A Level Results 2015

[That Girl in the 'Roo Suit]

Congratulations to all those who received their AS and A2 results on Thursday! (I know it's belated; I've been busy training)

How did you all do? Where is your next big adventure taking you?!

[not chloe]

So I got a B in English Language, B in Media and a C in Literature

My offer was 300 points but I only got 280 and still got the place!

In September I'm off to University of Gloucestershire to do English Language and Crative Writing & will be living in Cheltenham (aka my favourite place in the UK) And I can't wait!

(C'grats in advance to very one else who posts here you're all fantastic & fully deserving of good grades x)

Just popping in to congratulate everyone, as I have no results like this to post.

 Phography - B
Religious Studies - B
Sociology - C

I needed 300 points and my place wasn't confirmed until the day after results so it didn't really hit home that I would be studying Psychology in Swansea University in September. It's just a matter of waiting until next Thursday in the hopes that I've finally gotten a GCSE in maths.

It's nice to mostly get B grades when you've been a C grade student for as long as you can remember  :')

Well done to everyone else! It's weird that the majority of us here are going to university/have a family/are working when most of us came here as kids.

Well done! If you need a hand with anything in Swansea, let me know as I'm pretty central!

You can get them in English and Welsh from the on-campus shop =] Don't splash out too quickly though, societies will often also have their own hoodies (I've had like 3 from Ancient Studies and an Egyptology one)

And Molly that's fantastic So much science there too, I could not do that!

Already posted these, but may as well put them in the proper thread. These are AS levels, so no A*s yet haha

Maths - A
Physics - A
Politics - C (we don't talk about this one xD Tbf I was pleasantly surprised with this still xD)
Law - A (Idk how, LA2 was the worst exam ever and I got 91%)

Really really happy with these, prior to results day I was annoyed with myself for being lazy with revision and stuff, but now I know I can realistically get 3 A*s it's going to be all revision next year to get them ^_^

*walks into thread solemnly*

English Lit: E
Psychology: U
Law: E

...I'll be honest, I have no clue how I failed Psychology at all. I came out of the exam feeling confident I had at least a D in both papers, but a U? Oh heck no. I knew Law wasn't going to be too good but again, an E was like, not even on my mind. I got a B in English Lit coursework, so...that was how I dodged the U I guess.

I just feel really upset by that because I was one year away from Uni, but now I'm back to 2 years. I am behind everyone I was on good terms with last year and that means no friends as per usual for next year. And also I was going through hell when the exams happened (hey, shoutout to those idiots who thought bullying me was fun during all the exam stress!), so it just feels like I had an ass of a hand dealt to me.

I'm restarting AS, but I can't choose Law and I don't know what's going on with Psychology. I'll have to find something I guess.

Oh, cool! How do you join societies? Do you just donate to them? I don't think it was ever mentioned during the applicant day

You could always try sociology if you can't do psychology or law next year? Sociology is fairly similar from what I heard the girls in class saying. It depends on how open minded you are, though, since you'll be going into functionalism, Marxism, postmodernism, and feminism.

About a month ago I would say?

Rock up at Fresher's Fayre, which I think is the 22/23rd this year? There's basically loads of booths there with all the societies and you can sign up there. You have to pay membership fees, but a lot of them don't need it up front. (Ancient Studies and Egyptology societies charge about £2/3, and you can sign up to register interest first and pay when you start meetings... Because I totally have not been part of them...)

I would recommend you go there mind, there's loads of businesses too that always give out free stuff, so go early.

[Kerou 犠牲]

You can get free pizza too (or at least a leaflet that will let you get free pizza). That's always a perk! =]

Just don't go to it hungover, because if it's a massive tent then it will feel like absolute death.

[Pam-the-Lamb]

 I'll definitely turn up to Freshers Fayre if freebies are on offer! I can't hit Wind Street so hangovers aren't going to be a problem aha.

It already sounds fun! Are the societies all based on the degrees that can be studied though? Sorry for asking so many questions :0

[That Girl in the 'Roo Suit]

Not all, no. There are also all the sports societies, and there's some religious societies, language societies and gaming societies too =] (We also have a role playing society, Hogwarts (which has its own Quidditch team), Disney, reenactment etc)
