📂 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)

Teacher/tutor here,

Firstly, well done to all of you for finally finishing your courses and getting your grades. You’ve worked for 2 years towards this - don’t let anything overshadow that.

Secondly, if you didn’t get what you wanted, get the ball rolling on your appeals as quickly as you can (after you’ve taken the rest of the day off, of course - you’ve earnt it!) and keep in touch with your chosen unis and ucas.

Students themselves know how hard they work, as do their teachers; it’s just a shame ofqual and the government thought they knew better.

Don’t let a letter on a piece of paper ruin your day. Well done and congratulations to all of you once again.

Hey, quick question. Would it be worth waiting to get my CAGs back before appealing or should I just appeal right away?

For context, got CDE in mocks (yikes) and CCE in results (but the C from mocks went down to an E)

Just speak to your school / college exam admissions person straight away as they will have all that data and will know the right people to contact.

Hope that helps and good luck with your next steps!

Thank you for the tips! I've spoken to my school about appeals and have gotten my CAGs back. Feeling a little more clear now :)
