Finished my A-Levels in 2009. Only just starting my degree in september this year, which will take about 3 years. Wish I hadn't left it, I'd be heading into my final year.

Edit - Brad, just found myself hypnotised by your avatar then. I couldn't stop watching for some reason.

I'm Scottish so my qualifications are different but I finished sixth year in 2009 and have just finished my 2nd year of university, I'm going on a year abroad in September to teach English to German school pupils and then returning to complete two years of honours so will graduate in 2014. Or die mid way through my Junior Honours year if the world ends, damn.

Doing A2's now, will hopefully get AAB in English, History & Economics then I'm doing English & History at Uni next year. I kinda regret that choice now though and might see if I can change to either straight History or History & Politics.

Cant remember what I got at GCSE, think I got one A* in English lit, a couple of A's and then the rest B's pretty much

Cambridge huh? You sure you're talking of the University and not possibly the local pigeon club or something? I ask only due to your poor spelling, grammar, incorrect punctuation, and inability to correctly pose a question.

In answer to your OP:-

I'm doing my GCSE's atm, this is how they are predicted to come out:

(What I've already got in the bag)

OCR in ICT - Merit (equivalent to 2 A's and 2B's)

(Everything else)

English Lit - B
English Lang - B

I'm doing really well in my speaking and listening tests, so if I try really hard in the other exams I could get an A.

Maths - B
OCR in Science - Merit (equivalent to 2 B's)
OCR in Art & Design - Merit (equivalent to 2 B's)
Drama - B ( I think I could get a better grade though)
History - C
Media - B

And because of the English Baccalaureate, being noted to us halfway through the year, there was a bit of a kerfuffle with everyone changing about so they could be able to do it. Some people wanted to change to do a language and it was to much fuss, so they were thinking about doing it at sixth form, and i'm actually thinking about doing it.

When it comes to other subjects at sixth form I actually have no idea what I want to do, I was thinking about doing Photography, which I know I can do because I asked the teacher. I also want to do Psychology and Sociology, but who knows...I haven't actually decided if I want to stay at my school or just go to a college in my hometown. Time will tell, but i'm actually really excited.

I don't know if it all matters though, because i'm really desperate to become a model agent and apparantly that doesn't require any qualifications. I would wait to see the career adviser but I don't think he'll have the foggiest when it comes to being a model agent, so I might just phone up the company I want to work for and ask them about it.
