Exams - I've just realised I must have failed and I'm so upset

Please help me, I feel so low at the moment. I'm actually crying as I write this coz I just know Ive been so stupid.
For my AS levels I did English, Psychology, French and German. For English and Psychology (my strongest subjects) I got an A at AS but I didnt properly look at the UMS marks. Now I've noticed that in Psych, I got 240 and in English I got 243, so in other words i JUST scraped an A. The rest of my subjects I got Bs. I really need these 2 As to get to my firm uni (my offer is AAB) but I've just realised I probably havent done it.

I got As in all my coursework modules this yr and the exams went ok but I feel so awful and unconfident. I feel so stupid for putting such a high offer as my firm and getting so attached to it. I wish I'd retaken some modules. I feel sick to my stomach and I cant stop crying. Please help, I dont know what to do.

Stop panicing! There's nothing you can do about you exams now so stop worring over something you can't change. I'm sure you'll do fine, and even if you do drop a grade it's still likely that your uni will accept you anyway. Just chill out and thursday will come soon enough, then you'll realise that all the worrying was for nothing :smile:

If you have As from AS, and As in your coursework, you have a few marks to play with. You may have done well for all you know, you have no way of judging until you see your slip. And even if you don't make your grades, the Uni may still take you.

Even if you don't, there are lots of great Unis out there that you can get into through Clearing. Go into all the Uni subforums, and you will see every single one has people who love them and think their Uni is great. :smile:

There are always more doors that will open for you, so just look forward and get ready to snatch any opportunity you get. :smile:

Chin up, I know how you feel. But don't worry, you will get something. :biggrin:

Just think even if you don't get into your first choice is your insurance that bad? A uni is a uni so just be happy your even going.

look this close to the results you are bound to panic! but dont worry, there is nothing you can do about it now just wait till thursday and deal with whatever the situation is then. I need an A in history for all my courses and i only scraped an A at AS in that, but you never know how things will work out. Godd luck, and try to cheer up working yourself up about this wont change anything xxx

Wait and see what happens come results day - there's nothing else that you can do. Also, if a university makes you an offer, then they obviously like you (to a greater or lesser extent), and hence sometimes let in people who narrowly miss getting the grades depending on how many other people get/miss the grades, plus on how good/interesting your personal statement and/or interview was. Just chill out, and keep busy to try and distract yourself from dwelling on something that may or may not be the case.

You're not going to fail because of a "few little mistakes". A few little mistakes means getting a low A isntead of a high A.

Why post this in anon......

Because a lot of my friends come on here and I dont want them to know that I'm feeling upset.
And I dont mean a B is a fail, its just that I really want to go to my firm and I need certain grades.

Thanks to the people who gave helpful advice I feel a little bit better

Why not? They're all probably feeling the same way, and they could comfort you alot better than people on an internet forum :p:

no offence meant to anyone, but to markus angelsdaughter if you need As a B can feel like failing, because it is below what you are expected to achieve. I always hate trying to exlpain that because people think its being stuck up but its all about how you personally feel and if you really needed an A, well anything less is a bit dissapointing! Good luck hun, really hope it works out for you and all this worry is for nothing!
