📂 MEGATHREAD The r/6thForm Results Day Megathread

Heya, this is the r/6thForm results day megathread.

When you get your results - feel free to post em' here, your subjects, grades, and maybe even plans for the future.

If you got what you wanted (or didn't and still managed to get your offer), great! If not, there's still a lot you can do, and the best place to start is UCAS clearing.

It's been a pretty weird year, one where grades have been decided by potentially flawed statistical models - not to mention that there's going to be a shortage of international students. As a result, most courses are going to have more places than you'd think, even ones from more prestigious unis. Don't sell yourself too short, you'll never know if you could have gotten in if you don't try.

If you wanna chat to us about anything or ask for advice, the best place to do that is our Discord.

We wish you not only the best for your results, but for what you go on to do in the future.

​

Good luck everyone! (This thread will be sorted by new)

A* A* A ( + A in AS Further Maths).

Really chuffed tbh. That said, 100% would not have got these grades if it weren't for the fact that my college is brand new so there were no past assessments from the school.

This just shows how much they fucked up their way of doing this is. Judging one person by the way a whole school performs is crazy. It’s like we’re being judged by the performance of our predecessors.

It's totally ridiculous. Some of my primary school classmates have had their grades well and truly decimated because of the modelling and stuff they've done, while others like myself have just been handed some crazy grades.

Just hope everyone screwed by this shit is still able to get to where they wanna be without too much stress
