MCFC James 2,984 Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 Re: Revision for Exams Well at the end of my AS Year, currently on; Business Studies A Geography B Biology C Law D Happy enough with them. Planning on dropping Biology even though it's not my lowest grade. Feel I didn't try hard enough in Law and a B is more than achievable. While Biology is one of the toughest A Levels. Going to resit my Geography unit 1 paper from January and try to push that up, so my overall grade turns into an A. I would have liked better, but it's an improvement on my January results.

Once you start A2s the AS' seem easy and you'll do better in January (obviously still need to revise though! XD ). Last year I got AABC in AS' but have a comfortable A's in all AS' now. Biology is one of those that gets easier n'all but A2 can be a real drag if you're not into it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Got an A in my Unit 2 Geography and a C in my Unit 1 Geography. So, hopefully I can turn I can turn Unit 1 into an A. Really didn't try hard enough in Law and getting a D was the best I could hope for. So I'm going to have to work a lot harder next year, but definitely see a B very achievable. Congratulations to everyone that got the results they needed btw. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Özil 395 Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 Re: Revision for Exams Needed two Distinctions and a B in History to get into my firm choice. Go 2 Distinction*'s and C in History. I missed out on a B by 3 UMS marks, I've sent it off for a priority remark but do you think it's worth it. Will anything change?

Contacted them the minute I got my results, contacted the guy in charge of my course and he told me to get the paper remarked and said that due to many people meeting conditions that it'd be difficult to give me a place despite me missing by 3 UMS marks. Did a little digging and turns out that on my unit specifically I got a mark over a C but just 2 further marks would hand me an extra 4 UMS marks taking me to 281/400 and just past the B grade boundary. Really hope that Edexcel help me out here. When did your sister get her remarked paper back time frame wise? Do you know? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dean 881 Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 Re: Revision for Exams English = C Maths = C Had to retake them since the only reason I got on my collage course two years ago was if I retook them. Just about got a C in the English after mucking up the exam cause I was sleepy and by the looks of things only a couple of marks and it would of gotten me a D. And Maths is just annoying me since I don't know what marks I got just that I got a C. Quite happy means I won't have to retake them for a third time this year and I'll have some more time to do other stuff then waste 8 hours going to English and Maths each week.
