My GCSEs were AAAAAAABBBCC and my AS grades were AAAA with 99% average UMS :smile:

Just try hard, and you'll do well. You don't even need to be intelligent, you just need to work hard.

Wow 99% average :awesome:

Did ok at GCSE and felched up my A levels. ****ing tragic story... so depressed; my sanity and mental health has been in tatters since, realising that I am actually quite unintelligent. :cry:

With 99% average you'd be stupid not to apply :tongue:

Good luck hope all goes well :smile:

GCSEs - 1 A*, 4 As, 4 Bs, 1C
A levels (predicted for A2) - AAA in classics, maths and computing

Personally I find a levels a lot more easier and comfortable to learn. I didn't really study for my GCSEs and found them tedious and stressful in comparison.

A level allows you to rely a lot more on background information of a subject. If you are genuinely interested in your subjects it's very easy.

GCSEs: 2As, 5Bs, 1C and 1D
AS: ABBB (Chemistry, Maths, Physics, Product Design)
A2: A*AB (Maths, Chemistry, Physics)

Was very unfocused during GCSEs (with the exception of Maths and Product Design which I got As in), hated myself when I got my results. Re-doubled my efforts for A-levels and redeemed myself.
