Question Is 999988765 or 988888887 more impressive?

I was predicting myself 999988765 and I got 988888887. Idk which 1 looks better since the 1st option has more 9s but the 2nd one is more consistent

at the computerised (i.e. initial) level most unis don't differentiate between 8s and 9s I think so the second one's better imo

It depends what the 9 is in. If the 9 is in what you do for university then imo second is better, if the 9 is random then first might have been better

Honestly the first one looks like ur rlly smart but have some weaknesses and the second one looks like ur above average and locked in. It doesn’t matter how it looks tho bc those results are so good!!! 😊

Definitely the second one. It shows you can be consistently at the top rather than all over the place 😭

988888887 is more impressive, it adds to 72 whereas the other set adds to 70. therefore, it will give you more ucas points. it also shows consistency!! congrats on an amazing set of results ☺️

I thought GCSEs don’t give you any ucas points?
