Anyone else terrified of AS/A-Level Results Day?

Less than a week left now and I could not be more worried to collect my results. This is my final year at my college (third year) and I feel as though my life will crumble if I do not get the grades I need to get into Cardiff. I am kind of in a depressed state after not receiving the grades I worked hard for last year.

Is anyone else fearing the dreadful day?

Yes I’m **** scared

Yep! Only getting 1 result (I'm in year 12) but it's the subject I want to take at uni and I need an A* to meet entry requirements or I cant apply. Very nervous!

You are definitely not alone with feeling like this! Do you have an Insurance choice as well or is it all about Cardiff?

I received an unconditional-insurance offer from Coventry a few weeks ago but I don't really want to go there...

4 A levels? That must have made life harder.

Are you applying for a Business related course? I'm crossing my fingers for you about Cardiff, but you don't have to accept the Coventry offer if it comes to it. There will be lots of good unis in Clearing this year and the option to self release yourself into Clearing if you don't like the offer you have

I can't bear the thought of results day. The fact that it's in a week is making me feel anxious already. But honestly it's a gamble I don't know how i did and its my first AS results day so we'll see. Although I'm quite scared about my performance in biology an psychology

It is definitely a gamble, especially if you are taking essay-based papers like Psychology or English.

They're predicted grades not grades and Iots of people want one safe option.

But @Kenneth19 there will be lots of vacancies for Business courses....I would stick with Cardiff if you get in as it's a great uni and you will have your accomodation sorted and so on, but if you don't, I would consider applying elsewhere in Clearing because it may be that there is too much of a gulf between Cardiff and Coventry.
