shall I send the chopper?



snap eeeeeek and I feel sick and dizzy and icky and my tummy is churning

Argh Its not good, I am so scared.
What time do you get your results?

Getting slightly more nervous now for my AS results. The downside is that I'm not allowed to collect my results until 2pm, although I can check my Music Tech result online...

2!

And I though having to wait until 12.30 was bad enough!

Please send the chopper!

2! That's awful

A2 results are at 11am, AS results at 2pm...

Car Expert

9.30 unless I look on track beforehand which is unlikely you?

On it's way Nic Nic

Blimey mine are really early compared to everyone else!!

A Level is 10.30 for us

I think I could get mine at 11...seemed long enough!

11 hours to go

I got into York!

Well done Lucky


Under an hour

Oh, brilliant! I'm so pleased for you - after all that worry! Now you can enjoy your break in Ireland.

Son got his 5 A's but didn't get the STEP grades he needed (bit of a surprise, as he thought he had done well on the paper he went down on) so looks like he will be going to Durham. Cambridge have said they will defer the offer if he wants to re-do STEP next year, but it's a big change of plan to suddenly have a gap year, and still wouldn't guarantee he'd do well enough - he's thinking about it though.

Hope everyone is out from under the stone now and that the results weren't too bad!

The stone, what a good idea.

Congratulations to your son on his 5As!

If it was me, I'd think I'd take the deferred offer and have a gap year.

5A's is fantastic! Shame about the STEP. My friend also got 5A's but didn't get the STEP grades....it really does seem silly that you can get AAAAAaa with most modules in maths being the high 90% and still not get in...

Thanks for your comments, Ben. Where will your friend be going?

I think there's far too big a gap between the end of Further Maths and the standard expected for STEP. Unless you're coached properly for it, only the very best get there - which is the idea! After all, it's the best Maths course in the country.

Sorry your own AS results weren't better, but at least it looks as if you didn't have to leave home after all!! Better luck with the resits.

He'll be off to Warwick Even if he did get in he was thinking about not going as he didn't think he would manage there, but he's happy to be going warwick as it won't be AS pressurised etc...

In regards to the big gap I agree! Especially as some people who do STEP II and III would have done FP1-3/4 as part as there Further maths, whereas other will have only done FP1 and 2 and more stats and mechanics...but not enough of either to be competent to tackle a mechanics or stats question.

im quite happy

Psychology AS- A
Theatre Studies AS-A
Spanish AS- B (but im re-sitting one paper cos it was sooo hard and let us all down)
Critical thinking AS- B (I was 5 marks off an A, might have it re-marked)
Biology AS- B (All my teachers thought I'd fail and im giving it up so i'm so happy!!)

Yay! It's great when you get the results you want! All the best for A2.

Well done everyone
what uni's are people off to?/what a-levels are people doing??
I'm doing psychology, spanish and theatre studies

For A2 i'm doing French, Spanish and Latin .... although i'm now thining twice about dropping music, as i got more UMS marks in that than in any of my other subjects. .....

Do what you like best

Well done everyone for A/AS levels

Two days til GCSEs

Does anyone know when people in Year 9 or 10 who've just sat Maths module exams for GCSE get our results or how we get them, I know we don't have to go in but our teacher said they might be posted to us or they might be kept till September....

I'm not sure, sorry. Maybe they are sent to you.

GOOD LUCK TO ALL THE GCSE PEOPLE
