I've worked on the clearing helpline at a uni for a couple of years now and honestly we are here to help! PLEASE don't be afraid to call.. we want to help and we understand the panic 😂 It's not as scary as it sounds we promise! X
Kimi Chaddah please could you explain this. I’m soon going into my second year of A Levels and even though I’m bright and did well at GCSE, I knows I’ve fluffed up one of my AS’s (History) and barely revised for the other two because I started too late. This isn’t my usual work ethic and I’m dreading that if I get crappy AS results, they’ll make a big difference as to what unis think of me. Anyone have any advice?
My results this year did not go to plan whatsoever, but I contacted my firm choice and I still managed to secure a place on the course I wanted! Incredibly lucky but defo something you should do before panicking :))
I got 3As at A Level, but missed my firm offer by 2 full grades (A*A*A) and insurance by 1 grade (A*AA). I was devastated to not get into my firm but hated my insurance. I was only one UMS mark off an A* in two of my As but I decided to not go through re-marks and just go through clearing. Looking back I am honestly so happy I did it this way. People I know who go to my 'dream' firm choice hate it for the course I wanted and I can't imagine being happier than I am in my Clearing choice (going into my fifth year)
Ala Ibrahim Thank you! I was really happy with it, but with my offers both containing A*s and considering I had 12 A*s at GCSE, there was a lot of pressure on me from Unis, school and family to get A*s (seems pointless now) 😂
I am an international A-Level student and results day is literally giving me so much anxiousness😪 thanks for making the video Eve, I appreciate it. Best of luck ❤️❤️
Samar Zai hello! I definitely believe that A Levels are extremely challenging, and they were a full time commitment for me. I put in my heart and soul these past two years (literally doing university level reading, all nighters, etc) However, I don't want to discourage you. Doing A Levels internationally is a struggle (emotionally, literally and financially), but it is a valued qualification worldwide, so you definitely reap what you sow. Wishing you the best in regards to what you decide to do, and ultimately, I advise you to go with your instincts and do what you believe is the best thing for you
I got my Higher results (Scottish equivalent of A-Levels) and I completely bombed them. I got CDDF. I had a conditional for uni in which I needed AABB. I knew I didn’t do the best but I didn’t think I would fail THREE of them. I will not be going to uni this year. Instead I’ll be working part time, and going to night school to get the grades I need to get into uni next year.
Hey Eve, I just wanted to say that when I discovered your channel I was stunned. I actually couldn't believe that there was someone in this world, that academically motivated, you have really put into perspective how organised I can be and have all the info on what is to come on the college road ahead, love the channel! keep up the amazing standards.
Really good advice, Eve! Remember guys, even if it doesn’t go to plan and you don’t get the grades you were hoping for... it’s not the end of the world! There are many roads that lead to Rome, and even if you don’t get the direct path to where you need to be, you will get there! Trust me on that one :)
I’m in year 12 (going into year 13 in Sept) and reading about results day is giving me second-hand nerves. My results day isn’t even for another year 😢
Bookloverlolly yeah don’t stress mate, you’re in a position right now to control how well you do because you’ve got a whole year to work hard. I wish you the best remember to work hard all year :)
Thanks! Yeah, it’s really irrational but I guess it’s because everyone is talking about it. I am planning on working hard this year and I’ve been working in summer to try and get ahead :)
Glad you've put this video together Eve! Would have helped a lot when I was waiting for results and worrying about my choices/clearing as it was such a scary daunting thought.
@@justrandomthings5052 neither but the outcome was for the best (which I didn't realise at the time). I'm having an amazing experience at what was my insurance university :)))
This is very interesting. I don't think anyone at my school ever explained what clearing was and how you did it. I've graduated university now but I know for some of my friends at school, clearing was so daunting because it was so alien to us. Thank you for helping people out!
