good luck m8 just think about it; if you pass you will be able to pay off your student loans within 10 years :)
I've got to man the clearing line at Leeds Met - Business area.

good luck (although as it's results i'm guessing my good luck wish is a bit of a waste!)
still sure SteveH wishes you all the best too :)
Best of luck.
Some people where friggin crying there so i decided to ship out sharpish!
B in English Lit B in History C in Business studies
So i technically havn't gotten into Warwick, which I think was ment to be due to the fact I can rarely remember how to spell the name of the place ;)
My bro is up at Sunderland and he has offered to let me stay in a flat he has just brought in a new development in march and before that I will be staying in the brand spanking new uni campus overlooking the river!
How far off were you? Could be worth asking then anyway.
cheers, clive
Should get almost anywhere these days with those grades. You tried the Salford Uni music production course?
Yeah I rang up Warwick and they offered me a place as well!?
Should be getting both offers in the post tomorrow, there is an open day on the 25th for Sunderland and if its a shit hole i'll tootle off to Warwick methinks...
I don't really have a huge interest in studying music, I play bass pretty well, but to put it into perspective I can't even read music since I gave up the trumpet.

Did someone say 'falling standards'?
My written work is much better than my typeing.
I'm sorry Steve but it is now a fact that exams are harder now than 20 years ago, go read a few articles on the subject.
Nice.
Yep, go see both places. It makes a huge difference to how you will feel.
This is music production, mixing, working the decks, arranging, the real talent these days, as well as performance.
^^^^^^^
It's amusing that someone who comes across as functionally illiterate manages to get a "B" in English Lit.
BDD at A-Level. Chemistry, Physics, General Studies.
Did 2 years Environmental Chemistry at Swansea Uni, but wanted to earn money more than I wanted a degree.
Nah, REMUS got taught be pass exams, at the expense of 'actual useful stuff' (as I think has been established here a few times)
JOA, what A-Levels/Degree do you have Steve?
Mate. I got a grade 2 CSE lit.
9 years later, I wnet back and did A Levels including english lit. I did the course work, I read the books, I did the exams, but hardly went to lectures. I got an A. I sat Phsychology at the same time. I attended almost all the lectures, I did both the exams, I got most the course work, bar two pieces in. I still got an F. Yes it is a fail, but I was told I was told by the lecturer I was only 2 marks from a E pass. If I had actually handed in an incomplete peice of course work, rather than thinking I hadn't done enough so no point, I would have gotten a pass (a very s**te one but a pass).BTW, my reason for not being around a lot, and not getting all the course work in was money. I was working almosty full time to support myself while doing A levels.
*snort* You go look at some A-level papers from 20 years ago - they'll scare the crap out of you. To be fair I know nothing about any of your subjects, but the standards in A level maths and physics, and the corresponding abilities of the students turning up at uni have reduced enormously just in the 4 years I've been teaching. The profs reckon it's been a downward trend for at least the last 25 years.
My history teacher showed me some of the schools back catalogue when we were discussing this very subject... the only factor that made getting grades difficult was that there was often only one or two mark boundaries between grades.
Yep I completely flunked my poetry & drama exam and still got a B, it was by far the easiest course. History on the other hand was the hardest and the only subject I revised for.
