 At some point in my life I realized that grades doesn't really matter, only true knowledge does. How I performed in the exam "on stage" didn't really translate to how well I benefitted from a class. Some courses with top grades were forgotten in months while some with lesser stuck to me forever. I recommend trying to learn everything you can from a course with a critical and independent mind and don't fret too much over grades judged on how well you performed in that instant. When looking for jobs grades will have impact, but true knowledge is realized instantly and worth a million times more than numbers/letters on a paper. Some of the mistakes I made early in my life was disinterest and skipping of class, then read it all before the exam to score a good grade. I did this because it was the easiest way for me, why waste my time when I could get a good grade anyways I told myself... The problem is that the brain don't work that well with this strategy, in the long run you benefit so much more from having digested the knowledge over time and letting it stick to the brain. My point is that hard work will always give you the most benefit and I consider my discipline to work hard my most valuable (and hardest learned) lesson in life. | ||

And they are the grades that we show to our universities to get in. So a university gives a requirement of for example AAA, and you need to get A grades in 3 different A level subjects to get accepted into the university. Sorry it's fairly hard to explain and I don't know much about the US educational system but hopefully that helped a little. | ||

From what I understand in the US system you receive offers from colleges, based on the quality of your application, and then they give you an offer, which asks you to get a certain grade in your SATs. This is sort of like that. We get offers from Universities and we have to get above the grades that they ask. I don't really understand SATs, but I believe that everyone takes the same tests, while in England (the school systems are similar within Britain, but the systems are devolved) you take specific subjects (usually 3).

the application process includes your high school transcript: 4 years of high school each year with different classes. your grades in all four years are calculated towards a collective GPA which determines your ranking and GPA is usually calculated out of 4.0 with As being 4, Bs being 3 etc. in some schools you can take honors/AP/IB courses that are worth more points than regulars classes making them worth for example 5 instead of 4 and these courses are weighted towards for final school rankings the number 1 school in america does not do class rankings because it would create too much drama/intensity among students with AP classes or Advance Placement you can take a test that will give you credits towards college if you meet certain grade requirements and these usually look very good on your transcript you also take the SAT or ACT for college and its usually a requirement. SAT out of 2400 ACT out of 36. and you can also take SAT 2 which are subject tests you usually write 2-4 essays for your college application and the application also requires usually 3 recommendation letters pretty stressful process especially if your first couple of choices rejects you | ||

The lowest level of qualification universities look at here are GCSE's, which are the tests you take over 2 years, between the ages of 14-16. Although I'm not even sure how many, aside from the very top, universities actually look at them too much. What they really look at are predicted grades, which are generally based on tests taken in your penultimate year (they themselves are worth 50% of your final grade), but these are decided by your teachers, so is open to exaggeration, which is sort of unfair to students disliked by their teachers. As far as I know, there is one extra-credit thing you can do, which is the Duke of Edinburgh award and thats worth a couple of UCAS points. (Each grade is worth a certain number of points, and some courses basr offers on points, others on grades, often subject specific, for example I need an A in maths, more specifically an A in 2 specific tests, but only a B in Chemistry. They do take into account extra curricular activities though and you write about these on your personal statement. The personal statement is, I believe, 1000 words and in it you include why you want to do the course and basically try and convince them that they want you. Unless they interview you at a later date, and until then, that is the only bit of your application that you can actually show who you are, the rest is just facts. Also here we apply through UCAS (who are apparently fucking terrible and too cheap to spend money so they can handle the obvious increased traffic they should expect today), which, according to Wikipedia, "is a charitable organisation responsible for managing applications to almost all full-time undergraduate degree programmes at UK universities and colleges." Through UCAS you write your application, and its basically filling in a form, aside from your personal statement. You can apply to up to 5 courses, but you apply to all 5 at once, so if you get 5 rejections you don't get an offer, although clearing is still available. Clearing is where universities try to fill any remaining spots. Anyone who hasn't got a place can apply to these spots, which involves phoning up the university and asking. Its pretty much, the first good applicant to ask gets the spot, so I'm pretty pissed off that UCAS still won't let me see my results, since theres a place I'm eyeing if I don't get my initial spot, and I know it will go fast.

So you're well on track for the first requirement. With your high score in C1 it should give you some extra leeway for your 2 applied modules. Then all you need to do is work hard for your C3/C4 and score the 90 average and you're set! congrats. | ||

But when I took the A2, (learning at school) I only got in mid 80's averaging out at around 92-94%. I don't know if it was because I was slack as fuck in senior year, (which I was) or Maths got a lot harder(?). I say if you've got the money spare it's worth it to take a resit, because you don't have to put any extra into taking a resit apart from a couple hours and the money. It's not like resitting English literature where you have to learn new texts. Imo, if money isn't an issue - do it. | ||

