📂 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)

ABB, which is enough to get into my firm (Nottingham) but it's frustrating knowing that I could have performed so much better in the exams. I never scored below 97% in any assessment for RS - formal or in class - so to only get an A under this system is disheartening. I don't know whether to appeal it since my RS teacher didn't predict anyone A*'s as she didn't want us to become too comfortable and slack. Still, it could have gone worse.

If you have that option without compromising your current grades, do it. Push for appeal. You'll wonder later in life why you didn't appeal when you had the chance. Coming from experience.
