[Results day] Discussion thread MKIII - 15 August 2013

Feeling a little confused and would appreciate some advice...I got a B in English AS (predicted an A) because I got an A in the coursework and a D in the exam, is it worth getting the exam re-marked?

I got A*AB3 but needed A*A*A2 for my firm so have only gotten into my insurance

Well I'd normally say retake it to bump up your overall UMS (handy for next year) but it depends on whether you can deal with doing it next summer at the same time as A2's.

Why don't you get a photocopy of the script, and then use that to decide (via your teachers) whether it deserved a higher mark. If so, remark.

How far is the B into the boundary? Hopefully it isn't, but if the D is marked down, this could bring the B into a C.

Ohh right, well done nevertheless

Ahh. I'm only in Y10 and so only did C1 and C2- I don't find out until GCSE results next week but I think I got 99 and between 91 and 94 respectively. 83's not bad- it's an A! Can't you get an A* with an average of 90 across all three of your A2 or just in C3/C4? Reallyy not looking forward to next summer when due to Mr Gove I'll have M1 C3 C4 and M2 to do haha. Get your History re-marked. Are you Year 13?

How did you do then?

Lots of people feel a bit down about things like that; it's definitely not stupid! You worked hard, so I can understand how you feel a bit disappointed - you don't feel like your results reflect that! But I think your results are still fantastic, and hey. You're at uni! This time next year your A level grades won't matter any more.

Just got back from getting my A Level results. Today is the best day ever.

BBB at AS and DDE at A2. Didn't get into uni.
Unconditional offer for foundation year but I don't want it but don't want to risk rejecting it to go into clearing. Can I call anyways?
Looking at courses in clearing, but can't find any that will take my grades. Is it p

Oh well.

Congratulations to you lot

No, if you were stupid you wouldn't have been accepted, your university obviously wants you to go! Only feel disappointed if you know you didn't try your best, if you did then well done Don't be scared to tell your parents either.

Was your firm Warwick? If so have you received a definite no from them?

I didn't meet the entry requirements for Warwick and they haven't decided whether they're going to offer me a place or not, not sure if that is a good thing or a bad thing.

I'm not taking it to A2 so I don't know whether a retake would be worth the extra work but thanks, I'll talk to my teachers and see what they say.



Only 4 UMS marks above the B boundary

Just got back from getting my A Level results. Today is the best day ever.
