Re: A Level Results Day!!!!
 

I would repectfully suggest that prior to attending this institution, you at least refer to it by it's correct title - The University of Central Lancashire.

There is no need to apologise for such a simplistic error.

By the way, congrats on your result.

Congrats on yer result John & to everyone whom awaited their results!!!

Aye, Dancing rodents to all of you!!! (Conga rats! :D)

There will always be another resit/career/ etc. Remember its not a race through life, take your time and choose what you really want. TBH I wish I'd taken a year out between college and Uni to have a break from the constant stream of education that you have been subjected to for the last 15 years or so.

Also don't feel so hung up about what you actually want to do for a living, some of the most interesting people I know still haven't a clue. I always feel that you are pushed into making choices with all this pressure about the rest of your life depending on it when to be brutally honest it doesn't. Soemtimes to fail makes you evaluate what you really want to do rather than what you think you should be doing. Life has a funny way of turning out better than you could have hoped for.

Entwisi you are SO right........Well done JT.
You Never EVER pick over the bones of a success the way you do a failure.
Failures are one of the greatest learning curves in life.......not that you would want too many of them though.

Whats that saying,

"you start out with a full tub of luck and an empty tub of experience, the trick is to fill the tub of experience before the tub of luck runs out! "

Re: A Level Results Day!!!!
 

Maths AS: D
Politics AS: C
Computing Alevel: C
ICT Alevel: C

Woo I expected to fail most of them, i've passed everything and can go again next year. :D

ps. AS are half an alevel (have to carry those on next year)

:D

Re: A Level Results Day!!!!
 

Just out of interest, where did those of you who have taken A/AS levels this year study? I was under the impression that it is no longer possible to do these courses in Accy. Or am I wrong?

Re: A Level Results Day!!!!
 

I took mine in St Marys Blackburn, I think you're correct and Accrington do not do A/AS levels..

Re: A Level Results Day!!!!
 

Well done everyone xx

My son went to Preston Uni, sorry can't remember the posh title! He seemed happy there.

Good luck for the future.

Re: A Level Results Day!!!!
 

I am not happy with my AS level results.....I'm resitting the whole year...first time i've ever been disappointed with any of my results.... oh well.....only another 2 years at college

Re: A Level Results Day!!!!
 

It's never as bad as it looks, Lea. What did you get? And if you are considering retaking the entire year, then are you considering repeating the same subjects or changing to something different?

Re: A Level Results Day!!!!
 

Well, I did mine at St Mary's as well....but that was a long time ago. In those days, you could also do A levels at the old Accy Grammar, Accy Girls grammar & Paddock House in Ossy.

Re: A Level Results Day!!!!
 

I got 3 D's and an E.....and a U in biology because i dropped it as the teacher was a disgrace...there were many complaints made about her/him.
It's a shame because I got A's, B's and C's in my January modules....so so disappointed.....I wanted to do media and film studies....but I couldn't see a career at the end... so choose the sciences and maths route....sigh

Re: A Level Results Day!!!!
 

Well, Lea...you choose the science subjects - the tough ones. You can either go through them again (show perseverence) or switch to new subjects, in which case you will have a CV presentable to University admission/employers which will show a science background underpinning the subjects you decide to take.

Several of my friends did not do as well as they would have wished with their A levels....one is now a GP, a couple are company directors and another is a senior civil servant...so don't worry to much about it.
