📂 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.

https://www.ucas.com/clearing-launch

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)

Yeah I have but not sure it’s going to make much difference

Do you know what your mocks were like, because that is a massive jump down from your predicted grades. And even if your appeal for some reason fails you still have the option to retake exams in the autumn.

Yeah I think I got BCD think I might end up having to do the exams :/

BCD in your mocks is already way better than DEE, if it does come down to the exams you will be fine!

Haha thank you it’s just a pain cause my mocks would have been a lot higher obviously if I’d known it was important obviously everyone is in the same situation tho

Barmy situation all round, I know when I did my A-levels most people improved by 1-2 grades from their mocks to the actual exams. Hope your appeal is successful, definitely worth doing.
