how will that help?


Umm you can talk about the skills you learnt from it? :biggrin: E.g. quick thinking when a customer has a problem. What were you applying for again?

The only one I can get into I think is Bradford, I might apply for some lower grade uni's then just go through clearing...because with BBC I cant really apply to a lot of Chem Eng MEng Uni courses...so sad...

Do you have time to ask your teachers for higher predictions?

Are you hoping to have a gap year?

They said they have already sent them and they wont change them anymore...

Not really but if it comes to that then yes!

If you have a gap year then you can apply next year with actual grades :smile:

Not sure how well you know Bradford as a uni or as a place, but if you have any questions, I am happy to try and answer them - I live quite close to Bradford and know a few people who are at uni there :smile:

Wellll considering I had two tests today, I feel awsome, I walked out of maths confident but then I realised that I messed up the seven marker but I feel really confidant that I well get ECF marks on that so around 91% for maths...and my chemistry test, ngl I think I 98% i.e I dropped 1 mark. I am so happy that my revision is paying off!!!!

Sorry I didn't do an update post last week, my shifts were just terrible times and after I came back I was just too tired, I am really sorry :frown:

I will an update on this week tommorow and maybe last week! I have work as well so this all just depends on how tired I am....

I forgot to mention my physics one, I wasn't very happy about this one but I got 71% I made a lot of silly mistake and the test was out of 35 so every mark was around 2.9% so I kind of messed up...
Stay safe everyone!

Nope, I would maybe take a gap year but thats worst case scenario...Unis dont give foundation years unless you have done the wrong subjects

ahh okay, which uni's are you planning on applying to? Also, I don't think that's true since manchester uni gives offers of BBC with a foundation year with maths and science subjects
