So I recieved all my offers back a couple of months ago and I was going to firm Goldsmith and insure Essex however I have now decided that I want to get experience for my course before I go to university.
However I'm not sure 100% and I was thinking maybe I would decide nearer to results day based on my results.
What should I do should I just drop all my options but that would risk my opportunity if I was to go.

Thats the thing I was going to firm and insure today but it stated that if i firm and meet the expected grades that I have to go to my firm. Do you think thats true? Or on results day or before can I call to cancel my place?

Yeah they most likely will as in my first year I ended up with BBBB for my AS subjects. When I came back for my second year so A2 we had mocks during the year which determined my predicted grades for uni and averaged I got predicted a ABB for my UCAS. So don't worry about it

There'd be plenty of opportunities for you to get work experience over the summer. You could always do free online short courses (or paid ones) to work on essays and such at university level. I currently done a short course so I could get experience of writing an essay at university level, and I will be using the feedback to work on my essay writing skills before I start university in September. Really think it over, don't pressure yourself into thinking of something straight away. Weigh up the pros and cons of your options and decide what you would feel most comfortable doing. Likewise, if people say you should go one route, but you feel you should go another, then choose what's best for you.

You can ask your referee to explain your circumstances. Which exam board are you sitting?

Many universities are now less concerned by AS-levels anyway, and so long as your circumstances are explained it shouldn't be a problem

Ah, you are fairly unusual in having 3 unreformed A-levels.

Thank you, also many of my friends are telling me to sit my accounting exam(the exam which i won't be sitting this year) however i know i won't get the grade i want,do you think it is worth the risk so unis can see atleast i have tried,also i will have to write it in my UCAS and it will look bad aswell.

Hold on, are you saying you are dropping Accounting, or just delaying taking the AS exams?

If you sit it unprepared and do poorly you will still have to declare the results on your UCAS.
