omd did you do the AS maths edexcel papers?

1. A level
2. CTEC Business, English Lit and Politics
3. I genuinely don't know how to feel about the exams? Like they weren't the best but they they weren't terrible?
4. My firm is Durham (DAA), my insurance is Sheffield (DAA) I feel like a bit of a mug with my firm and insurance grades now
5. At Durham my offer is for law, but at Sheffield it's law with Chinese Law
7. I was predicted D*AA, I already achieved the D*, it's just the 2 A's that worry me
8. How are you feeling about results day? Absolutely scared. Legit just want it to hurry up so I can find out my fate

Nope I was on AQA.

feeling a bit scared is normal, would you feel more comfortable doing research beforehand about what's in clearing so you're prepared if the worst happens?

Yeah I have! I looked into Exeter (they're asking for BBB for law with business which is perfect because I want to specialise in corporate/commercial law.) I looked into the leniency of Sheffield, they let people in through clearing with BBB.

I also looked into Law at queens Belfast, they're also asking for BBB. I don't know about Nottingham's grades yet but it has been said that they're in clearing for Law and I have done the LNAT so it could help with them.

I'm kind of worried though because I'm not in the country on results day and I'll be 6 hours behind

8. How are you feeling about results day?
I honestly havent even thought about it this year, is that weird? I just havent been worried at all. I would still like to do well though as for me, math and chem are modular since i do international exams for them (I live in dubai). But Eco is linear and edexcel.

9. Anything else to add?

I was going to drop physics 2 weeks before doing the AS, Then i just couldnt because i felt as if i was wasting a years worth of learning, so i tried my best in it. Also my chem teachers r dumb for predicting me a C. Either way, i would like to get AAAB, or AABB, with a B in math and physics as those exams went worst. If i dont get an A in eco and chem ill be dissapointed Worst case i can imagine BBBC and that wouldnt be good for my predicted grades next year.
