English Lit: Predicted A / Achieved A

History: Predicted A / Achieved A

Psychology: Predicted B / Achieved A

Bio: Predicted B / Achieved C (will be retaking)

Comments:
Extremely happy with the three As because they are all of high percentages however was expecting more in Bio even if I'm dropping it and not taking it to A level.

Future Ambitions:
International Relations in LSE would be the dream however I know it's extremely competitive, will be applying to King's, SOAS and Edinburgh as well though.

Unbelievably happy. Always dreamed of 3 A's but felt bad after some exams, so relieved.

Future ambitions
Physics at University. Still undecided on where. I welcome any suggestions.

Heard Manchester is good. Maybe Birmingham, Cambridge, Oxford?

Manchester is apparently really good. Really hoping to push for 3 A*s next year, but not sure if I'd even be considered for Oxbridge atm :frown:

There aren't any raw marks on my results for English Literature (I'm on OCR and it's the new A Level course). I'm confused cause I got a B but I got 120 UMS points which is apparently the highest number you can get? Unless I'm just looking at this all wrong :/

St Andrews is really good for Physics, ranked number 1 on the Guardian league tables (doesn't really mean much but shows it has good student satisfaction and stuff). Offer is 'only' 3 A's but it has an offer rate of ~33% compared to Manchester and Birmingham's ~80%.

Those aren't your raw marks, they're the UCAS points you get for a B grade- an A is worth 135.

Pretty pleased! I'm a little disappointed that I got 86 UMS for FP1 as I got 100 on the 3 applied modules and core 1 & 94 on core 2...I'm nervous for fp2 next year. :s-smilie:

For AQA Further Maths, what are the requirements for an A*? Thanks!

My school didn't enter us for the physics or history AS and instead we did these 'in-house' tests and coursework...I think my school are a little tight. :tea:

Future ambitions
Hoping to study maths at Cambridge, but unsure exactly what I want to do after that. :llama:

How were you predicted an A* at AS when the highest in an A?
Or is it because you were doing so good that they knew you'd get A* at the end of A2 and hence predicted you it XD

Because that AS has no bearing on your A Level. The AS is a one year course, the A Level is a two year course, that's three years crammed into two. You're not supposed to be doing that, but a lot of schools and colleges are doing it and I don't think it is fair.

But everything you learn in AS is relevant to the A level course as a whole??

English Lit: 193/200 UMS = A
History: 200/200 UMS = A
French: 180/200 UMS = A
Maths: 282/300 UMS = A

Well done those are amazing results! I don't think hardly anyone got 4 A's at my sixth form.

Predicted straight A but achieved BAAA ; biology, chemistry, maths and further maths respectively .

Has anyone else seen their school get really awful results across the board or is that just mine?

Wondering if the exam boards have decreased the % of A's they're giving out but it doesn't look like that's the case on here.

Comments and reactions : I was literally shocked. Never expected 5A's, it was like a dream come true. I thought I completely failed AQA Chemistry as the first paper was impossible. Maths got 98/100 in C1, 95/100 in C2 and 81/100 in S1 (might resit the module)

Future ambitions: Hopefully medicine, I'm thinking of applying to UCL, King's , Queen Mary and Imperial.

Congratulations to everyone!
