Should be, you might have to wait a bit as the person who downloads them from the AQA secure site does so by hand and it's quite time-consuming.

Grade statistics?

Grade statistics?


Yes like the list of subjects and percentages of people who got each grade ; I find it very interesting to look at as you can compare it against grade boundaries to see whether people improved or not from the year before

Wow... In 2'of my subjects just under half of all candidates got an A or A* and in the last one just under half got a B or more.

Are you AS or A2? A2

What subjects are you taking? EPQ - English Lit, Economics, Maths, Religious Studies

To which university are you hoping to go? I have an offer from KCL but I'm almost certainly taking a year off so that I can reapply to Oxford, so will decline

To study which subject? Philosophy, Politics and Economics

If applicable, what were your AS grades? AAAD (D in Maths)

What grades are required for your desired degree? A*AA however I'm hoping to get A* (EPQ) A*A*A*A

What grades are you predicted? A* (EPQ) A*A*AB

How did your exams go? Well I think, ran out of time in D1, C3 and C4 went well and I may have just clinched an A* but not sure :s-smilie: All of my other subjects went pretty well as usual, I'm only really worried about Maths as I cannot get the D I got last year...

How are you feeling about results day? Apprehensive after having bad results days in the past, but I also really really really want to know what I got

Anything else to add? Does talking about results day make it sooner? Does checking unofficial mark schemes in anyway give me a hint as to how I did? No? Oh.

How on Earth did you get a D in maths with everything else being excellent if you don't mind me asking?

I think I just didn't realise the amount of practice I needed to do - I thought I could get away with putting as much effort in as I did for GCSE. Also I didn't have a great Maths teacher in AS year, though it was mostly down to me. This year Maths has been my #1 focus and I've worked tirelessly to get a good grade - including retaking AS. I think and hope I'll get an A and just might get an A* but we'll see. If worse comes to worse I am on a gap year so I could retake, but I really don't want to.

Thanks, I do have offers that I could accept but I really want to try for Oxford again. I got 100% in RS.

Tbf i don't think it's physically possible to finish a d1 paper in time unless you're extremely lucky

The one this year was horrific though, because it was actually a very easy paper and I knew how to answer everything. But they made us draw so many damn diagrams I couldn't cope

Exactly. It's why d1 is my least favorite unit. You're not tested on maths ability. You're tested on writing speed. I couldn't finish it either. And i don't know anyone that did.
Maths has always been the bane of my life :redface:
