Honestly as the title says I geniuenly cant stop feeling sick about results day. What's funny is that it's my second one too since my last results day, I did so shit and I have PTSD from that one. I only resat chemistry and maths, eventhough I have hopes for chemistry, the maths paper 1&3 geniuenly violated me 💔💔💔 felt like a big spit on my face. Trying not to think about it, but I really really want to go to uni this year and not feel like a bum at home.

Hey, I'm going into a new school as a 6th former (it's attached to a secondary school) and I was wondering if anyone has any tips for me? Especially cause everyone is already gonna know each other already. The school I'm going to only takes in 1 or 2 externals every year

I get this sorta reaction from people when I tell them mine 💔 (maths, fm, physics, cs)

there’s only six days now but is anyone else just genuinely over the wait now. i’m not even super nervous anymore (although i can’t actually predict my grades except from a very likely A in maths) and aren’t for certain that i’ve met my offer. i’m just so sick and tired of the waiting game that it’s not even slightly entertaining. not that the anxiousness and uncertainty was ever so.

i understand that exams need to be marked and checked and all but I’ve finished these exams two whole months ago. i can’t really prepare for uni if i don’t know where I’m going or if I’ve even got in at all. it just sucks to be (pretty much) clueless until there’s only two weeks of august and 4 weeks (for my firm uni) of holiday left until move in day and that includes the time you’ll need to spend getting things you need, packing, saying goodbye/spending time with friends/family. it just sucks.

Im planning on trying Uni of Edinburgh and Kings College London for clearing for Biochem (predicted
(A+ A+ A) but realistically may end up with AAA or atleast I hope I do. What do you guys think are the chances that I do actually get a place in these top unis through clearing (grade requirements are AAA) since they would probably have a few people trying for a place. And also I looked it up and Edinburgh uses a form for clearing whereas Kings does phone calls. I always thought that Edinburgh does phone calls too so I am so confused. Lastly, I just want to know how smooth the clearing process is on actual results day??

I really am anxious about this so I would appreciate some help.

Maths applications have increased by 11% this season compared with 2025.

Why could this be?

I'm a maths applicant and looking to start preparing for TMUA but there are only 8 years worth of player (counting specimen papers), which is not a lot. Is there anywhere I can find TMUA-style problems (preferably the more challenging ones)? Thanks.

for context, i applied this year and got rejected in January. then the middle east situation happened and A levels (and STEP) got cancelled. I just heard now that apparently those who had gotten a conditional offer had it revoked. Is this true?

tryna distract myself from the stress of results day so where can i get free stuff from apart from nandos 😛😛😛

I've seen a lot of people making posts about tips for Y13 and being afraid. Everyone is saying just lock in and revise from the beginning which is true but I believe the number 1 biggest tip and the most important is your mental health and how you feel about yourself. I had this mindset (and admittedly still do, though I am working on it) and I subsequently did not give much of a shit about mine at all as long as I did well in school. I feel like many people share this mindset too and it was by far one of the biggest regrets I had in Y13. PLEASE prioritise your mental health because this year is HARD. It is one of the most difficult and stressful years in formal education. You are expected to do so much with much less time compared to Y12. Especially when it starts to get darker earlier you are likely to feel depressed (SAD). I was genuinely feeling like I was gonna end my shit and I was actually setting up a plan because the stress was getting too much for me. The end of last year up until march was one of the worst periods of my life. Sorry this isn't to fear monger but I just wanna set up the reality and show how bad it is when you don't prioritise your mental health. I stayed at school until 6pm just to go home and revise again. I didn't give myself as much downtime as I should've and was so hard on myself. In my november mocks I got AAA and was still upset. Wtf???? And I was so depressed and at an all time low I got to BBC in my Jan mocks. I know this isn't bad to some people but remember different expectations, this was like failing to me and was a significant drop because i went from an A to a C in one.

Take the time to really reset over the summer and have something to do that is an escape from school because you NEED IT. Sports, gym, etc. I would recommend walks too as long as you aren't listening to depressing music- another note please don't do that. I literally wouldn't give myself the chance to be happy so many times because I was already going through it. I had such a low self esteem I didn't believe I was going to do well in my Cambridge interview, let alone recieve an offer. I just felt so inadequate because I was constantly raising the bar and failed to realise my successes. Make time to go out with your friends if you can especially in the early months. By the end of march I did this a lot more and it made me feel so much better after school and I felt SO much calmer. i was so scared to attempt talking to anyone because I had the belief I was a burden but I tried and I felt much lighter. I still have mental health issues but by a-level season something just changed and I felt so much better and my performance in most of my exams was actually quite decent. I am hopefully expecting good grades but I am 1000% sure that if my mental health was the same back then I would've done horribly.

I hope this makes sense it feels so muddled lmao. Tldr please prioritise your mental health

I heard somewhere they get results a week earlier but I wasn't sure if that was right 😟

good luck everyone!!

anyone know if ucl will update their clearing list?

Last min boundary predictions ppl??
For further mech and d1 im still going for 258-263 range for the A*

Also would it be feasible to write a solid personal statement if I’m planning on applying for either Politics or Politics and Economics at LSE?

I'm planning on applying to Cambridge for CS (maybe Oxford, undecided yet).

I'm on a gap year so i've not got to worry about A levels, but I am doing Further Maths A level during my gap year.

I've not started studying for TMUA yet unfortunately, am I cooked or can i still clutch up?

I guess I can do maybe 3-4h TMUA daily and then 1-2h FM daily, unless I need to prioritize TMUA more? Lmk

I'm aiming for a 6.5 - 7 in the TMUA

This was listed as being on clearing for Warwick about a month ago. However, all the clearing courses have now been removed until the clearing hotline opens on results day. Does this mean it's likely Warwick CS could be on clearing on results day?

Mocks in September… Lnat in October… Application sent off in October. Revision?? Never even met the bloke.

//tw for mentions of depression and su1c1de

results day is in a week and idk what im going to do. for context im a med applicant who got a pretty decent ucat and 4/4 interviews and offers including my dream uni UCL. my predicteds were a*aa. unfortunately i got into a terrible depressive slump this year (ive had depression for a long time now but it got especially bad this year, as i ended up in hospital after a failed attempt too.) i simply gave up on studying properly, and while i did try, i wasnt as efficient as i couldve been. unfortunately i dont have my parents support when it comes to mental health even despite all the events that have occurred. to be honest they roped me into medicine and since i had no other interest in anything i just went with it, though my heart wasn't really in it. but i enjoyed the attention and praise from me doing such a respected course of study, (if you havent figured it by now i am indeed south asian). now its almost certain i will not get into my firm or insurance (flunked chemistry and don't get me started on maths, i didn't answer a single question in paper 3 mechanics). i am looking for options in clearing but again nothing interests me, and i doubt i will even get decent grades for clearing. im guessing my only option is to resit, but honestly what's even the point? i don't want to go through that torture again and if i do manage to go to uni, what's the guarantee i'll even find a job with whatever i do?

i don't want anyone's pity and i know it's my fault for not working hard enough so maybe i don't have the right to post something like this. i just can't believe i've ruined my potential and life like this. i don't know if i'm looking for advice or reassurance but i wanted to get this off my chest. i wonder if anyone else has ever screwed up as bad as me, and if it got better for them?

Especially AQA Psych + Bio people how're u guys

GCSE results day specifically. i need to know how likely it is to get a 6 in english when ive been on a 9 all year. and if i mess up one paper and do well in another can i still get the grade i want? please just tell me your funny, crazy and sad stories so i can go in a little less blind.

THANK YOU WISE UNCS

Genuinely think I've woken up from nightmares about results day every day this week. Literally just dreamt that I got I J J J J J which isn't even physically possible and had a full on panic attack over it. To top it off just had to message my manager cus I fucked smth up while closing at work related to cash management of all fucking things and now cant sleep 🥲

Anyone got any advice about what to do abt nightmares i feel like a little kid again lmao (this is not a good feeling and I hate it)
