A Level Results Day

Hi If UCAS does not update first thing before the school opens for result is it a bad sign that the offer has been missed.
Good luck to everyone awaiting results :)

coffee the normal teachers won't know the results til tomorrow, same as the pupils. I'm not going in to my school tomorrow so I'll need to wait til my hod emails me at some point tomorrow (probably in the evening sometime). The only people who know at my school are the exams officer, the data manager, the senior management team and the head of sixth form. So that's 7 people out of a staff of nearly 100. No luck trying to guess based on teachers reactions, we're often just as anxious as the students.

I'm stress eating copious amounts of chocolate! Have decided against alcohol though - its going to be an early start and I need to be on top form!

Snap blueballoon, I’ve baked a batch of brownies and seem to have eaten nothing but carbs and chocolate today Blush Feeling sick now with a combination of nerves and the after-effects of eating rubbish.

beautifulblueballoon · 15/08/2018 20:54

C4T5 lol! I am now lying here feeling decidedly sick too! I am trying to loose weight at the moment too and was determined I was going to stick to healthy foods this week!

Cyclingpast · 15/08/2018 21:12

Are you all going to go with your young people to collect the results? DS wants me to go (I have to take him there anyway) but I'm not sure if that's the done thing!

Skiiltan · 15/08/2018 21:22

The Edexcel grade boundaries have been leaked a day early (schoolsweek.co.uk/edexcel-grade-boundaries-leaked-ahead-of-a-level-results-day/), so those students who have got hold of them may or may not be panicking more now.

LittleSpace · 15/08/2018 21:40

ds is collecting one A level tomorrow (year 12).

It looks like OCR grade boundaries have leaked too.

bevelino · 15/08/2018 22:55

@Woodenhillmum good luck with your 3 tomorrow. Mine will be logging in to their school portals for their results early in the morning eek!

BagelGoesWalking · 16/08/2018 01:03

DD distracted herself by making cookies and later supper for all of us. I'm still downstairs and I don't think she's asleep yet.

Good Luck to everyone, fingers crossed for the best results possible.

beautifulblueballoon · 16/08/2018 05:49

morning all. Today's the day!!
Good luck everyone - hope everything works out for everyone.
Were off to school for 7am, think that track may not update before she gets the results but we will see which happens first. I just want it over with now!

nokidshere · 16/08/2018 06:34

Good luck to everyone. I'm having coffee and resisting the urge to wake him up to look lol

beautifulblueballoon · 16/08/2018 06:41

good luck nokids DD is upstairs doing her make up!? Were setting off in 5 mins.

beautifulblueballoon · 16/08/2018 06:43

we're not were....damn auto-correct messing with my grammar!

Awks · 16/08/2018 06:52

Good luck all, today's the day 🤔

raspberryrippleicecream · 16/08/2018 06:56

Good luck everyone. DD gets hers at 8.00

teta · 16/08/2018 06:57

Morning everyone. I’ve had about 4 hours shut eye and Dd is still asleep. Not sure whether I need to go into school with her. The original plan was to find out whether she has a place, at home and then drive hereself into school. There are no places in clearing for her course this year. We have no plan b as this is a one A level retake year. Dd was confident earlier but nerves got the better of her last night and she asked me to take her in early.Dd has been working all year and has her own car so we’ve barely seen her. Hence it feels a little strange for me to revert back to the dependency of last year.

Clairetree1 · 16/08/2018 06:58

good morning, we've been up for hours.

NaturalBlondeYeahRight · 16/08/2018 07:01

No emails, no tracking and no school until 9. Don’t know what to do with ourselves now.

bevelino · 16/08/2018 07:05

The results are in and lots of whooping and cheering in our house.

hugoagogo · 16/08/2018 07:06

I am sending you all good vibes. All this stuff on the telly about results day is bringing it all back to me.
My tummy is all funny. Confused

Clairetree1 · 16/08/2018 07:10

how have you got yours already @belvino?

and congratulations

bevelino · 16/08/2018 07:16

@Clairetree, my dds’ results were available online at 6:30 am via their school portals.

Fifthtimelucky · 16/08/2018 07:19

Mine too. She has what she needs. Daughter is delighted and hugely relieved but won't quite believe it until she sees the offer confirmed on UCAS.

MsAwesomeDragon · 16/08/2018 07:20

Well done bevelino! Enjoy celebrating today !

Horsemad · 16/08/2018 07:21

Good Luck Everyone, we went through this last year for the final time with DS2! I remember the tension!!
