GCSE/A-Level Results Day!

[AgnesIO]

Didn't do as well as hoped, but I didn't expect to do well anyway.

ICT - A (15 from A*)
Economics - B (11 from A)
Maths - B (25 from A) - A used to be guaranteed in maths until those horrible C3/C4 papers .

Probably could have got A*AB if not A*AA if I worked harder though. Didn't meet my conditional offer for uni but 5 mins after I saw my results I got a text from them saying my place was confirmed, and then realised they'd changed it to an unconditional offer so that's good I guess.

Congratulations on getting your place anyway - maybe time to resign from Hx and concentrate on the really important stuff aha

Congratulations to you all

Well while I had exams I didn't do anything here . But can never motivate myself to revise no matter what lol. But yeah, glad I still got the place !

Well done to everyone .

Congratulations to everyone! It's so good when you see your conditional offer change to unconditional !

Well done to all who passed.

First year of university is so much easier than A Levels, and for most courses first year doesn't count - it's essentially a year off.

Sadly, this is true, but hopefully when you realise you didn't do as well as you would have liked in your first year, you'll realise that it does eventually get harder than A-Levels

From what I can tell, the modules are automatically juggled between the two qualifications to maximise grades first and then maximises UMS points for Maths over Further Maths.

Yup, this is right. If this wasn't in place, I would never have got my A in Maths Would have been left with B/B.

Depending on what course you are doing. I wish my first year was easy, I only just finished today

Well done guys!

I thought my whole university degree was easy. Defo think they should make it harder! although it could have just been because I went to a crap uni.

I remember overhearing my university lecturer talking about the student's performances and saying "oh the student's didn't do well here last year so we're going to change that to make it easier for them".. and no doubt this would happen every couple of years.

Sadly it's all about success, retention rates and £ now.

So pleased with them maths isn't great but I was barely expecting a pass so I'm still happy
