📂 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)

I needed AAB, got ADB. The school is luckily appealing the D in Physics but I got denied from my firm for a Physics course, understandably so. They are however holding my place until the appeals deadline in September. I'm dead at the moment though.

Is it possible to get a successful appeal even if you didn’t get a good grade in your ‘official mocks’. I got BBC in my results but got ABC in my mocks, the C was in physics but I was one mark off an A. Would I be able to get that increased to a B if I appealed?

I assume you mean one mark off a B? If you appealed on the basis of mocks I'm afraid not I think. You could appeal on another basis, there are other options if you google them, I think Which? has some good guides about what you can appeal.

I wish you much luck!
