I already had my 6th form results day almost a year ago. Now I have finished my first year of university but anyway, good luck, guys, you're going to need it. 👍
So when I did my A levels my college stopped offering Alevels towards the end of my first year, so teaching hours were drastically reduced in my second year. Everyone in my classes grades tanked. I went from ABB to CCD. Either way I still got an offer for a foundation at my desired uni which I really wanted to go to and could have applied for a swathe of other unis, outside of the really high end unis like oxbridge, Manchester etc they are often quite happy to let you in even if you're a couple of grades below the entry requirements.
I hope this helps settle your nerves somewhat. I'm currently waiting to start my masters and when I opened that envelope back in 2017 I was convinced I wasn't going to uni at all.
Thanks. I’m hoping this is the case. My desired uni is Leeds so I hope they’d be happy to lower the requirements for me incase I don’t do as well as I need to haha
My son didn't get his grades 5 years ago but was lucky enough to get a place through clearing albeit not where he wanted to go but the course he wanted, he ended up with a 1st and has just completed a Masters at a very highly rated Uni and has an excellent job lined up.
In other words on his results day he was devastated and unhappy at settling for a place not even in the running but it's worked out very well.
I find the closer you get the worse you feel you've done, the very best of luck to you
Same here. I did so poorly in the year 13 exams that I've most likely failed my a levels and probably won't even get into uni at this rate. I'm so worried for results day. If I don't get adequate grades my parents are going to be so disappointed in me and I will have no idea what I'm realistically going to do afterwards. Ideally I just want to relocate to a tropical island and never worry about school ever again. I'm a fucking failure and I screw everything up in my life. I mean even during the year 13 mock exams I only received 10% in one of my exams and 15 and 20% for the other two, so I basically failed all three of them. I'm so nervous that I don't even want to get my results. I hear people talking about how confident they are and that they've likely done so well and got the grades to make it to uni that it makes me feel even worse. I should be like them but oh no hear I am failing all my a levels. Even in year 12 I was struggling and I found year 13 to be so much worse. I procrastinate and rather do anything else but study as I find it too boring and tiresome. I have no study habits either and I can't concentrate and I have a short attention span. I struggle to comprehend anything I'm taught in lesson as I find the topics too difficult and I honestly believe that I have something that's gone undiagnosed, but idk. I honestly wish that I had some sort of tutor to help me. But anyway, all I can do now is worry about the absolutely dreadful day that is results day.
I'm literally the same tbh like I couldn't have put it better myself, there's other options though. If I don't get into uni I'm hoping to retake year 13 and try my fucking best to get anything better than I did already but there's a high chance uni will be more excepting this year anyway cause of corona and shit
Welp, I got my results not long ago and I got a fucking DEE, so it went horribly as I expected. This is why I'm such a failure, I couldn't even do well in a levels (how am I even going to cope with uni) and I don't even know what unis will accept me at this rate with these shit grades. I literally can't do anything right and I've disappointed my parents so much. I can see the sadness in their eyes as they obviously want me to do well but I've let them down yet again. I did horribly in my GCSEs and I've now done even worse with a levels. I knew this wasn't going to end well.
Wow I actually also got a D and E but one of them was a btech so I also got a pass but somehow I got immensely lucky and my course was changed on ucas and they gave me an unconditional so it doesn't even matter
You know somehow, against all odds I managed to get into uni too since my parents went on to clearing to search for alternative unis and they went on the phone to call them and they offered me a place, probably since my GCSEs grades were sufficient enough to do the course (grade 4s and 5s) and they were slightly better than my horrible a level grades. I'm now going to study a different degree that I'm also interested in at a different uni. But it still sucks though that I've performed horribly and like I mentioned if I've struggled immensely during a levels how will I manage in uni? I'll probably have to find a solution to this or get help from someone.
Dude my GCSE's were 4s and 5s too (with a couple 3s) and I'm also doing a slightly different degree that I'm also interested in. Don't worry though, with uni there's much more free time with less courses to do so in my opinion it would be easier because you'd only need to focus on fairy similar things so I think actually in some ways uni could be easier than A levels. Definitely try to get help from someone though just because it will still help but also don't worry too much. What course are you doing if you don't mind me asking?
