Basically exactly how I feel. Okay generally, but worried about a couple of exams and really don't want to end up at my insurance.

Terrifying innit. I thought AS was bad...A2 is another level.


Right, like I'm trying to distract myself so much but everyday I just keep thinking about it all the time. Just wish we could all find out a lot sooner.

What's so bad with your insurance btw? Personally, I'd never insure somewhere where I wouldn't want to go, but that's just me.

Hey i would really appreciate feedback from everyone on TSR about the following issue:



For the October/November exam timetable i have noticed that CIE have placed several exams applying to all levels over very religious Jewish holidays. I would like to find out if anyone else has been affected by these exams as CIE dont seem bothered to help out with this issue. i would really appreciate if i could get assistance on this matter as i feel as though have been left alone to deal with an issue which i am sure others are also facing.



I look forward to your responses

Laila

imagine Ramadan and having to fast during your exams, religious events don't and shouldn't have ANY say on when exams should be just deal with it
I'm hoping for ABCD in my AS results😁
With regards to new AS level spec how do people think the grade boundaries will differ, especially for sciences as there are no more ISA's and it's also the first year of the new spec..

same , ive been getting dreams
I got my results two years ago but I still dream about A-Level results day (and they're usually not good ones) :tongue:
I missed out, I only got around 1 dream about results day at A-level, and so far have only had one for uni. :hide: both the frustrating ones where you don't see what you get.

Had a dream that a got an A* in my biology which is weird considering I'm sure I flopped that first exam. Lol

Pretty sure they will be low. If you look at the boundaries for the 'old' spec, they were way lower in the few years that in recent years. So I guess the same will happen with the new specs.
Bit late to the party, but oh well...

Are you AS or A2?
A2
What subjects are you taking?
Psychology, Biology, Maths, AS Further Maths
To which university are you hoping to go?
Cambridge
To study what?
Psychology
What grades are required for your desired degree
A*AA
What grades are you predicted?
A*A*A*a
How did your exams go?
Mixed bag. Psych went great (but OCR can drop you to 3/15 for misinterpreting a question so....), bio was pretty good (50/50 on the A*). Maths and FM were going good until my last two exams, which were both terrible :redface: Probably missed the A* and the a there...
How are you feeling about results day?
Uncomfortable. I've probably got the A* in Psych but it's not a safe subject to be relying on, and Bio could go either way...

Well it's not like I hate my insurance, which is Manchester. But insurance is second choice, and seeing as you have to insure somewhere, you kind of end up insuring somewhere ideally you don't want to go.

I remember having one about a month ago and what happened was I got E's in everything and also was attached a letter from the exam board saying how they know i cheated by using ' model answers' and I was crying ...

How are you feeling about results day?
I have a long list of unpleasant things I'd rather do than recieve my results :yes:
