Fingers crossed for son 1 doc! Son 2 will hopefully be ok...
CStar, she was poorly for her mocks wasn’t she? Such bad luck, I’m sure if she’s good at revision she’ll be fine with the resits.
Thanks HB

She was yes, so she should be ok. Maths was fine, but physics and chemistry were a car crash, so at least she only has to resit 2. It will be a good lesson in resilience.

Oh that’s a shame for your teen CStar. Hope she’s not too disappointed and does well in the actual exams. Has she got something to keep her busy this year? Travelling is hardly an option for gap years right now.

A* B B here. With the A* in art so she’s delighted, as she said even getting an A is difficult and had been cautious in her expectations. The other two have been downgraded from predicted but she seems ok with that.
Results are well within requirement for Loughborough art foundation but we’re waiting on go food the place (it’s direct rather than via UCAS)

I think she might try and go and work in a skiing resort for the winter, which would be fun and not require lots of travel.

Very disappointing grades here, but still got his deferred place offer regardless. ABD, would have hoped for AAA with maybe at least one *. Wonder if there's any point resitting the D as he has an offer anyway.
He's still adamant on the gap year.

A levels are a passport to the next level. If you’ve got a place in the next level would you need to resit? I guess if he thinks any future career is very competitive and might look at A levels, but are they really relevant after a degree?

Congratulations DS1 and fingers crossed for your 2 DocM and your 1 Meglet
CStar- resits sound a good plan given the circumstances
Stu- that must be a huge disappointment but at least he's got the place. I guess it's up to him how important that D is

I feel your pain Stu H. Was it an unconditional offer, so he's ok anyway?

Teen got his place at Bath, thank goodness. He got AAB (Maths, Chemistry, Physics) and is very disappointed with the B.
