3 grades below all my predicted grades
this is a throwaway account because i'm so embarrassed.
i took a level biology, physics and computer science. my sixth form performs well below average when it comes to a levels, but anyways, i was predicted ABB.
well today i open my results to see a shocking DDU. i honestly don't know what happened.
i could get B's consistently in my mocks. i was aware that my predicted grades were a bit too high, but i was still confident i couldn't get any less than a C.
obviously i didn't get accepted into any uni's, and with my grades i don't stand a chance at clearing.
i don't know how to even retake my a levels, and even then, it seems to be extremely expensive to do so.
this is more of a vent rather than asking for help. i can't really blame anyone but myself (maybe my sixth form a little)(and aqa). it just sucks that i was clearly overpredicted by a light year and now i'm more disappointed than ever.
all my friends, who deserve better grades than me and put more effort in somehow managed to do worse than me.
for the amount of time i put in just to get these grades feels like the biggest waste of time in the world.
i blame my sixth form for over predicting everyones grades and giving us hope. i blame my teachers for marking mock exams wrong and giving everyone false hope. if i saw that i got D's in my mocks i wouldn't have firmed a uni that required BBB and put my insurance as a uni that required CCC. i know this is what happened to a lot of students in my sixth form too.
i apologize for the unstructured, incoherent ramblings, but thanks for reading anyways.
hope everyone reading this got the results they wanted.
also i hope AQA is put out of business for what they do with physics every year.

This happened to me but not quite so severly. I took Bio, Chem, Eng Lit, Maths. Predicted all A* but an A in Maths and achieved all A*-B all year and then come out with AACD. I know its not as sever as your case but I was just shocked. Hope you can find something- look at degree apprenticeships!

Talk to your school about resits - and then, ask for copies of your exam papers and talk to your teachers about what went wrong
That's the issue, my sixth form performs so below average that they just don't do my courses anymore. My year had a decent choice of A-levels, but the year after me only has options for btecs, so I literally cannot retake year 13 at my current sixth form.

Can you think about a Foundation year?
What subject do you want to study? A foundation year is a good call.

Hey @throwaway310 👋
Firstly, I'm so sorry to hear about how you are feeling - I completely understand how disheartening it can be to obtain grades significantly lower than you expected. Please remember that you are not alone, and that you are more than just your grades - you still have so many options available at this stage, even though it may not seem like it.
What course would you like to study? If you had your heart set on university, why not find a university that offers a foundation year in the specific course?
Alternatively, there are always degree apprenticeships, depending on the course you'd like to study.
Is there someone that you can talk to in your sixth form about this, to establish what went wrong and get advice regarding resitting the exams if this is something that you'd like to do?
