Poor Results information and discussion for A level students.

It depends on what predicted grades you get for A2. Generally, your teachers will take AS results as the primary method of predicting them, and maybe up it by one grade if you're doing well. If you want to get on a competitive course I'd consider either resitting them or requesting for them to be sent back for remarking.

You could consider resitting the year (if you are able to at your school/college) and redoing your AS levels. If you want to go onto A2 its best to drop one subject and then retake some modules in January, but don't overload yourself, you'll still have tough A2 exams in January depending on your courses and exam boards. You would have to put your AS grades down this year if you applied to university but not if you retook the year. Please quote me if you want me to explain anything.

If I did 2 A2s and 2 As next year, could I still get into uni?

But im going to be applying to Uni in few months, and A2 starts in a while, so how could they predict A2 grades ?

Dude no way, over here so many people in our class were predicted A's and the exam screwed us all over we all got between 70-80 UMS, I got 74 outy of 80 in my cw but a C in the exam and averaged out to a high B. I asked our teacher and she said she may get our whole lot re-marked as well. Something fishy is going on dude.

When you apply to unis your teachers will be asked to submit A2 grade predictions based mainly on AS results. e.g. if you got a C at AS then your A2 prediction may go up to a B but no higher. Your uni offers will be based partly on those predictions.

What if i am able to convice the teachers that i will be able to resit and get an A when i got a C now?

So today i got my A2 results. I am usually an average student, and i had firm and insurance offer, both from Reading Uni. However my actual results were extremely low compared to my two offers.

So i was not surprised when they declined me. Anyways now i am try to decide what to do next. Looking at my grades i think retakes are inevitable. So here are my option:

1) Go back to 6th fourm where i will try to do my Alevels again but this time i will try my best to work as hard as i can.

2) Go to a local college to do my alevels but i am hesitating to go here as i heard the quality of education and student discipline is not very good.

3) Stay home and re take.


So the wise people of student forum HELP ME PLEASE

and what's wrong with 70-80 UMS? Where's the suprise? You don't strike me as a candidate who'd score anything above the mentioned.

Thanks,

Is it not possible for me to continue A2, then in Jan resit all the modules that i have got low in and get them high, then still get into a top Uni?

I mean, i know that i am capable of getting a much higher grade than this, i just took the holiday before the exams too easily and started revising way too late
