Icanhandthemback. - Such a great pity that the system of AS levels was stopped by Gove and Co, If we still had those in place it would have been so much more straight forward to determine this years A level grades.
My g.son is in an unusual position - he is autistic and attended a special school up to GCSE's as a weekly boarder. Then he requested to go to local college to do his A levels, so he could live at home. They would only permit him to start one in the first year, commencing a second alongside it for the second year. Thus at the end of the third year he had two A levels under his Belt. B for Maths and A for physics. He had by then also finished first year of Chemistry - his chosen subject for future study, and on the second year of that iCollege suggested that he take a fast-track one year A level in Further Maths He had always been very disappointed with his B in Maths.
This means that when these final two A level results come out tomorrow it will be on his 20th birthday. So, no way could he contemplate a further year. His University of choice has asked for A in Chemistry. At his mocks he got 98% and knew where he lost that two percent. He was very much hoping to achieve an A* at the exam.
We know he has been projected A for chemistry and A for Further Maths - so are now very hopeful that we can celebrate his twentieth birthday tomorrow evening with full congratulations.
Be so glad when tomorrow morning arrives.
Good Luck to any of your g.children awaiting results tomorrow and the following Thursday. Normally, a difficult time of year - but this year so much more so.
