Sounds great!:biggrin: I know people that would die to be in your position right now! Do you mind if I ask what you got at AS? I'm guessing AAAB or above?


My AS results were quite shocking - AABB in Biology, chemistry physics and maths.

Pulled them up to A - Biology (522/600) A - Chemistry (504/600) A - Physics (500/600) with a LOT of hard work. Missed out on A*'s in biology and chemistry by a matter of 5UMS! But i'm not bothered, it got me into my course its all I need now.

Nah that's still pretty good! I got ABBC, but need to bring one of the B's up to an A next year. The C in physics looks bad, but I literally though I was going to get a U, so I'm happy about it :wink: Might still retake though because I was close to a B

I just received 4 As as my AS results. I'm not thrilled because an A simply means I may have lost 20% of the marks on the paper. In what world is that a good result?

I think an A should be 90% of UMS, or an A* grade be introduced.

What are your thoughts?


you lost 20% ! :0 GO SLAP YOURSELF