People shouldn’t be giving you grief for being prepared I didn’t prepare when my results day happened and it went wrong for me but I’m pretty sure you will do amazing !! 💕
I already know that I’m going into clearing hahaha. I already have this app to prepare me but I found this video so useful becuase my school haven’t told me anything about what actually happens on results day if you don’t get in!!! Good to everyone though!
hi eve! I don’t know if you’ll end up reading this tonight (or ever) but if you do I just wanted to say all the best for tomorrow, for some reason good luck’s always seem to make results more intimidating or put more pressure on me so this isn’t a good luck but more a message to say you should be so proud of yourself for all the work you put into your exams because it’s helped you and so many people including myself and you really are an inspiration for us all. No matter what happens tomorrow you have worked insanely hard for this and something incredible will come of that even if it’s not immediately apparent. You will be amazing!! sending you lots of love for tomorrow & don’t be too hard on yourself I promise, promise, promise that everything will turn out okay in the end and all that work you put in will make you shine❤️❤️ xxxxx
Thank you so much for this video!!! I was stressing so much about my options after results and confused by how clearing worked! This has calmed me down so much. Thank you. This video has been a saving grace! Xx
The one thing I’d say is, if you decide not to go to your firm or your insurance, find a place at another University BEFORE you get released into clearing! This is because if you release yourself and can’t find a place elsewhere, you will have no where to go as not all Uni’s will accept you back once you release yourself! I currently work in admissions at a University during clearing so if you have any questions, please feel free to ask!
Thank you so much for explaining clearing! My school haven’t given us any help at all and you’ve made it seem so much less scary !! I love ur videos good luck on results day ❤️
I just read on Student Room that apparently the Telegraph paper will NOT have a list of unis in clearing this year so the UCAS website is the place to look! Hope this is helpful (and reliable because more stress will not be appreciated on results day)
I live in a country that doesn't have a levels, and already have a university degree, and yet I find myself obsessed with UK studytube for some reason. Good luck on results day, Eve!
Those going into Uni watching this, going through clearing following results day there will always be an opportunity getting into uni. Although you wont get into your chosen uni, you will still have such a great experience!! Great video, so informative. :) On my channel i talk about starting uni and what to expect. This whole period and transfer from A-level to Uni can be scary and stressful, so videos like this are extremely helpful :)
My friends and I all missed our grades for our first choice unis in 2013, but we all ended up at our first choice anyway. For me, I missed my A*AAA offer and got A*AAB but thankfully got accepted by a different Cambridge college to the one I applied to. So don’t panic (like I did) and try and stay calm. It’ll work out okay!
Good luck to everyone collecting results over the next few weeks❤️ I’ve just graduated from uni, I was rejected from my insurance but got into my firm choice - I didn’t get the best a-levels at all. You’ll all smash it ❤️
Hi eve!! Next year I’m taking Spanish and I’d love for you to post more videos in Spanish as I know you’re going to study it and will be surrounded by it all the time! I know it would really help me and loads of other people studying it too thanks so much x
i almost didn't watch this video because i was too stressed by the prospect of even considering this as smth that could happen hhhhh. im very glad i did !!!!!
I really want to do veterinary medicine (never got ucas offers for this course, so am entering clearing); but there might not even be a place available in clearing. (imo) It's so competitive because the majority of people applying want to become vets and so have really strong applications. But my reason for applying was just really wanting to study it - I can't imagine being a stereotypical vet my whole life, but can imagine further study, working in industry/research and loving it. But, all of the courses are tailored towards getting experience in vet practices, working with clients and their pets ect. - from the very start this is the main focus of the degree for the few unis that offer it. I really feel that that's why I never got any offers to study it, as I was truthful in my interviews and clearly wasn't passionate about the specific career - they kept going on about how they wanted to produce the best vets and there was little discussion of other available careers stemming from the degree. And the course is five years! I can't possibly know how i'm going to feel about what career I want after that time - and can't possibly predict it without having a real taste of studying the degree. I still want to do this course, but I can't imagine performing much better at the interview stage should I apply for next years entry. I got interviews at all four unis (so had the work experience and good personal statement) and passed their scenario-based online tests at all four (only about a fifth of applicants to each vet course get offered interviews) - it was just when they met me (for a twenty minute interview in a couple and in a multiple-mini interview set-up for the other two) they decided I wasn't the ideal vet student. So frustrating! I don't know what options I really have, other than reapplying next year and essentially lying at the interview and pretending to want to become the next Super Vet :/
Anyone who decides they want to change unis even when you have a confirmed place LISTEN HERE.. When you ring up your confirmed place to asked to be released, make sure they send you an email. I was ‘released’ from my confirmed place and rang up my desired Uni to ask if they had any places left.. luckily they did. However, I was still receiving emails from my released place saying ‘congratulations’ and then a shady email saying I wasn’t allowed to be released and then had 2 missed calls from that uni. I rang them back to discover the woman who I had asked to be released didn’t process my request and all of a sudden I had two confirmed uni places.. the man who I spoke to apologised and released me immediately. Clearing is not scary and there is no need to worry about it, as Eve said there are thousands of places left and it usually isn’t a race. Don’t panic, stay calm and always reassess your options before results day. They’re dealing with a lot of people so make sure you’re adamant and clear about the decisions you make!
