15 August 2013 A-Level results: Discussion thread - results day is here!

You have unwittingly given away your name, Simon. Buying yourself a birthday cookie?!

Probably a stupid question, but is CCC the actual average? I've never seen anyone who genuinely couldn't do better than that...

Worst case scenario; you have to resit some modules and reapply OR you go to a uni you arent completely happy with.

It's not really that bad, is it? Compared to people who can't/don't go into further education or people who wouldnt even dream of ABB.

for example, I ate a grape this morning thinking it was seedless but it had seeds and i didnt like it. This got me thinking; why didnt I eat an orange instead? Even if the orange had seeds, at least I would have been more prepared. But then the orange could have been sour, and I inadvertently made the correct decision with the grape.

I did PSYA4 this summer

Same here. Those little mistakes have a way of sneaking up on us D:

One week from today I'll know my results by now. Oh dear.

If on results day your firm says unsuccessful does this mean your not allowed to ring up the university ?

Does anyone know where you'd stand if you applied for a different course through clearing? (If you don't get grades for firm etc)?
Is it allowed?

If it says unsuccessful, they have made their decision - you are unlikely to convince them to give you a place.




I never really understood saying this. It's like saying that some people in Zimbabwe are as rich as some in the UK - yes it's true, but the general rules still apply; people in the UK are richer. There's a tendency on TSR to assume that all generalisation is automatically bad, which is simply untrue. Of course there are individual differences.

Alright mate, calm down.
I wasn't asking for your life story.

I don't give a **** about other people :') they hold no relevance here.

i do have this other really good story about a boat, an ice cream and a rather clumsy waitress.

I'm sorry if you interpretted my post this way; I was just trying to be helpful/positive by saying that even if things go South, you shouldn't have too much to worry about.

I feel like I've been way too confident; haven't even got a plan B for if I get less than ABB

I 100% am not going to my insurance >:C

Where do you plan on going for uni may I ask?

It's not only allowed it's downright common!

If you do this then it's worth having a think about it now about which subjects might be worth looking into - you should at the very least have a bullet point style PS about why you are interested in the subject that you can refer while you're on the phone to clearing unis if need be.

Fingers crossed I'm going to Keele my insurance is Lincoln but I haven't even visited it, or looked at the course in particular depth

What about you?
