My DS just gone in to collect AS results

[wakeupandsmellthecoffee]

Feel sick
He's worried about physics results

Even at 17 they still look so vulnerable
Fingers crossed

Good luck to him! have a cuppa and try relax

I'm off soon with ds1.

Good Luck to them all on this important day 🍀

Everything crossed folks!

Best of British

Ooh good luck to him! I am an academic and I'm pissing about waiting for the phones to start ringing.

Don't worry, they almost all get sorted out somehow or other

Not the best
Physics fail
Onwards and upwards
No one died as they say

Don't worry. I cocked up two of my as but worked bloody hard, did weekly practice essays and got them up to As. Tho maybe that's a moot story if they can't retake modules anymore...?
Onwards and upwards. Can he redo the year? X

Oh God, Physics...
You know what they say - if it moves, it's Biology; if it smells, it's Chemistry; and if you don't understand it, it's Physics.
And it's such a massive jump from GCSE to AS in that particular subject. My DS was baffled from day one, having done well at GCSE.
Can your DS drop the subject and move on?

Just hanging around waiting to see what happens next

My ds is delaying going in to get his AS results ! We both think it is going to be bad news. He has already dropped one A'level this year.

Ds just got his AS results ....CDD in geography, Physics and Biology.....not great results for applying to Uni in September ....got a lot of work to do now!

Seriously every kid that's come out of school has failed physics
They've all done badly
It's a good school

Mine wants a lift in at " about 11"

I am going quietly mad.

My DS got A for Computing, B for Maths (will retake a couple of papers) and D for Critical Thinking which he couldn't give a toss about!

Still waiting to go..........

Muttering. .......It's not about me its not about me its not about me it's not about me it's not about me

4 B's Physics, Chemistry, Maths , Biology. She's very upset. Waiting for lift to school to see what the boundaries/marks were, as they weren't on line.

He's having a shower, which normally would be good news.

My dd has too

Her boyfriend didn't get his uni place :(

Dd just got hers

C - Geography
C - philosophy
C English

She thought she would do much better in Geography bless her

Well still waiting around for school meeting at 12
Costa is quite nice at this time of day
He on the other had is in Subway with his mates
Wish I knew if he could retake or not
This was all new this year due to someone somewhere changing the format of the exam

Only (only!!!) AS ' it will be worse next year.

Nice looooong shower.

It's not about me it's not about me it's not about me

My sister totally screwed her a levels, did a foundation year and ended up with a 1st class degree and a phd in neuro science - he will be fine!

DS refusing to go in. He is sure he has failed Physics.

His sixth form college will email his results through at midday so we'll know then.

EtTu those are good results this year. Seriously. Especially in Physics. The sciences have been a right old mess, what with all the changes.

What worries me is how it is going to affect predicted grades and university offers, though.

It's the total and utter confusion that surrounds these exams that pisses me off.
They've made such a pig's ear out of it , and at the end of the day, every single one of my DD's friends have had their confidence rattled, no matter what the subjects.

DD2 was told at Warwick that they weren't even going to look at AS level results this year (even in non-linear A2s) because of the move to linear exams and not all schools offering them.
So hopefully the option of redoing it next year it's non-linear and forgetting about it if it doesn't count to his A2.