Let’s pray for me 😂 my offer from MMU is conditional but my course is already in clearing so let’s hope they’re slightly more lenient with my results 😫😫
I need advice! So I started my GCSEs in year 9 and chose triple science, history and computer science which I thought (if I put in the effort) could be fairly easy, I thought wrong😬 I moved school in the April this year and at this point I was in year 10. I found the transition really hard trying to catch up as I had missed a month of school due to this. I couldn’t catch up with the work as: ~in history my previous school studied different topics so I had year 11 and the three months of year 10 to do this ~I’m awful at computer science and triple science was awful😫 ~on top of this I had to learn the work I had missed and have to read Macbeth for English! I struggled massively with my work and in the end I dropped triple science to food tech, which I think is easy, or I’m hoping. So I have year 11 now to learn food tech, I need to learn the whole of computer science because I cannot do that to save my life and lean the whole history course as well as reading Macbeth for English. I really do not how I’m going to cope with the revision and need advice on how to learn 3 courses in a year when I should have 3 years each to learn🤨 As well as revision at home my dad works in my school so I have two extra hours a day in school with my teachers to help. So can everyone leave advice on how to revise and how to cope with the stress? Thank you!
Not sure why i'm watching this when I got my results last year and already have a deferred place to start at my top uni choice this September, but great video Eve that sure would've put me more at ease when I went through results!! ahahah
I just started my a levels. I am taking maths, bio, phy and chem. It's been a week and I have def noticed that it takes more work and that it it so much more interesting. I haven't felt the big jump yet cause I just started but hopefully I will be able to deal with it well. You are one of my big inspirations to motivate myself to get good grades and challenge myself. Cause if u can do it, why can't I? Love u lots eve and I am patiently anticipating my IGCSE results 😛
Just made a video for my A level results too!! Was so nervous when opening my grades. It feels like it could either mean you will lead a good life or a bad life!
this was a really helpful video so thank you, my college literally gave no instructions for us of what to do if we dont get into uni so videos like this are greatly appreciated and we get our results online so we dont even go into college to get them which is even more terrifying because it;s kind of all been left to us to do
hii eve, i’m going into higher level english literature next year & i was wondering if you could make a video on how to annotate novels/write notes while reading because i’m a bit anxious about that!!
