Well done everyone who got what they needed. Uni will be amazing.

To those who didn't, don't panic or feel down (easier said than done) but there are plenty of options including clearing.

I do not miss the stress of school exam results day at uni you can tell what sort of grade you're in for because of how the course is marked (well, that's how it is for me at any rate) but school you've literally no idea because it all rests on the exam...

For my AS results I got

A - Sociology
B - English Lang & Lit
B - Politics
C - Psychology

I'm happy with my results, I worked really really hard for them. I'm shocked at Psychology though because I revised a LOT for that and actually enjoyed it, never thought I'd end up dropping it #awksitch

8 AS exams starting a month today /cry

There's way too much to learn, curse the government for removing January exams.

Have they really?

Not a good move imo, leaves the inability to resit a Jan exam in June and like you said, thats a hell of a lot of content to learn for 1 exam period!

Yes

No more January exams so we have two exams for all four subjects in May, and any resists have to be done next June on top of all the A2 exams in each subject. It's really frustrating but I'm just happy I wasn't born two years later because from September 2015 they're going linear with them all being at the end of A2 with no more AS exams.

I know so many people in that situation, thankfully I don't have to retake anything and since English doesn't require revision I only have two subjects to deal with

I don't think I'm ready for uni though, I'm not comfortable with the idea that after three years it's time for the real world . It's way too soon :/ I think I really just need an extra year, not a gap year as I'd hate one whole year of doing nothing, an extra year of college. So yeah in the back of my mind I'm secretly hoping to fail.. lol

You can take a gap year and travel, that is not doing nothing.

I said I wasn't ready for uni and took a year off...and then I never ended up going, kept putting it off. I'd advise you going as soon as possible unless you have something set in stone that you're going to do for a gap year

Did you not defer before taking a gap year, Nathan?

No I just left with quite terrible results and sort of put off doing anything about it. Never really knew what I wanted to do at uni/wasn't ready to leave home

My 6th form was terrible with helping me too. Should have gone to a college instead of staying at school 6th

I'm the perfect pin up for "this is what happens if you don't try hard in 6th form/don't sort your UCAS out/decide what course you want to do and where you want to go"
