Boyfriend got UUU in AS levels

Yeah he's thinking of doing that

To be fair though, should we really let letters on a piece of paper determine who we want to be with. If you love him for who he is, you will look past those grades

I'm not leaving him. We were talking on phone and he was just sobbing.I honestly didn't know what to say to keep him strong

Yeah like XXX even exists

This is what I'm going to do and I got UUUU. I feel his pain, memorising a load of bull**** about psychological case studies just wasn't my thing. I think this which I'm going to do will be much more enjoyable.

OP, as long as you understand him as a person and his intelligence is obvious in infinitely more telling ways then you've no reason to consider leaving him. I'm assuming being kept in the manner to which you're accustomed isn't a factor

If anyone walks out on a person because of a single result like this that doesn't really matter overall I honestly could never like that person.
Walking out because of a random grade fluctuation is the coldest thing you could ever do. Even the fact you might consider it is stupid.

The whole idea of a relationship is to be there for someone, if he asked you to not leave it just means he has gotten sad or depressed about his result because he did try for it. Just be there for him if you love him and if not you are still his friend right?

Anyone who walks out in this situation is a person I'd never want to talk to.

He is considering taking a BTEC
He doesn't want to retake AS.
We used to revise Maths together.lol after college.And he was predicted ABB.He has been crying the whole time.

Imagine getting GG for your results... (Let's hope at least one person gets that reference)

Of course she shouldn't, that would be a callous, unjustified and shallow thing to do. Don't you agree OP?

Either:

A) work out what went wrong and retake the year

B) take a BTEC in Engineering then go to university

I went with option B (never took any form of A level however) and still ended up in a redbrick. No-one will care once you graduate (I'm a full time engineer, only here due to being a masters student) trust me

yeah he's going to consider BTEC.

That's all someone said to me when I told them mine

YES someone got it! Why, did you get GG? xD

We were having a friendly competition over who did better. They told me their results proudly and were sure that they'd won, but turns out I beat them. They went silent for a few moments, said 'gg' and then walked away

which btecs are you going to do coz im in a similar position

Well I know a couple of people that get good results at A level ( A*A*A*a ) results on hard work alone, they're not very clever, even by their own admission. I also know people who are clever and haven't done very well at all, (CBB). Though not being able to work hard, is just as bad as being stupid, it's a genetic fault in my opinion. You can tell when people are clever or not when you talk to them for a while, clever people tend to come up with original ideas, and innovative propositions, free thinking and imagination. That has absolutely nothing to do with grades.

Clever + Hardwork = A*A*A*
Not Clever + Hardwork = A*A*A*

I got good grades, I scored an A* in A level maths amongst other good grades. Now hypothetically, within the realms of human achievement, if somebody scores A*A*A* it isn't very impressive is it? Don't be so flippant about people. Now if he can't work hard, then that will shine through to other areas of his life, that's a different matter. And concerning if Academia is for him or not? perhaps it isn't but that doesn't mean he can't be infinitely more successful than someone who suits academia. For example, I know builders who left school at 15, and they are profoundly more successful/wealthy than a great many number of people I know who went to top Universities...