(~_^) You can retake them too, and by the time you've learnt C3 and C4 they are pretty trivial in comparison. I got a C the first time I did C2 and 91% the second time. Maths - A. I did worse on M1 and C2 than I thought I did, but better on C3 and C4 than I thought. Must have been pretty low grade boundaries, which makes me more bitter about choking pretty hard on them. Physics - B. Thank god my teacher put so much emphasis on the coursework, I'm not sure I would have got a B without it. Chemistry - B. I was tilting harder than Naniwa facing a reverse sweep in the first exam so I'm ok with it overall. I'm pretty happy, on the way I decided I was probably going to get somewhere between AAB and BCC, so I'm closer to the top end, and I got the A in maths. I don't think I met my offer, but I can;t log into UCAS at the moment and check. I'm about to phone up and see, and if not I saw a pretty nice offer in clearing that I'll try and go for. If that also fails I'll take a gap year and reapply this year, I initially deferred entry anyway, which is partly why my choices are so limited. edit:Damn TL is a smart bunch, my results look good compared to most that I know, but I feel like an idiot here. It doesn't help that I picked up a friends results and he got some pretty sick results. Hopefully everyone got what they wanted and needed today anyway, that's really what's important. | ||

Its a bit late now but id advise anyone going for a uni place to look at their interview technique. I got offered a place at 5 unis for AAB. I got BBC and had to interview for 4/5 unis because they were oversubscribed. I got offered a place at all of them despite being like 60 ucas points under the entrence level for all of them, and them being over subscribed. Seriously, work on the interview technique, if you dont use it now, itll help bucket loads when the time to get a job rolls round, which happens much soooner than you would think. | ||

Lol and anyways if I ever get curious I can just go back to my (ex) school library, log on as a teacher and get/share the file where they store the whole year's predicted and actual grades in every subject. File security FTW! | ||

I loved my time there and it's a beautiful place but not much of a party town - last opening is 1 in the morning out of respect to the locals who live there. Still Dundee and Edinburgh is close enough for trips. Hope y'all got what you wanted/need, and grats everyone on the hard work. Thanks a lot for this, I'm very happy to be going there, and hopefully spend four years there! | ||

Its unfortunate that someone as indecisive as me had to be in the year with the toughest competition, but I'm pretty angry at UCAS. They couldn't sort their shit out for one day and I lost out on any chance of going to a university I wanted to go to this year. Even if I'd got in contact with someone about the clearing places UCAS didn't give me any of the details that I would have needed. | ||

The delays from that and not being able to get onto track meant that, by the time I got the confirmation that I had been rejected from my firm choice, all the clearing places I'd been eyeing since midnight had closed. So I'm now sitting on a confirmation for deferred entry at Glasgow. Its unfortunate that someone as indecisive as me had to be in the year with the toughest competition, but I'm pretty angry at UCAS.

That's hard, have you considered re-applying next year for it again?? I still haven't been rejected yet by Imperial, but I'm deferred, so I think they'll do mine after this year's lot... | ||

I was planning to take a gap year for a while, so the more I think about it the less bad it seems, its really the idea that I'm being forced into it that I don't like. I guess now I'm actually free. I can get a mediocre day job and train until I'm a bonjwa by night. I hope it works out for you. Imperial is a great university, I would have loved to stay in London for uni, its a shame I don't think that there aren't really any Universities in my range. | ||

Thanks a lot, unfortunately my bonjwa training is going to be severely affected at Imperial... Soo much work apparently! On the bright side, in my eyes, my knowledge of the game is really good even tho I'm terrible at implementing it, so I'm hoping Imperial is stereotypical, and is filled with a bunch of Asians who are gods at SC2, and set up a uni team for the UKTL... Edit: In all of that, I neglected to say good luck no matter what happens. Stuff works itself out eventually! | ||

History A Politics A Psychology B RS C As far as I can tell anyways. The whole UMS thing is baffling. Easily good enough for what I want to do at uni (American Studies at Nottingham- usually requires ABB) so I'm very happy. Also a U in General Studies. I wasnt in the mood on the day of the exam so ended up writing about zombies, terrorists and alien invasions in the first module. | ||

A Further Maths A2 A Computing A2 B Physics A2 And some bits. e in additional further maths AS, my worse spare modules. b in AS chemistry too.Offer was AAA to include Maths and Physics, so I'm guessing an A in Further Maths makes up for a grade lower in Physics as they let me. Starting in October for a Masters in Aeronautical Engineering at Loughborough. Very happy :D | ||

As a frequenter of the Imperial student union, I can confirm that Imperial does indeed have many asians there who I'm sure will fulfill your dream of a UKTL team. | ||

If I'm interested in going to a college in Britain (I'm American), do I have to do something different or will they take my SAT score + transcript and whatever else you apply with to American unis? Have a look here! I haven't actually read throught that myself because there's no reason for me to, but I'm pretty much certain that you will be applying through UCAS like everyone in the UK does, and they will have all the info you need.

I got offered a place at 5 unis for AAB. I got BBC and had to interview for 4/5 unis because they were oversubscribed. I got offered a place at all of them despite being like 60 ucas points under the entrence level for all of them, and them being over subscribed. Seriously, work on the interview technique, if you dont use it now, itll help bucket loads when the time to get a job rolls round, which happens much soooner than you would think. What worked best for you then and scored points? | ||

I'm doing physics, just cos it should be more varied and interesting to study for 4+ years should be virtually all maths anywayRequirements for Maths were AAA but were dropped to AAB if you took further maths, because of its difficulty and how much they value the subject! Go for Warwick, it's one sexy place :D and good luck with your A Levels! | ||