Eve, my little sister just got her National 5 exam results on Tuesday (GCSE equivalent). I am aware that of course these aren’t as important as the exams she will now sit this academic year coming, but as a person who really cares about school and exams (which I’m sure you can relate to) these exams did matter a lot to her. She received the results to see she got 6 As (we don’t get A*s so lots of these were actually of that level of grade) and a B. The B, however, was in History her favourite and best subject. After that exam she felt very confident, the most confident out of her all her exams she sat, all year she had scored in the 90%s, only losing one mark in the last mock exam they did, but for some reason this time in the exam she’s lost around 40 marks? As someone who knows my sister inside out, I am so confused and belief that surely this is wrong. She knew the course inside out, represented her school abroad on a history trip due to her passion and talent in the subject, but now is left heartbroken by this. I’ve never seen her affected by something as much as this has broken her. I really think there’s a possibility that a whole section of her paper hasn’t been graded or included in her final mark, but unfortunately in Scottish schools they can be very harsh about who they allow to go forward for a remark. I’m hoping and praying every moment of every day that she gets it remarked. Many of her friends are celebrating getting straight As and will go back to school to be rewarded for this and she just has to see all this happening around her :( any words of advice I could pass on to her would be really appreciated x
Catriona Campbell just remind her to look to the future. One B grade is not going to affect her long term at all. Tell her that in a few years she’ll hopefully be doing something she loves and this grade won’t affect that. I hope she manages to get a remark but if not a B is still amazing :)
hLyrics Yes, I know and she knows that thankfully it won’t affect much. Every day I’m telling her that everything will work out and that really this is something that won’t matter at all to her one day, but at the moment her pride has been hurt so badly. She doesn’t even want to go back to school. It all seems so dramatic, but I was hoping that someone like Eve (who I see A LOT of me and my sister in her personality, I’m now even a Language student at uni like Eve will be soon😂) could sympathise for her because at the moment there has been a dreadful lack of communication from the school to support her...
Unfortunately because history is a much more subjective subject than maths and sciences, apparently statistically your grade can differ by two grades either way depending on which examiner marks it. It could be worth a remark but you would be taking the same risk again, as in it could go down further (although by what you are saying this sounds unlikely). I’m sure things will work out for her whatever as she sounds very bright xx
I am so nervous for results day , literally am feeling nauseous thinking about it , anyway love you EVE , best of luck for all of us 🌟🥂🎉 Also could you make this video but for GCSE results day as well 😂👍🏻 thank you 😊
Matt Leonard I am doing biology chemistry and classical civilisation , I know they are a weird mix but I love all three subjects to bits and I think having a diverse subject like classics can open up more fields in the future , are you also doing A Levels ?
Hamza Farooq you’re absolutely right - it’s all about keeping as many doors open as possible! I’ve been there and done that ha! Working as a doctor now! If you have any questions be sure to let me know here or on my channel 😁
What I would also say is that some universities might work slightly differently in terms of what they call their course so do your research beforehand. For example, Lancaster University might appear to only offer German but they have a flexible degree programme where you could add Spanish once you get there. Just something to keep in mind xx
Good luck to everyone who are expecting results on results day hope everyone gets the best grades possible my btec results are coming up also so we are pretty much in all together with the same motive which is to achieve the best grades possible
Great video! I am sharing it with my students - it seems advice goes down better when given from a young person rather than a middle-aged foggy educator ;-)
I know that for all you A level peeps this is going to be really lame but I never went down that route and decided to do a more hands on college course and I was really stressing out about not even managing to get a pass but I did and I couldn't be happier and I'm going to do a level 3 course which is a 2 year one and I couldn't be any happier
Great video but the thing is, getting a result you dont’t want is never, ever the end of the world or a disaster. You can resit etc, and it is only a tiny part of who you are.
After a few months of following you, ruby and jade i gotta say the british school system is pretty messed up. There is so much pressure. I guess i’m pretty happy with the dutch system after all??
My school shut down right after I graduated so I don't know what to do and where to get my individual grades so I'm not sure where to get my results with the stamp on them. I don't live in the UK or in the EU so I have no idea what to do. I emailed our vice principal, who is responsible for holding our physical results and I haven't received any word from her and I have no way of contacting her other than her school email and I have no idea if I should head over to the British Council to get it because of the chance that it's not there. What should I do in this case? BTW I got EEC in my A levels and my fam ain't that happy about that, including me.
