    there's always been dodgy marking.

    i did my media studies a level in 1999, and on results day i got a D.

    my teacher said she'd be very surprised if that was right, cause she'd given me 39/40 for my coursework, which made up something like 40% of the final grade.

    so i had it remarked. turns out they forgot to write down the mark for one of my papers. and gave me 0 for that paper. :eek2: so i ended up with an A. yay me.

    same here but it is worse because you can really see if you fail you are literally buggered! although AS is not that bad i failed last year, you still have time to pull things around although i hav not pulled things around and have failed!!! :(

    Devil - stop posting and thinking about it now! :p

    Think about something nice like:

    ice-cream, attractive men, butterflies, kittens, puppies, ex boyfriends being humiliated, tiger cubs, sunsets, tropical paradise....

    You see nice mental image rather than an envelope. :D

    Alternatively I could crush up some kalms and dilute them, attach you to a drip and feed it through.

    Thursday for me. I couldn't give two craps to be honest! No amount of worrying is goin' to change how well I performed...

    I wasn't worried at GCSE becuase I know I did well in them all (then the results were better then expected :)). I wasn't worried at AS because I knew I'd done badly in some and well in some and results were as expected.

    I'm worried now because I know I did well in one, I'm pretty sure I did well in my second, but don't have a clue about my third. Actually I think I did quite badly, but I'm not sure how badly.

    I'm mainly worried because there's only so much ass-kissing you can do to a uni before they need your results to be good enough.
    & I've managed to repress everything up until now so it's all coming out at once.

    I'm going to get drunk afterwards anyway; it's my friend's birthday on results day (poor guy).

    Ok calm down folks. Getting your result isn't that big a deal. I didn't get the grades I needed but I still got in at my first choice. Uni's if they've offered you a place and like what they've seen from your references etc will let you off being a few grades lower etc. Or a lot of the time they will. It's like me going back this year. Out of the 6 I applied to only 2 of them I actually had the grades for. I still got accepted at all 6 places. The offers they give aren't stuck solid ok. So don't worry too much.

    Anyways as has been said. You've done the exams, there's nothing you can do about it now, unfortunately in my case I have to say. I was predicted straight A's and came out with a b and 3 c's, that should tell ya how little work I did for my A-levels ;)

    Thats my theory. Whats done is done, so no point in really worrying about it. Tho my Uni sent me a thing this morning saying
    "What to do if u dont get your grades"
    and I'm wondering wether to take that as an omen or not!

    Ah well, by this time tomorrow we'll know :nervous:

    I didn't worry about GCSEs as i knew i'd done quite well, but this year i am not confident at all. You can't worry too much though as you can't change things now. And Elysium Unknown, i thought you were a bloke!

    I do have to worry because my only choice is Leeds - the most popular uni in the country, to do English - one of the most popular courses. Basically if you don't get the grades you're not in and they told us that. Not it's not the end of the world - but if I have to re-sit I will actually have a nervious break-down.

    Kazbo - I'm predicted 3As and what you said is not instilling any confidence in me! :(

    And, no, I am female. :|

    Only 17 and a half hours *panics*

    Is anyone else in a reeeaaaallllyyyyy bad mood today?

    Ah I was just a silly fool and liked boys and sex way too much at my a level time... (actually what changes?) I sat in my room pretending to revise and thats about all I did for my exams. But hey what other silly fool does Combined English, Maths with mechanics, further maths, religious studies and general studies? I deserved to do badly for making the time tabling near enough impossible hehe. Oh yeah I failed the further maths...was great when I was going uni to do maths ;)
