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

I severely don't agree with them almost all the time; just because an A* student at GCSE got one doesn't mean you'll automatically predict that at A2 and seclude others with A*s in different subjects and with an A in that subject in a given context...

Skills matter more than the history at this point; only universities have the right to do so in my opinion!

I look to achieve AAAA-AAAB on Thursday with A/B in Spanish...
There was an infamous uproar over that examination with questions that Munich the Verbal Reasoning in the UKCAT/ common aptitude tests which was seen for the first time!

I studied AS Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics and Spanish.

yeah man , that paper was SOLID. hated it with a passion , the second to last question was really dismal however i liked the essay so hopefully that can bring back some marks for me haha

yeah i reckon i'll be on the A/B borderline in the macro paper , and definitely B/C borderline in micro it was horrendous.

On a scale of 1-10, how nervous are people on here?

4 atm

Yeah definitely! You'll be surprised by how low the grade boundaries are, there's probably nothing to worry about! I HATED Wuthering Heights, I couldn't bring myself to read past chapter 7 because it was so dull! (So OBVIOUSLY in the exam I answered the Wuthering Heights question, what an idiot!)Faustus is easy though, it's not very long and there's only a few key themes etc throughout so there isn't much they can ask A lot of my class didn't like Faustus cause the speech etc is a bit confusing for people who aren't used to it, but you soon pick it up! And there's some quotes in there that I love! ("Had I as many souls as there be stars, I'd give them all for Mephistopheles", HOW CUTE?!) I'm nervous too! Just think, there's nothing we can do about it now so it's better just to distract yourself as much as you can

4 or 5 - but this is because ive prepared myself to accept the situation if my nightmare comes true and i get BBBC

I honestly don't know why you would apply to a university you didn't want to go to.

Right now... 2/3?

Wednesday night... 10

A strong 7.

Haha Wednesday night is going to drag..

Yeah it is all about how hard you work at AS/A2 level you cannot wing the exams like some would have done at GCSE's. This is where I think I have an advantage as I had to work hard at GCSE's and have continued that for AS levels.

If you get an A in chemistry you are now my god as I did it for AS but I literally just couldn't do it it was so frustrating so I dropped it at Easter to concentrate on geography history and psychology.

What do you want to do at uni? I want to do geography at Leicester.

I honestly don't know why you would apply to a university you didn't want to go to.

I'm gonna sleep it out!

I was planning on doing that as well but I don't think I will be able to sleep.

Is Leicester lovely, do you know!?

I should have written it in pencil like I did for my history exam lol
It was for English lit. One coursework I got the grade boundary for an A, whereas on the other coursework, my stupid self was too lazy to give in the first draft in to the teacher to mark it before the Easter holiday. So now my coursework (counting for 40% of my AS grade) will probably get lowered down to a C
Aw thank you What ASs are you doing?

Yeah that's what I think. I'd honestly much rather just have a firm and then enter clearing if there was nowhere I wanted to insure.

What are the exact words that will be used by UCAS when you get in, "Unconditional"?

What if you don't get in, will it say "Rejected"?