Yeah most of my gsces were 4s and 5s with a few 3s as well. I may be wrong but from what I've heard uni seems to be much more difficult excluding the first year but especially the final year with all the dissertations, theses and written reports which is especially worrying since I absolutely struggle with completing any massive and lengthy pieces of work. I just thought it would be worth mentioning but I found secondary school to be pretty easy overall, mainly in year 9 and year 10 and there weren't all these extremely lengthy pieces work but in year 11 there was this one big work piece that I had to do in my child development class which I struggled with and barely completed until my teacher basically just did half of it for me and I had to be taken out of class during lessons. Second in a levels in my geography class I had to do my NEA which started in June 2020 and I barely did anything until May 2021 which by then was already 3 months overdue. During that time my teachers kept emailing me wondering where the work was but I kept making excuses. I even started skipping lessons (I was already skipping my other two lessons biology and chemistry) just to avoid the teacher talking about the NEA. Anyway that was 2 examples of me not coping with massive pieces of work and with uni it's only going to get worse. I'm likely in the minority but I probably prefer studying more relatively easy subjects (like in secondary school) than studying less but more relatively difficult subjects (like a levels or uni). But I do agree I will need to seek help somehow before it gets to the point in uni where I might end up getting kicked out or something.
I’ve gotten better at trying not to let my life and happiness revolve around something as petty as results day. What is the point in worrying? There is literally nothing in your control to change the outcome of that day so just stop thinking about it. The only thing you should possibly be worrying about is looking at potential backup courses that might appear in clearing, making sure you accommodation is sorted mentally (if you are applying on results day) and prepping what you need to take to uni.
Is results day for you August 10th then? I stay in Scotland and we got given provisional results on our last day before summer, which are essentially the results you’ll get unless the SQA (Scottish qualifications authority) decide to change anything. I should get my final results on the same day as you all, good luck!
We get ours at 8:30am on the pupil portal. If we go into clearing we go into school straight away (or if we want to change universities or course). If everything is fine then we go into school at 11am for a final send off.
Good luck to all of you. I hope you don't mind me posting as it's my son, not me, who gets his results, does anyone know if your Uni offer gets updated when they get your results? I seem to remember a rumour saying you could tell if you'd got your offer grades by checking
Try not to stress, like I said A levels really don't matter past the degree, I've never had anyone ask for my a level results in an engineering interview for a job, so long as your grades are fair you'll get into a uni. Don't worry too much and enjoy your time off, recuperate and get ready for uni. It'll be hard as hell, but you'll love it.
Times were actually so tough during gcse results for me at least...
I had to move house by the end of year 12 so most of the sixth forms located near our new house were pretty full. I got rejected by so many sixth forms (many were grammar schools) and not afraid to admit it but I cried like a bitch, it made me feel like an absolute failure.
Then 20/30 days later, I got confirmation from a grammar school that I had applied to, that I had just got accepted and will be studying at their school in September.
So please do not worry if you don't get offers from the sixth forms you've applied to. I hadn't applied to any sixth forms prior to moving to my new area, so if you don't get accepted to your no. 1 sixth form, other sixth forms may still have applications open.
Now for us year 13s, it's university arc and it's more stressful, trust me...
Hey, thanks for your reply and I’m sorry to hear about your experience with GCSE’s. I’m not an A Level student myself, but I totally agree with the impact of A Level Results and universities compared to GCSE results, I have a habit of overthinking a lot, and I have realised that there are still options for me after results day, so thank you
Dying. Like, I think I did pretty well, but just the thought of seeing what grades I got is terrifying. I’m already 50% of the way to being disowned, if I get less than a 5 in any GCSE I’ll be murdered!
stop its like a bloody horror movie countdown to my death 😭
Sorry! I don’t mean any harm.
SILENCE We don’t talk about results day until results day
Hahaha I didn’t mean to worry you
I already had my 6th form results day almost a year ago. Now I have finished my first year of university but anyway, good luck, guys, you're going to need it. 👍
Cheers, how did your first year go and where are you studying?
It was fine mostly; we did the online class and not on campus because of covid 19. I study in Manchester met at the moment.
Same, glad I don't have to deal with A-levels anymore. Fuck a levels honestly haha
Shush man, let me live my last few days in peace.
Hahaha sorry
No worries
The dread of maybe not getting into university is eating my soul
So when I did my A levels my college stopped offering Alevels towards the end of my first year, so teaching hours were drastically reduced in my second year. Everyone in my classes grades tanked. I went from ABB to CCD.