I emailed a university, well known about swapping courses and asked when I could, they said all the way through results day and clearing, I'd be able to swap if I emailed them. I went to email them and they said I couldn't anymore with no explanation. I then realised they had my results by now... Oh no :(
I've worked on the clearing helpline at a uni for a couple of years now and honestly we are here to help! PLEASE don't be afraid to call.. we want to help and we understand the panic 😂 It's not as scary as it sounds we promise! X
This is perfect! Literally no one has explained clearing at my school so I needed this
Eve Patchett glad you have found the information you needed good luck on your next educational chapter
Predicted Grades> Actual Grades
Kimi Chaddah please could you explain this. I’m soon going into my second year of A Levels and even though I’m bright and did well at GCSE, I knows I’ve fluffed up one of my AS’s (History) and barely revised for the other two because I started too late. This isn’t my usual work ethic and I’m dreading that if I get crappy AS results, they’ll make a big difference as to what unis think of me. Anyone have any advice?
Repeating your AS exams at the end of this year again is a good idea !
Adam Weston you mean during the autumn term or something? I’ll see how I do tomorrow!
Adam Weston thanks for the advice!
It'sCharley yea autumn so it doesnt clash with summer exams good luck!
My results this year did not go to plan whatsoever, but I contacted my firm choice and I still managed to secure a place on the course I wanted! Incredibly lucky but defo something you should do before panicking :))
Thats actually helpful

Orla Tarn wow all As at A levels is amazing. It's my dream if not higher. Doing a levels rn
Ala Ibrahim Thank you! I was really happy with it, but with my offers both containing A*s and considering I had 12 A*s at GCSE, there was a lot of pressure on me from Unis, school and family to get A*s (seems pointless now) 😂
Orla Tarn In the end everything works out so there isn't much to worey about as long as ur best effort was put in!
Orla Tarn what subjects did you do at a level? What course did you apply for at uni? Amazing grades!
stay in school after getting results Class of 2020 getting their results via email- 👁👄👁
I am an international A-Level student and results day is literally giving me so much anxiousness😪 thanks for making the video Eve, I appreciate it. Best of luck ❤️❤️

Remember guys, even if it doesn’t go to plan and you don’t get the grades you were hoping for... it’s not the end of the world!
There are many roads that lead to Rome, and even if you don’t get the direct path to where you need to be, you will get there!

Oh results day... the stress is real
Results day has really sped up on us this year...
Ah Eve this is so helpful! I’m so nervous about results day so hoping this will help on Thursday! Downloaded and using the app!
I just read on Student Room that apparently the Telegraph paper will NOT have a list of unis in clearing this year so the UCAS website is the place to look! Hope this is helpful (and reliable because more stress will not be appreciated on results day)
Hey, you. I hope you get your target grades and if you don't, don't worry. Everything will be okay. Good luck everyone!
It's my results day tomorrow and I'd rather take a scooter to the ankle then see them, had about 40 panic attacks already like x
Results Day is literally the worst day ever - no matter the grades you get! 😫 Good Luck to everyone! 💗✨
Pray for me Sister ❤
Hello Eve, Are You Keeping A Video Diary For Next Week Up Until Results Day ?
I live in a country that doesn't have a levels, and already have a university degree, and yet I find myself obsessed with UK studytube for some reason. Good luck on results day, Eve!
Thank you, Eve!
Good luck to you on Thursday
Those going into Uni watching this, going through clearing following results day there will always be an opportunity getting into uni. Although you wont get into your chosen uni, you will still have such a great experience!! Great video, so informative. :)

I’m praying my UCAS updates because some people’s don’t 😭 I just need to know 😫
This app is a godsend thank you so much I feel a lot less stressed out 😭❤️
Hi eve!! Next year I’m taking Spanish and I’d love for you to post more videos in Spanish as I know you’re going to study it and will be surrounded by it all the time! I know it would really help me and loads of other people studying it too thanks so much x
Eve. Very helpful and sensible advice. Thank you.Vivien
i almost didn't watch this video because i was too stressed by the prospect of even considering this as smth that could happen hhhhh. im very glad i did !!!!!
