I did much better than I expected. Was predicted AAB and I got A*AA so i was completely shocked and thrilled by that. Congrats to everyone else :biggrin:
Did better in some and worse in others.

Better in: M1, S1, G492
Worse in: F322, S2

Still got the overall AS grades I expected though.

Thought I got AAACd but instead got A*AABb. Absolute shocker!
I got As in all my papers except in one of my two RS papers in which I randomly got an E. That brought my RS grade down to a C, and I needed a B. I was only 3 marks off, and expecting to get an A :frown:

I was expecting BBC/BCC, and managed to pull out AAB from somewhere! Utterly thrilled :smile:

Well done to everyone who got into their uni places! x

Heartbroken! I was expecting A*AB (or at least AAB) but ended up with ABC

I was just 1 UMS off the A* in Math, 20 UMS off the A in further math, and 5 UMS off the B in psych... gutted!

I did a lot better than I expected. Nothing spectacular, not a load of As but I got BBD. I knew the D was coming but I didn't expect 2 Bs. My offer was BCC unfortunatley so I didn't make it in but I'm happy I have 2 Bs to work with!
Never been good at exams xD.

Considering I expected to get CDD and to go through clearing (because I botched up January exams)... getting a BBC at the last minute isn't bad XD. (Yay for getting a few A's).

Was expecting AAAB (bloody magic tang chemistry gdfgrfd) But ended up with A*A*AA
I was desperate for 3 As for my firm (and only, because I couldn't find an insurance Uni I'd be willing to go to compared to waiting another year and reapplying/resitting) and was taking 4 A-Levels - I guess I hoped for AAAB.

Got A*A*AA! :eek: In History, English Communications and Culture, English Literature and Sociology respectively - I was crying happy tears for most of the day. :smile:

Congrats to everyone else that did well too; I'm so happy for all of you. :biggrin:

Exactly the same with me (bit weird, remember me from GCSE English forever ago?! :tongue:). Still really pleased with AAAB, but my parents want me to retake to get an A. Won't be that hard, only had two modules and one was an A anyway, but still a bit bothersome. :rolleyes:

Which subjects did you do?


:yep:, How time flies eh. I was abit gutted, about a lack of 90% and have had to rethink my course of action. I did English Literature, Politics, Economics and Philosophy..your English advice really helped, even at A-Level:cool: Which subjects did you do? I'm considering whether or not to since the B was in Philosophy, and I'm wondering whether I should do 4A2's or cut my lossess and just retake the AS units in January?

Warwick don't actually expect people to always reach their offer for Maths!
