flowwolf Posted 19 June 2012 Posted 19 June 2012 Can't wait to see my results too. I'm kind of excited yet fearful too. Does anyone think going on the piss is a good idea ?
ousefox Posted 21 June 2012 Posted 21 June 2012 Last ever A-level exam today, went well, looking forward to seeing my results now
Father Ted Posted 21 June 2012 Posted 21 June 2012 ****ed C4 up bad today. Hope I can scrape the C I need to get an A overall.
Wymsey Posted 15 August 2012 Posted 15 August 2012 Bump Is anyone getting their grades tomorrow? For those who done really terribly, there's always the chance to become a mod on here (no qualifications guaranteed).

Tom17LCFC Posted 15 August 2012 Posted 15 August 2012 Good luck to anyone getting their grades tomorrow, sure you'll be sweet!
Swarles Barkley Posted 15 August 2012 Posted 15 August 2012 Getting AS grades at 10:30. Completely bricking it.
fleckneymike Posted 15 August 2012 Posted 15 August 2012 Just remember the exams you have just sat are very easy and in no way prepare you for work and or University. That's not my opinion by the way, but that of the secretary of state for education.
fleckneymike Posted 15 August 2012 Posted 15 August 2012 Oh and you'll get what you deserve. Weirdly if you worked hard you'll do quite well, if you were a dick you tend to come unstuck.
ScouseFox Posted 15 August 2012 Posted 15 August 2012 The big A2 results tomorrow. I'm pretty sure I won't get my first choice uni, I worked fúcking hard but it was always a bit unrealistic, and I haven't got a second choice so not really nervous cos I ain't expecting anything. If I do get in that'd be sweet as, if not I don't want to go to some shit heap like Bangor University (no disrespect to anyone from Bangor or at their uni) and pay about 40 grand for the privilege. Good luck everyone who's involved tomorrow.
Guest Bilo Posted 15 August 2012 Posted 15 August 2012 Best of luck to all AS and A2 Level students receiving results tomorrow, and remember it's not the end of the world if you haven't received the results you wanted. There are always options. Most of you should be fine though. I'll be popping along to school tomorrow, actually quite nervous for my students. I swear I'm worse than I was for my own A-Levels!
Father Ted Posted 16 August 2012 Posted 16 August 2012 GOT INTO LOUGHBOROUGH!! Needed AAB, only checked Maths so far as its online and got an A, got to go in for Physics and Geography so guaranteed minimum AB!
Guest Col city fan Posted 16 August 2012 Posted 16 August 2012 GOT INTO LOUGHBOROUGH!! Needed AAB, only checked Maths so far as its online and got an A, got to go in for Physics and Geography so guaranteed minimum AB! Well done FT.. That's a good Uni to get into.
Dylan Posted 16 August 2012 Posted 16 August 2012 A* in Maths A in AS Economics B in AS History... Pretty happy with that.
Xen Posted 16 August 2012 Posted 16 August 2012 GOT INTO LOUGHBOROUGH!! Needed AAB, only checked Maths so far as its online and got an A, got to go in for Physics and Geography so guaranteed minimum AB! Nice! I've got into Loughborough too Can't get my grades til 10 though...
fleckneymike Posted 16 August 2012 Posted 16 August 2012 You can get them all off UCAS tracker if it helps.
sdb Posted 16 August 2012 Posted 16 August 2012 Nervy day as a first time teacher too - waiting on 35 results! Luckily it's all gone pretty well. Enjoy uni ya lucky bastards.
ousefox Posted 16 August 2012 Posted 16 August 2012 Got 1 A* and 3 A's. Oh and a B in general studies! Quite happy with that, looking forward to uni.
Reynard Bleu Posted 16 August 2012 Posted 16 August 2012 My son just told me he got 1 a and 2 B's. he is delighted.
Manwell Pablo Posted 16 August 2012 Posted 16 August 2012 Oh and you'll get what you deserve. Weirdly if you worked hard you'll do quite well, if you were a dick you tend to come unstuck. A dick who does the bare minimum can blag his way through education/life without coming unstuck, I am testiment to that.
fleckneymike Posted 16 August 2012 Posted 16 August 2012 Take the time to read this depressingly honest sign off from #sexyalevels Why this blog must die. We’re basically done here, kids. We’re not going to maintain this website as we have done for the past 3 (4?) years. We’ve outlined the reasons below. Mostly this screed is a result of Joethedough’s fevered mind - and whileFlashboy and Qwghlm have read and approve this message, it’s he who takes ultimate responsibility. 1) Twitter has it covered. The hashtag #sexyalevels covers all bases and has basically always felt like the best way to enjoy the day. 2) We’re all fabulously important people now. Seriously you guys. we’re like the 1% these days and this shit does not look good on golf club applications. Or we’re just busy. 3) Our weapons are useless. In the 3 (4?) years we’ve been doing this, most media outlets remain unrepentant in their skeevy coverage. Worse, some of them have been being a little knowing and arch in their skeeviness. “Look! We’re being ironically appalling. Aren’t we adorable?†4) You guys knew this was a joke, right? (Part I) People send emails and lose their tempers about this. And it’s kind of easy to get why. And - eh - they’re kind of right. Is there such a thing as ‘glorifying through contempt’? Because there should be. And this is probably what that looks like. 5) You guys knew this was a joke, right? (Part II) People also link to the site saying things like “lovely knockers on hereâ€, and oh god. 6) This thing has become a feedback loop. Cf. “We’re being ironically appallingâ€. As Chris Cook noted in the FT last year, this isn’t just something that newspapers do in isolation. The news agencies only submit the kind of pictures they think news publishers want; the photographers only take pictures they think their agencies are looking for; and the more publicity-savvy schools only pick and choose their most “beyootiful girls†to pimp out to the snappers. So it goes, right? Nobody is shocked, shocked by this stuff. But it’s sort of begun to feel like giving it a name and making it a big jolly media in-joke is only reinforcing that - what originated as a piss-take starts to feel like it’s become a pro bono branding exercise for the whole sweaty-palmed business. 7) Smash patriarchy, amirite? We’re dicking about here, obviously, but at the heart of this one-joke website is the tiniest, most serious core of fundamental truth: This weird boner that Fleet Street has for soft, female flesh is not OK and we all pay a psychic toll because of it. Now you’d be right to point out the psychic toll we pay is smaller than that which we pay for all the other sexist bullshit in the world, but that’s scarcely the point. It feels all enabley. 8) Dude, aren’t you like, old? Well, I am. Chris and Tom are young and beautiful but I’m an old, old man. I’m 36. I have a wife and son and I moderate a website that collates pictures of 18 year old girls for a joke that even its creators struggle to justify. As the great man once said, OK. That’s us nailed to our cross. Thanks for listening. We’re aware it’s absurdly po-faced and over the top to post something like this on a website like this - but we mean it. We’re doneso. Take it home, Annie:
Fox92 Posted 16 August 2012 Posted 16 August 2012 Got 1 A* and 3 A's. Oh and a B in general studies! Quite happy with that, looking forward to uni. Well done mate!
Apollo Posted 16 August 2012 Posted 16 August 2012 Had a mare. College kicked me out leaving me no options other than to try and get a job. gutted tbh.
