Simpson Posted August 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 Not really..Yea really lol, if i get these grade the next 3 years of my life will be studying advanced mathmatics, and if I don't I'll never have to look at any equations for the rest of my life. To make Dave feel better I need 240 UCAS points, the points scheme breaks down like thisA - 120B - 100C- 80D - 60E - 40U- 0I have a D in AS chem, which is half points so thats 30 points, and I did 4 A-levels, Genral Studys (which for my Uni counts as half UCAS points for whatever your grade is) And then Psycology, Business Studies and Mathmatics. Which I'm predicted ABB in so should be reet nothings ever guarenteed though because I've already passed business and sike, but had only done 3 of my maths modules, so i had to do 3 of them in the summer which was pretty intense.

monkeyseemonkeydo Posted August 19, 2009 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 Considering the way A level and GCSE pass grades have been improving in recent years, I don't reckon there's much any of you have to worry about... I'm guessing 102% of candidates will receive an A*-C grade this year. Edit: Followed closely by a marking scandal in which a 5 year old who's watched the Simpsons points out that it's impossible for more than 100% of candidates to pass at which point the universe may implode.Edit 2: Ok, so what do you have to do to get a 'U' grade? Is that if you only write your name on the paper but spell it wrong?Edit 3: Good luck peeps . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Metcalfe Posted August 19, 2009 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 I was sort've lucky with mine,I knew I didn't want to go to UNI, so I got a job instead, until I know what I wanted to do,It's good because I'm able to relax, My results aren't super mega hugely important,But I'd like to not have wasted 2 years of my life.Good luck to everyone, and hope everyone recieves what they deserve, for AS and A-levels, And for GCSE's next week.At the end of the day you get what you put in,You work you're ass off, you get rewarded,If you don't, you go on the dole.
