Re: Results and resit
@Rose113 hey, well done on ur results! honestly as cringe as this sounds the best things to do in these situations is to go with ur gut, do u think you'd feel confident to resit another maths paper? you'd have quite a bit time to do some work on ur weaker areas for example paper 1 being ur lowest mark of all 3 u could spend more time getting confident with paper 1 topics alternatively u did well on paper 3 so u could work on boosting ur stronger areas even more! alternatively, if ur mum is happy to pay for a remark it is definitely worth seeing if you've had marks missed as there's lots of cases where ppl have got a higher mark after remarks. Overall, the best thing to do is making sure whatever u end up doing is what U want to do and what u feel happy doing !
Re: Preparing for uni
Im sorry to here you are feeling overwhelmed with how much you have to do before you start, try and remember a lot of those are a learning curve and an ongoing process throughout your time at uni ( im in my 3rd year and I still feel as though im learning to be independent and still can't cook lol 
). It's easy to feel like you need to have it all sorted and be fully independent before you start but you will grow and grow in independence throughout uni it might just take time to adjust.
Also, most university courses start from the basics as not everyone will have studied a level in the subject so try and not stress about what you have forgotten as you will likely be able to build on your knowledge in the first year. I know personally I didn't study psychology before university and found the vast majority of the content was covered at beginners level.
University is a great place to make friends, especially in the first couple of weeks/ months as everyone is in the same boat and looking to make friends, there is also such a diverse group of people with lots of different interests and lots of environments to mix with people.
If there is anything you want advice or reassurance about I am here for you and will help where I can

Re: Results Day - Support Thread and Support Chat!
@Rose113 you could always resit your exam too but as long as you feel ready and comfortable to resit it as well. Resitting your exam is a personal choice and you shouldn't feel pressured into resitting an exam if you don't want to. I'm always here too if you need any help with things .

Re: Results Day - Support Thread and Support Chat!
Good luck to everyone getting their results over the next week or so - remember whatever happens, you are so much more than your grades 
Re: Results Day - Support Thread and Support Chat!
I would like to wish everyone lots of luck for tomorrows results day, it can be an exciting but also nerve racking time. I also wanted to highlight that these results do not define your worth as a person and you are all so much more than your grades. Grades are not a true representation of your intelligence, potential or commitment they are indicators of how you performed in a specific set of circumstances. For those receiving their results tomorrow do something to make yourself happy and no matter the grades celebrate your hard work:)
