do they have to wait till 13th August for the full clearing list?
I'm jelly of the people whose colleges put their results online at 6am - they can hit up clearing before anyone else.

My firm is absent from Clearing thus far, so I hope that's a good thing.

Same! The uni is there, but my course isn't. Fingers crossed it means good things! :flower2:

I don't really see the problem.Why does it make such a difference to you that it is the same person replying to posts in a row?, if it was other people writing the same posts you wouldn't have a problem.If you have the same issue in future just ignore what poster posted the post and then you won't know that I posted so many posts in a row.

I have had complaints before about really long posts and if I multiquoted the posts could potentially be extremely long and its not my fault hardly anyone is online at night to post in between my posts.It isn't really spammy as I am not posting the same post over and over again.

If it was the same person replying 10 times in a row, regardless of who it was I'd be annoyed.

More so, because it is you.

No, because I have to scroll through it all...

Spammy = no one wants to read, blocking up the pages, you post repeatedly. If it was one long post, I'd know to just skip the whole post

And it is the same thing, its

'I've definitely missed my firm, Cambridge, because of step'
'i hope I've got into my instance, Durham now'
'I should have visited Durham more because I'm not getting into Cambridge and I really liked it the 4 times I was there'
'*insert UMS and grades'

What to do if u already got a firm place (foundation year entry 160 UCAS Points) and already have 240 UCAS point and hopefully after my resits should go up. But i'm double minded in wanting to switch course.

Would I go through adjustment or clearing as I would definitely have higher UCAS points than my firm but may be a bit short of the course I want to get onto

are you doing anything over the summer to prepare? It's always a bit of a mess trying to do maths after a long break so I feel like I should be :/

Yeah I'm going through the first few chapters of the 'Further Mathematics for the Physical Sciences' book but I didn't do Further Maths so I kinda need to! I've hardly done anything so far though, I might wait till they give us the online bridging course to properly start.
Do you think we'll need to know any computing?
