Advice on A-Level Results

I collected my A level results 2 days ago, and the lead up to it was the most horrendous and worrying time of my life so far. For me, so much hung on how well I did; my happiness, my university place, my pride and the expecations of others. After feeling I'd had some awful examinations I was not expecting the best! But thankfully for me, I did well and got into my University of choice; Bristol with three As. Everyone takes results day differently, but for each path there is always advice that can be offered. 1. Check Track UCAS now offers a service where students are able to check 'track' to see whether they have made it into their firm or ...  Read the complete review

The end of August tis the season for student distress! The A level results day is always on a thursday mid august, and all of us lucky enough to be attending it will be used to having results day, but that doesn't help people who are prone to nerves. There are various ways you can deal with results day; 1. try and log on to UCAS early in the morning to see what your status is- this could be a really good thing or REALLY bad (if you see you have not made the grades) 2. be a lone ranger- go in to school/college when few other people are there, get the envelope and go open it somewhere private- this can be a bit lonely and seems to me a bit ...  Read the complete review

The most nerve wracking day of the year for 17/18 year olds is the day your A level results come out. At 8.30 that day, I was standing by the front door, waiting for my mother to drive me to college to collect them. (I had been up since 5, checking my university status on UCAS track, but that's beside the point! It's still terrifying).

A levels are the pinnacle of your school career the time when all of your dreams of university life can come true – or not as was my case. Let me take you back to the heady days of 1995, Blur had just beaten Oasis to number 1 in the chart race of the century and I was looking forward to my future university career with the kind of flippancy that only an 18 year old can.

URGH. The thought of my A-Level result’s eve! ARGH! Horrid! But if you have ever experienced this then you’ll know that the morning of the results is even worse! And it doesn’t end there; when you get to university you have… more exams! And us students at university are going through the same kind of nerves that A-level students are going through now, although...umm ours don’t ultimately decide what we’re going to do for the rest of our life! So I was inspired to write this op now, before August because I (amongst loads of other uni students) am awaiting exam results – horrid horrid horrid exam results! For ...  Read the complete review
