Commit sudoku.

Clearance while I cry in the school library. If it doesn't go too well, I will pop some pills and end it all for failing.

No, I would just do an apprenticeship.

I fucked up all my A-Levels about 5 years back, I was too young to really care about any of it. I recently decided to try again, and just finished an Access course. I'll be starting Uni in September at the ripe age of 24.

Remember, it's not the end of the world if you fail; just a set-back.

Good luck ladm8s.

If you're waiting for results then surely you're admitting to being under 18...

>>4677
Not if it took you 3 years to finish it.

>>4677
No, you turn 18 in the second year, either during term or during the holiday before university starts.

So he might be under 18 if his birthdays in August.

>>4673
Make sure you at least get to leap into the air for the local paper.

When are the results out, about the 20th still or sooner?

I applied to York last year for Economics and Finance with AAB entry requirements, got BBC.

Took a gap year and re did my exams. Got AA in Maths and Economics, need a B in Physics, currently sitting on a C.

Same requirements (AAB), different course (Economics and Maths), really scared about getting that B in Physics, I hope maybe they'll let me in even if I get AAB.

This year has honestly been the worst year of my life. I just want to go to University already.

>>4680

15th I think.

>>4681

*even if I get AAC

Sorry

>>4677
Nope. The majority of people who get a level results are 18+ as Year 13 this year is for people born between August 30th 1994 and August 30th 1995. Anyone born before August 3rd 1995 will now be 18.

>>4681

What a fucking waste of time for a degree. A well paid version of theology. Have fun knowing whatever job you get with it will only make other people poorer and contribute nothing to society.

>>4684
Economics and maths is a waste of time? Right mate, if you say so.

>>4684

>Have fun knowing whatever job you get with it will only make other people poorer and contribute nothing to society.

Are you thinking of something in particular? There's plenty of opportunities from an Economics/Maths degree, plus the money I saved this year from working makes Uni cheaper on the whole for me.

I've been temping for AQA over the summer to help error check your pissing A-Level papers. For any geographers here, I recall there being an issue with one of your papers but I cannot remember if it was A-Level or GCSE. It was on a question where you had to draw arrows to the caves in the diagram, and if the arrows weren't exactly touching the caves you'd get 0 marks. Pretty bloody petty.

>>4687

There's a load of stuff like this that always crops up, they're always so inconsistent too, on one hand being far too lenient, and the other being far too petty, as you accurately put it.

>>4687
AQA are horrible for that. You can have the question correct, know your shit but if you don't use their exact (arbitrary) wording then you're fucked.

>>4682
Seems unlikely. York and most of the other good unis have way too many applicants per place, so anyone who doesn't at least get the grades in the offer gets rejected. What's your insurance offer?

>>4692

Reading. ABC

Most of my friends are already at University and got in at a lower grade. My friend who is doing Engineering at Bristol needed A*AA and got in with AAC

>>4693
>>4693
Hah. My insurance for Reading was BBC for classical studies in 2010, so eitger my dept has low standards or their requirements have inflated.

>>4695

It's definitely the latter. My dad is an engineer and works with a kid straight out of Oxford and he only needed AAB to get in, nowadays you'll struggle unless you have A*A*A.

I don't know what's going to happen, surely it's going to reach a point where every university is looking for ridiculously high grades soon.

>>4697
Well in some ways you could say the the new A* has replaced the old A, making A*A*A grades now equivalent to AAB grades back then.

Although, my Cambridge offer was just AA, compared to people on my same course who needed ridiculous points on IB or a foreign equivalent.

>>4694
I forgot about the fee increases making less people apply to uni. I applied in the final year of ~£3500 fees, so that's probably why there were so few clearing places because loads of people went straight to uni when they otherwise would have taken a year out.

>>4699
There are more people in university than ever despite fees.

>>Mfw there are loads of 'decent'/ Russell group unis in clearing.

(A good day to you Sir!)

>>4701

Doesn't clearing open after results come out?

Christ, I'm bricking it for tomorrow.

>>4701
n1 modlad.

