Sounds like you guys are still worrying lots about your exams :frown: we think it's important that you relax and take some time off after your exams and enjoy the summer!! We find a new technique called mindfulness can help with stress. It's all about changing the way you think. If you keep thinking “exams stress me out” or “I stress over the results”, it can create even more stress.
So to help you out, our expert has put some top tips together to stop worrying about exams, see: www.bcu.ac.uk/stop-worrying
And to help you enjoy your summer, here's some events on in Birmingham that you might be interested in (ps you can win tickets too) www.bcu.ac.uk/visit-birmingham

Good luck for the 18th!
Hi all!!!

I know you guys over here are worrying over exam results and "oh have i met my offer?". I know it is hard to but try to get it out of your mind. Think about it, will stressing out change what will be in that sheet for results day? No right. So look to enjoy your summer as much as possible as you won't get this big and great of a summer again and think about it "would it be worth it worrying about something you cannot control where instead you can enjoy the long summer?". And if you tried your hardest then thats all you can do right!!! I personally don't think I did as well as i wanted to but the world won't end and I did what I can. If I asked you "Do you regret anything with your revision" and you answered no then you dont have anything to fear!!! Take your mind off it as much as you can!!!

I hope this helps!!!
It's got to the point where whenever I think of results day I feel sick.

Days seem to last forever but weeks are going by so quickly!!!! I really just want results day to hurry up now :frown: especially because I know that all my papers are marked by about now. We are in the quality control period and then the grade boundries are set about 2 weeks from now I belive. That leaves a week for assigning grades and double checking things and then unis find our grades a week before us.


Weird how most of the work is done in the sense are papers have been marked but our grades still haven't been worked out yet and weird how in a few weeks it'll all be sealed and there's nothing we can do to change it :/

Well there are still remarks. But yeah I know. I imagine that the markers have a rough idea of our grades already in each exam at least.

Practically speaking you can send your papers for a remark so there's something you can do to change it :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin:

Same here. Then I do something like eat an entire pizza and a bar of chocolate for comfort, and end up hating my life even more.

Actually need to get a grip!

Nope! I'll admit, I'm pretty anxious, but the thought of perhaps getting accepted to a uni to do a course that I really want to do is great. Anyway, until then I have tons of free time to do what I like, so it's a nice reminder that I do have an important life ahead of me but I can do other stuff unrelated beforehand.

It's better to be worried and scared in my experience. If you go in expecting good grades and then don't get them it crushes you.

:biggrin: I'm assuming your A2 then? That probably sounds stupid but to be fair it is quite late here, so I'm going to blame tiredness. Where are you hoping of going to uni?

Mhm, Westwood is my first preference since it's pretty nice there and the cost isn't too scary. How about you?

That's a pretty nice choice, I'm just happy that a lot of the accommodation there is rather good considering the options at other unis I visited where everything was cramped