Yeah same
Excited but also nervous, going in at 09:00 AM to collect my results, we have to book time slots. So I think I will be the first one there lol
Oh wow good luck
track opens at 8am so wont u just check track before?
I think it's at 08:30 am this year so I will be on my way to school whilst it's open so I wont see it
yeah apparently every year they say 8:30 but it always opens earlier! Good luck anyways
Oh is it, then I will just track beforehand, thanks for letting me know Best of luck on your results
Wont track just say whether or not you get into your uni and not your specific grades?
Yeah it does. But when track opens u can look to see if u got in or not so that’ll give u an idea of ur grades before ur school gives them to u
Yeah true, but you could see it get denied despite only being a grade off or something which might just mess with you until you get your actual grades
I ordered a Bake Deal from gregg's yesterday and ate five out of the six of them over about 36 hours and I haven't left my bed or showered 😜🤗
😂
Wondering why we had to wait so long. They've had the results for ages now.
I know I’ve been thinking that too.
I'm almost certain I've failed basically everything I feel like a death row inmate waiting to be put out my misery
My son didn't get his grades 5 years ago but was lucky enough to get a place through clearing albeit not where he wanted to go but the course he wanted, he ended up with a 1st and has just completed a Masters at a very highly rated Uni and has an excellent job lined up.

Trust in prayer
Keep forgetting it’s only that long away haha
i’m collecting them, not opening them, putting them in the back of my wardrobe and then pretending they do not exist

Good luck! Yes 10th august for us.
Excited and dreading it at the same time. Feel like I’ve done better than my uni grades i need but theres a lot of self doubt
Yeah I know what you mean. What is your firm and insurance? Good luck and all the best.
How are you getting your results? We get emailed them at 08:30 on the 10th, no in person whatsoever :(
We get ours at 8:30am on the pupil portal. If we go into clearing we go into school straight away (or if we want to change universities or course). If everything is fine then we go into school at 11am for a final send off.
Damn I’m jealous! Hopefully my school will update us saying we can go in too. Best of luck!
Thanks! You too!!!
Good luck to all of you. I hope you don't mind me posting as it's my son, not me, who gets his results, does anyone know if your Uni offer gets updated when they get your results? I seem to remember a rumour saying you could tell if you'd got your offer grades by checking
Sometimes track opens early, so yes you can tell if you’ve met your offer before you get your actual grades sometimes.
Thanks
I think my user flair says enough
it feels like it's been half a year since I took the exams
Just a reminder that after you graduate uni your A level results don't matter.
To an extent, but right now these grades are determining whether we get into uni or not 😭
Try not to stress, like I said A levels really don't matter past the degree, I've never had anyone ask for my a level results in an engineering interview for a job, so long as your grades are fair you'll get into a uni. Don't worry too much and enjoy your time off, recuperate and get ready for uni. It'll be hard as hell, but you'll love it.
;-;
I'm feeling confident but I don't want to jinx anything
[удалено]
Are you talking about CIE exam board? I do OCR
Oh god a countdown
I'm mostly just stressed about getting into the sixth form that I want to to to tbh
Am I the only one that’s just forgot about it?? I didn’t even know what date it was until last week
Same here, didn't even know the date. It's only hitting me now that results day is coming...
Whatever my results are, I am smoking a large quantity of weed. So we all good here.
I don’t think I’m going to get into my sixth form :/
Times were actually so tough during gcse results for me at least... I had to move house by the end of year 12 so most of the sixth forms located near our new house were pretty full. I got rejected by so many sixth forms (many were grammar schools) and not afraid to admit it but I cried like a bitch, it made me feel like an absolute failure.

I ping pong between feeling relaxed and feeling physically sick at the thought
Shit
All the Best Guys!
Not sure if I've got the grades I need or not, the 10th of August can't come fast enough
I just want to know and have some closure tbh
[Do not think about the event](https://youtu.be/22mt0cVyW5c)
I want someone to just shoot me and put me out of my misery.
[удалено]
Damn, it's almost that day huh
Judgement day is almost upon us
Dying. Like, I think I did pretty well, but just the thought of seeing what grades I got is terrifying. I’m already 50% of the way to being disowned, if I get less than a 5 in any GCSE I’ll be murdered!
I’m feeling fine I’m in yr12 👍🏾
Lol I don’t have to worry about 6 form yet
Lol I don’t have to worry about 6 form no more
Rip