>>4700
Except that's wrong.
http://www.hesa.ac.uk/content/view/1897/239/

I bet you made that assertion taking foreign students and population growth into account too.

>>4704
but that graph proves him correct.

>>4704
So you're attempting to prove that the fee increase didn't adversely affect application numbers with precisely zero data pertaining to the time they took effect (2012/13). You're also oblivious of the prevailing belief that more people applied to the preceding years wanting to avoid the imminent increase. Good going, mate.

>>4705
... The graph isn't about there being more students than ever before; that data is within the link (http://www.hesa.ac.uk/content/view/1897/239/).
The graph displays a sharp change in the trend of improving state school FE representation.
>So you're attempting to prove that blah blah blah
No, I was pointing out the error in claiming that more people were going to university than previous therefore everything is fine.
Which is bollocks.

>>4708
A) What graph?
B) Shows how shit state education is when they'll be paying less under the new system than the old one.

What time do they update track? It's like 8am or something, right?

Just remember, lads. 12 hours to pretty girls jumping.

>>4710
07:30, but best to get on 06:30ish and keep checking every 5 minutes because sometimes results are on early, and if you leave it too late you might have to wait a few hours before you can view the results.

>>4712

Says 8am on the page.

I can't fucking sleep.

>>4713
My current strategy is to smoke and drink my night away. It's going well and I suggest you follow suit. I've been invited to a couple party's so it must be going well.

>>4711
Word from the wise lads, every club will be filled over capacity tonight with screaming kids. Worst weekend of the year.

Guess you fretters will be checking now. Good luck teenlads. I'm off to bed.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/education/universityeducation/clearing/10244211/A-level-results-2013-top-marks-drop-for-second-year-in-a-row.html

So grades have broadly gone down while offers inflated up. It seems.

See you lads.

>>4718
I woz on the checkaht BEEP BEEP BEEP but then the army trained me up and made me a leedah

>>4719
But think of the fun he could be having.

Where are all the pretty girls jumping? I had high hopes...

>>4721
They will be on the village lawns all over the Home Counties early tomorrow morning surrounded by Telegraph photographers.

>FT’s Christopher Cook writes:
>But what might shock you is the enthusiasm with which schools encourage the use of pictures of pulchritudinous blondes. Indeed, a little cadre of English private schools compete to supply attractive young women to the national press.

>Last year, I received an unsolicited voicemail from the press liaison at Badminton School in Bristol: “Hi Chris, . . .Just wanting to give you some details of some absolutely beyootiful girls we’ve got here who are getting their A-level results tomorrow. Some lovely stories . . . They’re amazing girls.” Bedales School in Hampshire helpfully supplies photos to journalists, sending out pictures of some of its pupils celebrating GCSE results. Oddly, it seems to forget to send out any photos of its male students (or its dowdier girls).

>Most alarmingly, another (very grand) private school invited the FT education correspondent to an end-of-year sports event. I was, alas, too busy. It was a shame, I was informed by a senior teacher. He said that watching the girls playing sports would have given me a unique opportunity to pick out promising candidates for A-level day pictures.

That last paragraph is getting off my peado-meter though. Pead-ometer? Pedometer? No, that's already a thing.

>>4724
Get a grip, students receiving A-levels will be overwhelmingly 18+.

>>4725

I know, I just wanted to open up a debate as to what the correct term for an instrument that measures paedophile-ness would be.

>>4726
Paedar.

>>4727

If this were real life I'd have slapped my hand on the table and pointed at you like one of those Italians from The Sopranos, because you're exactly right.

>>4725

Aye, but the point isn't a legal as much as a moral one. The people working in schools are in a position of authority over their pupils, which is why it's generally frowned upon to scout them as you would a model.

>>4727

wouldn't you need to be a paedo to have a paedar?

>>4730
In the same sense that you must regularly enjoy being fisted in order to suspect Louie Spence might be a bit bent, yeah.

>>4723

This is absolutely fucking repulsive.

>>4723

I think that's pretty cool. Seems normal and common enough.

>>4730
No. They measure their paedoness by analysing their moisture levels when they come into contact with children. AA hygroometer, if you will.
