A Level Results or UCAS?

which one are you checking first?
I guess there is the thrill of checking your grades and then seeing if you got in but I know a lot of people want to skip all the wondering and uncertainness and want to cut straight to whether they were accepted or not.

Personally, I'm torn. Like I want to check my results first cause they are important to me outside of uni but I also have wanted to go to my firm for 4 years now so I don't know but I'm curious about everyone else.

I'm honestly so unsure. I'm probably gonna wake up and head to my school to collect my results while panic refreshing UCAS to be honest to see if I got in

It's easier to just go in and collect results. I know someone who was so confident that they'd get into the firm that they stayed home on results' day, only to find that they'd missed their offer. They didn't know their A-levels so getting into clearing was much more stressful than it had to be.
