I think in this country, to get into some univerities now because so many people are getting A's at A-level (I think someone said it's about 25% getting As), and with no-way to determine a borderline A (a 480/600) between a high A (say 590/600), it's getting harder, you need to do an entry exam, so they know what your skills are.

 

Although with the new A-level system which is planned for a couple years time, I read you have to do a 5000 word essay on somestuff which is marked and counts towards your final grade, and the uni gets to see that essay. But 5000 words, I only had to do a 4000 word report for my AAT Unit 10, although I had to use formal business language.

Less than 10 minutes to wait.

 

I'm getting nervous

you'll do fine!!!!

Hopefully.

 

It's a case of waiting for the site not to be so busy to log in and see the results.

 

Soon most exam results will be given out over the internet.

yeah, you can check your SAT scores online, but they dont do AP like that. yet.

 

and the new SAT requires an essay you have to write in 25 minutes about a random topic that you've never heard about. Like "do you agree with the philosophical and logical reasoning of why stonewall jackson attacked so and so army on so and so date?"

I would be crap at that.

 

I'm in.

you are? congrats!! ;)

 

let's see if i can do the same :uhoh:

I got bad news :(

For some reason they are successful/unsuccessful in passing the exam. Not Pass/Fail, no Grades, no scores. Pass mark of between 70 and 85%.

i wish our tests were graded like that. but nooo, everything has to be numbered. grrr.

 

speaking of tests, my school starts tomorrow.:angry: :sad: :cry:

Poor you :(

wow! good job :)

 

i wonder when my results will be published, maybe i should check if they already have been.

Here it's numbered :confused: I hope i do well.... i dont wanna have to retake some of the tests

exam results make people go crazy :surprised:

There will be tears of joy and sadness tomorrow when the a-level results come out, as teenagers who have been studying for the past 2 years await for their results.

 

Tears of joy as people did better than they expected, but tears of sadness as they don't do as well as they had hoped for.

Omg.....soon I'll know what you mean...I'm going to take my a-levels in January next year....

exam results make people go crazy :surprised:

exam results and MARKS make the people crazy.....:D

lalala....school starts again on tuesday and I haven't got my grades yet :thinking:

i feel so weird...

 

first time in all my life when the 1st of september means nothing to me (the date in which school starts here)

 

i dont think i'll realise i finished school until september comes and all the younger ppl will go to school, and i'll be at home, and in london and hopefully china too :):)

 

feels sooooo good

the A levels are coming out today at midnight , does anyone know how to get them off the internet? I don't want to go to school to get them,

I believe edexcel were running a trial this year for exam results by website, but that was only a selected number.

 

So either you got to go to school or hand in a SAE to get them posted to you. In a couple years time though it will be internet.

how did everybody do?

 

I got 4 As!! I am sooo happy, I got my place at Uni secured :-D

Well done :)

 

I managed a D for my a-level and a C for my AS. Overshadowed by my A's for Maths and Accounts and B's for Physics (3 fucking marks off an A :() and Further Maths which are overshadowed by my AAT results.
