well done to those who passed, to those who feel they failed? Just re-evaluate and decide where to go next. As has already been said it's not the end of the world

[shillelagh]

Well done to everyone - hope you got the results you wanted if you didnt take a step back and think i can do it and go for the resits. Thats what i did (though it wasnt A & AS levels) and i passed at the second time of asking.

[chav1]

am i to assume that the orderly que to level 6 of the arndale carpark was the people who failed ?

Don't understand AS level, thought they were just a 'mock' type exam after first year to give you a pointer for build up for the final year .. why another 2 years ? Seems crazy you have to work towards these in the first year, hard enough as it is. Why go back ? Somebody explain please.

[John_Timmins]

basically alevels now consisit of two main sets of results, the first years reaults are your a-s levels and then the 2nd year is A2 which is the final alevel,

my niece first got told by her mom that she wudnt b goin to uni as she cudnt afford it so she didnt apply anywhere - she came out with two a's and 1 b and her mom's changed her mind now

only thing is all the good places at uni have gone so she's left wiht courses that she really didnt think she wud b doing

oh well - she was interested in doin marketing at man uni but the course places are full - do u think that closer to the time there will b people dropping out and be spaces for her to get in?

[entwisi]

Mani, at worst tell her to take a year out, get some work experience and a few savings behind her. Then when she goes to Uni she will have a better understandin of teh type of crappy jobs there are and she will want to work that extra bit so she doesn't have to go back to one!

Tell her to get onto ucas and I believe 'The Telegraph' have teh full UCAS clearing list so she may be able to find somewhere that has places

AS's are just half an A-Level

Congratulations to everyone on your results. Don't worry if you didn't get the results that you wanted, you can always repeat courses now and there are loads more opportunities than there used to be.

I have just finished a degree at UCLAN (no results until October). I have never done an A-level in my life. I got 8 O-levels but had basically had enough of full time education when I left school, so I never went to college. I dossed for 2 years getting experience in different jobs then went to nursing school. I have done my degree part time whilst working full time. I have to admit that it was hard work trying to attend lectures, get assignments in on time and commuting to and from UCLAN in my time off, but it is manageable.

There is more than one way to achieve your goals, for those of you who cannot get on the course you want this year, take a year out, get a job and get some money behind you (uni is a dear do). For those who didn't get the results you need, repeat your course....at least you have that option these days. Well done everyone..
