I'm ecsatic over the C3 and C4 grade boundaries :biggrin:! I was very disappointed with my performace, having found myself in a position where I was potentially either going to scrape an A* or just miss out on it, despite aiming for 100 UMS in each paper this year (after achieving 100 UMS in C1/2 last year). As such, I'm very happy - especially so when considering I may still have achieved 100 UMS in C3, even after flopping half of Q2 (yes... Q2 :P).

I didn't do as well as I would've liked, but I still made it to uni! I also got an A in C4 which is always nice! :biggrin:

Thank you! And congrats for the wonderful grades. Smash it next year!
Wewt, rekt those Maths results :biggrin:, congratulations everyone!

Overall grade: A* | 549/600 UMS | 91.5% UMS

UNITS:
MPC1 - 100 UMS
MPC2 - 100 UMS
MPC3 - 100 UMS
MPC4 - 93 UMS (didn't finish the vectors and made two silly mistakes </3)
MM1B - 100 UMS
MD01 - 56 UMS (yeah, I did no revision for that one)

I know, RIP in pepperonis 100 UMS in all core units :/ (was never aiming for 600/600 UMS because I'm too lazy for the optional unit :biggrin:... only got 100 UMS in M1 because it's ez pz xD).

Overall A-level subject grades:
AQA Mathematics - A*
OCR Physics A - A
Edexcel D&T Graphic Products - B

AS subject grades:
AQA Mathematics - A
OCR Physics A - A
Edexcel D&T Graphic Products - A
OCR Chemistry A - B (dropped because I didn't really like it that much and was thus less willing to revise - especially so when considering my school makes you drop to three A2's unless the fourth is Further Maths - for it, hence the B)

Well done! Do you know where you're applying and for what course?
99 UMS in core 3 because I did a maximum instead of a minimum :colonhash:
