I had a place accepted at Uni, got better than the required A-levels but didn't bother going.
Screw the system!
With tuition fees on the rise, that may become the normal. You are an early adopting conformist. |

My a-levels were alright... but i'd got a trainee job so wasn't really that bothered. Got me into uni 8 years later when it is ruddy expensive and pretty much a waste of time going to uni. I make some excellent decisions, me.

This is all a few years ago now, but didn't get my first choice at the first attempt, but got two papers remarked (£60 each) and got the grades I needed then.
They both came back marked up by 20%, so what the fuck happened the first time I don't know- they refunded the money as it was so wildly out.

My son needed ABB and got BBB. Didn't get into first choice but got into insurance choice. Take what you can now Sugg, as next week may be too late.

Needed BBB and got ABB! Very happy! UCL here I come! Well done CF - that's a cracking set of results (and the same I got a full 9 years ago - I'm old). Incidentally, the girl I was with when we both went to uni went to UCL. In three months she went from being a lovely woman to being a complete cow. Not relevant, just thought I would mention it. Good uni though - well done. |

Thank-you! Needed CCC but got in with BCD, probably on the basis of two AS levels I also hold. The D was two marks off a C and being sent off for a remark so! |

We expect to see some late night student twatage, going on from September. A TEF tradition that has gone into hibernation of late...woken by the odd token story from Bogus Dave. |
