Hi, I got CDEE!! at AS and ended up getting AAC in the end... I am now at manchester and getting fastracked by BB's for their intern programmes!! IMAGINE

It was a long journey tbh, as long as you know you want better grades and work hard it will pay off!!

Hi! Wow that's amazing! How did you manage to turn your grades around like that?

Thank you!

1) I prayed

2) I knew my ability and knew I could do better

3) Know what gets you distracted and AVOID

4) Think about it this way, if you don't get the results you need you could be F'D! You might end up in a uni you hate and that's "****", or have to repeat.... So FEAR! lol

5) As soon as you receive work, go over it... make notes... by the time your exams come you would have all the notes you need. Plus it is better to understand something at the time you learn it than later when you have learnt loads of other things!

6) I did not want to be the failure out of my friends... there's always that friend that messes about with you BUT ends up getting good results! ughh!

7) Lastly, don't give up on yourself... only you know your true potential... not your teachers, friends or parents.

My 7 Golden Rules LOL

I'm in a similar position to you i'm carrying on with A2 and will work my ASS off i know we all say that but during AS i underestimated how much work there would be and i feel like i'm more prepared now but with no january exams i'm VERY VERY worried as i'll be retaking some of my AS exams And applying to low rank unis is what i'll have to do as my predicted grades won't even be that high. Just have to work hard and get abb at least and then take a gap year to re apply or go through clearing. i hate this but it's gotta be done, just wish i got better AS grades.

Wow, you've motivated me to do better this year!

During my AS year I got DDDE in Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Maths. I was really lazy during my AS year and hardly put in any effort or attended lessons. Those results were a big wake up call. I started working harder, retook almost all my AS modules along with my A2, and I got my results back yesterday. I got A*A*AA in Maths, Biology, Chemistry, and Physics.

SO YOUR LIFE ISN'T OVER! You can still get the grades, you just need to be willing and hard-working.

Can someone tell me if they managed to pass AQA English literature that subject gets impossible as the day comes! Closed book exam though wth

What specification are you doing?

B I think? Its the gothic genre so doing Frankenstein, Macbeth and Pardoners Tale

Went from ABBC at AS to A*A*A at A2. Worked 10 hours a day and didn't really have any social life for a year. But it's worth it in the end.

Oh I'm doing A, the theme is love through the ages, so scared for summer exams, got a D at AS

I'm doing Love Through the Ages too! How are you finding it so far? We've been focusing mainly on coursework until a few weeks ago, lol

Mine went the other way round unfortunately, AAAA at AS and finished with ABB at A-level, ended up missing my offer for medicine (AAB)

Same what are you doing your cw on? I have a mock in January too which I haven't done enough wider reading for. It's an alright theme I guess though, how about you?
