"AS/A levels - hanging yourself or basking in glory?"

Well,

I looked on the sites and no one seems to have posted a thread yet!

How did you do? Feel like killing yourself twice over? Or are you swimming in victory?

I am mixed.

My AS results were a little various you see. At sixth form I was stuffed and I couldnt take the subjects I really wanted to do - I did do eng lit/lang and Drama YAY :P but spanish and psychology I was kinda pushed into doing as ones I really wanted to do clashed with the others

Eng lil/lang -- B!!!

Theatre Studies -- B!! (TWO POINTS OFF AN A!!)

General Studies x 2 -- C and another C that was another TWO POINTS OFF A B!!

and here comes the bad bit

I was six marks off an E for spanish so i got U and I got a E in psycho :(

Doesnt matter I can catch up and do better but I was disheartened as I tried so very hard at spanish and everyone in my class flopped

How did you do? How you feel?
Congrats to those A level students getting the grades to go uni!

Well done LG :)

Who cares if ya got an E - It's a passing grade!

*shakes fist at GCSE results being a week later*

Waiting sucks.

Thats very true.

Thankyou - very much.

Lil Ginge, just ignore idiots like Blank, he obviously lacks any sense of compassion. As long as YOU feel that you tried your hardest, that is all that matters. I was not all that nervous this morning because I knew that I had done all that I possibly could and the results were what I deserved.

Good luck for the future Ginge!

Blank- you obviously have some sort of superiority complex. Why don't you put your efforts into trying to sort that out before you attempt to deride and belittle the attempts of others to make something of themselves?

believe me I kow the feeling.

I couldnt do the subjects I was best at at sixth form so took to (that I did worse in) coz others clshed.

The spanish I tried sooo hard and absolutely love. Thing is I am good at the speaking. I am better at actually speaking the language and communicating it than the others that did better. Its weird but strangely true, its the exam system i coudnt hack. Which led to me failing something I can do well in. :(

I can re sit it.

Yes, you got a course. Some probably didnt and doesn't mean you will do any worse. Sometimes things go better when there not as you expect. You will be fine

Im just a bit disappointed because it was my third attempt at the exams and I thought I'd done better. At least I've got a course I suppose. I'm looking forward to it now.

You might be able to spread your wings there.

In the end you will be doing the one subject you most like - have no strain of others and I hate to break it to ultimate boffins. I know so many people that are rolling it in and didnt have great grades, when there are loads that have done and are still looking for jobs.

If you are confident and hard working honestly you be fine

My results weren't great, but I'll get into college with them, even if it is going to be my 4th choice course. :(
