Official AS & A2 Results Day 2016

That's dedication for you - hope it works out for you! I still don't think it would have worked for me - too much like hard work lol. I got an A in my psychology A level. What are you planning on doing at uni?

Why is everyone on here talking about being scared of results day. Yes, it's scary but there's 3 and a bit weeks left so just enjoy them and worry a day or something before. No point getting worked up now, you can't do anything..what's done is done and everything happens for the best. I got crap GCSEs but moved schools and got AAAA last year, so don't fret 😊 as long as everyone tried their best, that's what matters

I kinda see your point... but our futures are literally at stake here. AS may have gone really well for you, but that certainly doesn't guarantee the same results again this year (though hopefully that won't be the case!). The outcome of results day will have a massive impact on our lives - not just the three or so years at university - so it's natural to be stressed about it; there's a lot more at stake than any results day previously.

Yh like these determine a lot of people's career prospects which will influence the rest of their lives so idk it's pretty damn important

23 days to go; More than enough time to take a moment and not think about how your life hangs in the balance over the next few weeks and have a look at my fantastic short 8 question survey. Escape from the fear of impending failure and tell me your views on the importance of work experience today.

Cheers and Good Luck on Results Day, take comfort in the fact that McDonalds are always hiring

You are posting in an A-level results day thread, yet 'A-level' is not one of the choices for 'education stage'?

yh well at least I have a part time job meaning I won't have to resort to mc donalds lol and i did you survey hah

naaaaaah

Don't buy into the hype about A level results and university choice determining your career prospects. In 5 years time noone will give a **** what your A level grades where. In 10 years you won't even include them on your CV. In 10 years your degree will be 1 line on your CV...your working life will last 40 years, A levels are of very little importance long term (and even the things they influence short term aren't set in stone).

It can make a short term difference - or mean a change in direction - but your career is a marathon not a sprint, sometimes a diversion onto a different path (due to unexpected results, a chance conversation about an option you had never considered, a speculative application to something that sounds interesting outside your field etc etc) is the best thing that every happens (no matter how scary and upsetting it might feel at the time).

I don't agree with this statement. For example, as a medicine applicant, A level results are so important to me as it'll be so difficult to get into medicine if I don't get in at undergraduate level. So yes, university and A levels are very important towards my career prospects

...for the first time this year a med school is openly advertising places in clearing...

Ah congrats on your A ; I'm hoping for an A* lol fingers crossed, and I'm planning on doing maths at uni but I might change to psychology if I hate maths at degree level which I worry I will ahh !

Which one?
