Definitely. I have heard stories from people at my school of their friends at other schools whose teachers leave the room and tell them 'not' to go to the desk. The worst was probably a story of a teacher just not being bothered and putting the questions and some answers up on the board...
Did anyone do AQA AS English Lit, History or Biology?? I'm terrified for results! I wasn't very well during exam time, so if I fail will I be able to tell someone that? I know for sure I failed bio, history was better than expected but I'm absolutely awful at history anyway so I probably failed that, and English is usually my best subject but I completely made up what Bloody Sunday is because I forgot so I messed that up
Unless you have a doctors note then no but to be honest it doesn't matter if you get EDD at AS. The Universities that you choose won't care that much what you achieved at AS unless you have applied for Cambridge or Oxford. What is more important is that you improve on whatever grades you achieve, if necessary, and provide a strong personal statement.
who is studying banking , finance and management at loughborough?
i am so scared i wont make my grade in maths, I need a B i hope loughborough would still consider me,
they gave me an offer despite i failed to meet their english gcse requirement. also i deffered my entry so i dont know if they would reject me and ask me to retake.
Any one got an idea what might happen if i missed a grade?

I don't think there is. I feel for you, as the other poster said!
What happens also is, because the exam isn't done at the same time for almost all schools/colleges (due to not enough room in science labs/not enough equipment and different timetables) many students who sit the exam first, go off to tell their friends in other classes whats on the exam paper - giving them a major advantage.
It's a very unfair system and it needs to change. Practical should be a proper exam in the sports hall with 100% How Science Works (HSW) questions 1 hr long - 40 marks. And the HSW questions in the theory exams should be removed to compensate.

I can easily get a docs note before Thursday... I'm still being treated for what's wrong, are you saying they'll accept this then? And I have my sights set on Uni of Manchester... which is AAA/AAB for my course and if I fail my AS I'll never get the grades up to that standard! Personal statement shouldn't be TOO bad as I do have a lot to say on it and have had advice from UoM students who are doing the course I want to do. Thanks for replying btw!
I know. We once spent ages in a Biology lesson talking about this with our teacher (who refuses to cheat - he's too honest a person). It's so unfair because people whose teachers don't do this won't get as high marks. 36/40 for an A is so high! At least the practicals are not worth as many UMS marks as the exams. I get that it is really difficult, but I think that they should do practicals so that everyone does them on the same day and teachers don't get to see it before, all they get is materials to prepare students with. However, I can understand that this would be very difficult to implement. There isn't really a perfect way to do practicals.
