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

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

I was supposed to be watching the film Lincoln, but the nerves are starting to make the smallest of tasks impossible

Naturally you want as many UCAS points as possible for lower ranked universities. But if you're retaking year 12 it's worth bearing in mind that top universities like 3 good A2s and 1 good AS. So it might be worth your time picking something else up along the way.

I used to be a Big Bang Theory fan. Then I saw seasons 4-6.

When are the grade boundaries and mark schemes released? for Edexcel AQA and OCR

I did English Lit, dreading the grade

Which poetry collection did you do?

It's been said before.. predicted grades don't matter that much. I was predicted BBB and I applied to AAA - ABB course requirements in ALL of my choices. I received 5 conditional offers.

Universities are aware that students may exceed or down grade from their predicted grades. Some that will down grade the university may anticipate, but will still give an offer based off a strong personal statement.

If I retake year 12 then that definitely sounds like a good idea. The subject that I dropped was a last minute choice anyway and I hated it! (Ethics and Philosophy - not my thing) so hopefully I'll do better this time.

No one on here is an official representative so no one on here knows for certain.

This goes for UCAS also.

We can give you a reasonable guess based on what we have seen in previous years. That guess would be that grade boundaries for non-WJEC boards should be out by midday tomorrow, STEP results are out at 00:01am on Thursday, UCAS Track will open at 8am Thursday or perhaps half an hour before, you A-Level results depend on your school (but 6am to 10am is a reasonable guess) and official mark schemes will be leaked about a week later.

For me the show started going downhill after Howard got into a relationship. He was so awesome as a single guy. Used to be the most fun and biggest sleaze ball in history.
Plus Sheldon becoming more 'human' is quite annoying.

Where did you apply may I ask? And yh achieved grades are more important than predictions.

Keats (that's the bit I messed up in the last question as my teachers didn't bother teaching them) how about you?

Maths was my safe subject until the C3 exam tripped me up this year, and i need an A in that and physics for my offer Do you think you can get that A in business?
And so do i, it's awful! I would fail the hell out of it if it wasn't for the coursework part!
