AS/A level results day 14/08/08

[Alien]

Hey Y'all, remember the thread from last year about GCSE results?
Well the school year has come and gone, so now it's time for an AS-level thread How many people here have done AS-levels, and when do you get your results? Mine are this coming thursday!

The subjects I took were:
Computing
Maths (Mechanics)
Electronics
Chemistry (It was the only other thing I could take to fit with them )

And I'm wondering what I got.. Although sometimes I prefer not knowing

G'luck to the rest of you AS-level students out there!

Ps, the AS-levels are the ones that you get the yesr before A-levels!

[Oleg]

Good luck, I hope your results are good

I'll be seeing a LOT of A-Level results this week, as I work at a university and will be going through all of our potential new students this week to see if they've made it.

You're probably thinking about university too, it's nearly time to be getting your applications in (assuming you want to stay in education of course, it isn't for everyone!).

[Alien]

Yes I'll be going to university

I don;t even know what I want to do yet though.. Something computery ;D

Perhaps computer game development?

If I remember rightly, games development is one of those areas where there are a lot more graduates than jobs. I may be wrong though, not my area.
Anyway, I would recommend choosing your subject based on what you enjoy, not on employment prospects. Having ANY degree is a significant boost to your employability (though you still might find yourself working in crappy call centres and such for 2 years after graduating, that's quite normal )

So, did you HoF?

A surprisingly quiet day for me, everything was quite straightforward for once

[Alien]

Heya, sorry I was away for the weekend
My results were as follows:

Chemistry: C
Maths: A
Electronics: A
Computing: A

Remember thes are at AS-level, so A*s aren;t attainable until next year

[Oleg]

Very nice, great work

I guess you're dropping Chemistry for A-Level
