So, who's waiting on them? I get mine at 10 am tomorrow and I know for a fact I have done spectacularly badly. And that's not just me being self deprecating, I know that I have done terribly. All the same, I'm still incredibly nervous. Gonna catch the bus up to college and get them.

I did stunningly badly in my A-levels, got 2 D's and an E, still passes mind!
 Personally, I put it down to sheer laziness, lack of interest in the subject....and I played my N64 in the common room for most of the second year...probably first as well, ho hum, I got into Uni anyway. -------------------- He's a freak of nature, but we love him so.

My sister didn't have an allocated time to get here results. She could just come into school whenever she wanted. She took math and French ASs early. She got an A and a B respectively. She is too clever for her own good.

It is the essence of order, and leads to all that is good, just and beautiful, of which it is the invisible, but nevertheless dazzling, passionate, and eternal form." - Plato |

Back when I was doing them I got B,C,D, and E. I think I should do an evening class just to get myself an 'A' for the whole set. I think I also got something like a D in AS maths when I was 16, which wasn't bad considering we'd only been taught about one third of the sylabus.
Even with these fairly average grades I still got into uni, got a first class honours degree, and onto a PhD course, so don't stress about things too much. -------------------- Trouble Down Pit: Still updated every Monday and Friday

I get mine in an hour and ten minutes. I don't want them. I'm actually feeling sick with apprehension right now - if I pass, I won't have done well enough, if I fail, I either don't get to do the courses next year, or mum kills me, one of the two. I spent 6 hours a day for 2 weeks revising biology, so I hope I passed that, cos I sacrificed my maths grade for it. And I did abysmally in music...
 meep.

I didn't quite get the grades I needed, but they let me in anyway.
 Somehow I got two B's and a C! I would have loved to get DUDE results though.

I was right
 A in General Studes - cos that's gonna be SO useful. B in Biology - 4 marks off an A. I worked SO hard for this, and sacrificed every other grade. B in Chem - could have got an A if I hadn't worked for Bio, was 10 marks off. C in Maths - could have got an A if I hadn't worked for Bio. C in Music - which was pretty good, for m class, but overall rubbish. This means I have to pull Maths and Chem up to an A in retakes next year. And Mum's disappointed. "At least you can retake with something to build on." And she's making me give up music

Hear hear SPS - I say take what the hell you want! I've read your topic in Personal Concerns GothicAngel and the last thing you should do is feel you have to bend to her wishes - especially on something as important as school. If you enjoy music and think you can improve then take it! For cripes sake - you'll need something fun to do among all the formulae and big numbers
 For what it's worth I think those are great grades, especially when you admit yourself you had difficulty with some of your classes, go you!

Well, my head of year agrees about dropping music, though for different reasons. I have to take general studies A2, cos I did spectacularly well in the AS by some random fluke, so theres no point in me redoing it. I'm also taking GCSE Spanish (I did GCSE Italian this year) as a fourth language, and the music department love me so I doubt I'll be banned from there forever. I'm not planning on having a primary career in music, and they can't take the extracurricular music away from me. So... meh.
Besides, I don't like arguing with her. I want to make her proud. -------------------- Once opened consume within three days. Above post is not suitable for home freezing. Store in a cool, dry area. |

I got
D- Biology D- Art C-French C-Chemistry ... I was expecting the d in art as I did not do well in the course. Art AS prefers a type of artist which isn't me... But I got an A in one chem exam, and a D in the other (re-taking one of the exams) and I got an A in my french listening paper, and a B in one of my bio exams, so I'll be re-taking two of them (bio) but leaving the rest. Aberdeen uni entry requirements for A-Levels are CDD. I think I might make it. Well done to all those who got results (no matter whether you failed or not, you at least attended college/ 6th form). -------------------- We are unraveling our navels so that we may ingest the sun.

I know what you mean about not being the type of artist that the exams are looking for. I had that problem pretty much all the way through my education. I taught myself to use Photoshop about twelve years ago, and was then told by my 'teachers' that 'you cannot make artwork on computers' (meaning that art was impossible on computers, not that they would not let me do it). I made sure that they saw a copy of The Guardian when they wrote a good review of my webart site

AA in Dual Science A in Maths B in English B in English Lit B in IT B in RE (I took the subject) C in Sociology C in History Got more than enough to get into the 6th form college of choice, however.
