Thought I would thread this since I just finished my AS exams.

Results Day Dates: 6 July 2015 (IB), 13 August 2015 (A-Levels) and 20 August 2015 (GCSEs)

How did your exams go? What grades are you hoping for in August? Are you going to uni/sixth form? Are you going into school to get your results or are you getting them online?

Oop good luck everybody. If you don't do well, don't worry about it, because it isn't the end of the world and it hardly means anything, trust me

Enjoy your summers

How did your exams go? absolute FLOP

What grades are you hoping for in August? praying i get an A* in history and an A in psychology and at least a B in biology (which won't happen seeing how wednesday went )

Are you going to uni/sixth form? already finished!!

Are you going into school to get your results or are you getting them online? going into school to get scalped

How did your exams go?
English Literature and Language (I do A Levels) went AMAZING, I worked my ass off because I'm really passionate about English and I loved the books we studied (Streetcar Named Desire, All My Sons + Property). My teachers analysed and did a question on the topic that came up and uploaded it months before and I looked at the answers the day before the exam I also typed up the 87 English terminologies and definition from memory
Film Studies was okay, although the questions could've been better. It's film though and I got an A for my film and a B for my coursework so it's all good.
History was a ****ing mess. I was making up historians quotes and sources and events. The timing was a mess. My other factors I bought in was a mess. Oh God, it was a hot mess. I can't do source questions also. I legit think I'm going to fail.
What grades are you hoping for in August?
I really want BBC but I think I'm going to get BCD/E. History ****ed everything up for me. **** history. Why the **** did I pick history.
Are you going to uni/sixth form?
I'm going to university (outside London. It's too expensive) and I plan to study criminology & law!
Are you going into school to get your results or are you getting them online?
I plan to go with my friends to school but if they're running late, I'm leaving them

omg history which topics did you do? because my school's topics are such a flop

Same I was just name-dropping random historians and making up quotes. I got away with making up quotes in English Lit last year so hopefully everything will be fine.

are you an AS student or A2 and OMG WHAT EXAM BOARD?

and slay i was going to do law too but i changed my mind last minute and i'm on ucas extra now

i'm in a2 and i did international relations from 1945-2004 on AQA

my history exam was literally just description which is so disappointing

but i'm kind of confident because all i need for an A is 40/90 because of my coursework hihi but 74/90 for an A*

I legit hope it works. This guy who finished A Levels was like, 'Imagine you're an examiner. And you're marking exams. And you see a quote. A historian quote. You're not going to check up if the quote is the legit since examiners have hundreds of papers to mark under timed conditions. You're not going to check up on statistics too.' He ********ted in history and got a B. I'm legit praying for a miracle. It was just a mess I hope everything is fine for you too


I'm AS and you?
And AQA for English Lit/Lang, Edexcel (**** edexcel) for History + WJEC for Film
And what is UCAS extra? I have so much to learn What do you plan to do now?

Omg another IB kid? I've been searching for one on ATRL for ages. What was your subject package?

+1

I flopped hard during my GCSEs but I'm a band 3 in the NHS 5 years later :-)

oh i just did a2! and ucas extra is basically the process when either:

a) you haven't got any offers back
b) you reject all your offers because you've had a change of heart (my case)

so it's basically the UCAS process all over where you apply with a personal statement and reference etc! but there are obviously less uni choices as most of them have been taken up

I did AS and the two modules were England from 1603 - 1649 and France from 1661 - 1715 . Also I have no coursework at all for both years . My exams were okay, but the topics were unexpected. Glad your coursework went well though! Hope you get your A*!

omg i wish we did something cool and old like that

i did civil rights at AS which was great but then i also did britain from 1815-65 which was a bore

and no way! that sucks! courseworks are so much fun and thank you sis i hope you get an A in history

Results in AUGUST? poor Brits.

Thanks and same to you! I think that guy was right about examiners not checking quotes and stats, especially since in all the practice essays this year I just made up the historiography crap and my teacher ticked it all (even though she only had like 8 essays to mark)

it's a struggle

strong britney!

I'm dreading it tbh, I know I ****ed up.

Hopefully I do better in A2.

Civil rights sounds cool but that British module . Sounds like it was entirely political history. But yeah, learning a gazillion different wars was not fun for the France module and the England module sucked (especially the English Civil War and execution of Charles I, by which point in the course I was dying).

I'm sure you'll get your A* though!
