Got my A-level results back today

More Than Mortal · August 14, 2014, 05:18:29 AM

Got a D in philosophy, a B in history and an A in politics. Apparently they're going to ask for a remark on the philosophy. Hopefully I'll be able to bring it up next year.

Any other britbongs get their results today?

Yep. I did my A-Levels a year earlier than everyone else and did pretty shit unfortunately. D in History, E in Law and let's not talk about Psychology. Got an A in English.

Not too bothered about my results, as I'm resitting them next year at a much nicer college.

I got in to Cardiff Uni to do Geology, thank god.

Got 3 C's (ICT, History and Geography), and a D from AS Physics last year. Oh and the Welsh Baccalaureate thing (which if you pass is an automatic A, but I don't really count it, thankfully Uni's do).

Should be fun.

It's somewhat better than my A levels <.<
They don't exist. I got about halfway into them and everything else went to shit around me so it was game ogre, lights out. But, I'm still doing a degree now so it's not all that bad.

I got the results for my first year not too long ago, 88% on the Exam and 66% overall for the module assessments (Dragged down by two shitty pieces of coursework). If I can get the overall up to parity with the exam then I should be passing with flying colours <.<

Keep saying that. I'll have you arrested when I'm prime minister and sent to Guantanamo.

66% is still a merit for a soft degree and a 2-2/2-1 for a honours.

Yeah, it wasn't too bad. And this module is only worth about a 1/6(ish) of the overall degree, I've got another similar module next year and then the following two years make up the final 2/3rds of the degree.
Let alone the fact that it was Social Sciences in general rather than actual Psychology for the most part >.>

How'd you manage to get a D in philosophy?

I honestly have no fucking clue. The grade boundaries might've been unnecessarily high, which has happened before. I got straight As whenever we did essays or practice exams prior to the exam, though, so I really, really don't know.

Politics was the one I'd felt I'd done the worst on. It's just a bit fucking topsy-turvy to be honest. That being said, trying to write even a short essay on Aquinas or Utilitarianism isn't particularly engaging.