I really want to do veterinary medicine (never got ucas offers for this course, so am entering clearing); but there might not even be a place available in clearing. (imo) It's so competitive because the majority of people applying want to become vets and so have really strong applications. But my reason for applying was just really wanting to study it - I can't imagine being a stereotypical vet my whole life, but can imagine further study, working in industry/research and loving it. But, all of the courses are tailored towards getting experience in vet practices, working with clients and their pets ect. - from the very start this is the main focus of the degree for the few unis that offer it. I really feel that that's why I never got any offers to study it, as I was truthful in my interviews and clearly wasn't passionate about the specific career - they kept going on about how they wanted to produce the best vets and there was little discussion of other available careers stemming from the degree. And the course is five years! I can't possibly know how i'm going to feel about what career I want after that time - and can't possibly predict it without having a real taste of studying the degree. I still want to do this course, but I can't imagine performing much better at the interview stage should I apply for next years entry. I got interviews at all four unis (so had the work experience and good personal statement) and passed their scenario-based online tests at all four (only about a fifth of applicants to each vet course get offered interviews) - it was just when they met me (for a twenty minute interview in a couple and in a multiple-mini interview set-up for the other two) they decided I wasn't the ideal vet student. So frustrating! I don't know what options I really have, other than reapplying next year and essentially lying at the interview and pretending to want to become the next Super Vet :/
Great advice! I was told by my tutor that UCAS updates track at midnight but it often crashes and people can’t often get ‘on to’ track until 7am.
Anyone who decides they want to change unis even when you have a confirmed place LISTEN HERE.. When you ring up your confirmed place to asked to be released, make sure they send you an email. I was ‘released’ from my confirmed place and rang up my desired Uni to ask if they had any places left.. luckily they did. However, I was still receiving emails from my released place saying ‘congratulations’ and then a shady email saying I wasn’t allowed to be released and then had 2 missed calls from that uni. I rang them back to discover the woman who I had asked to be released didn’t process my request and all of a sudden I had two confirmed uni places.. the man who I spoke to apologised and released me immediately. Clearing is not scary and there is no need to worry about it, as Eve said there are thousands of places left and it usually isn’t a race. Don’t panic, stay calm and always reassess your options before results day. They’re dealing with a lot of people so make sure you’re adamant and clear about the decisions you make!
Let’s pray for me 😂 my offer from MMU is conditional but my course is already in clearing so let’s hope they’re slightly more lenient with my results 😫😫

What course is it
I need advice!
So I started my GCSEs in year 9 and chose triple science, history and computer science which I thought (if I put in the effort) could be fairly easy, I thought wrong😬
I moved school in the April this year and at this point I was in year 10. I found the transition really hard trying to catch up as I had missed a month of school due to this. I couldn’t catch up with the work as:
~in history my previous school studied different topics so I had year 11 and the three months of year 10 to do this
~I’m awful at computer science and triple science was awful😫
~on top of this I had to learn the work I had missed and have to read Macbeth for English!
I struggled massively with my work and in the end I dropped triple science to food tech, which I think is easy, or I’m hoping. So I have year 11 now to learn food tech, I need to learn the whole of computer science because I cannot do that to save my life and lean the whole history course as well as reading Macbeth for English.
I really do not how I’m going to cope with the revision and need advice on how to learn 3 courses in a year when I should have 3 years each to learn🤨
As well as revision at home my dad works in my school so I have two extra hours a day in school with my teachers to help.
So can everyone leave advice on how to revise and how to cope with the stress?
Thank you!
A L thank you so much! I will definitely use this advice, sound very helpful!😊💜
Gabrielle Harris it’s awful isn’t it😂 Learned absolutely nothing these past two years😂
Not sure why i'm watching this when I got my results last year and already have a deferred place to start at my top uni choice this September, but great video Eve that sure would've put me more at ease when I went through results!! ahahah
Great advice for the viewers like always great work keep it up really informative and educational for people
I just started my a levels. I am taking maths, bio, phy and chem. It's been a week and I have def noticed that it takes more work and that it it so much more interesting. I haven't felt the big jump yet cause I just started but hopefully I will be able to deal with it well. You are one of my big inspirations to motivate myself to get good grades and challenge myself. Cause if u can do it, why can't I? Love u lots eve and I am patiently anticipating my IGCSE results 😛
Good luck - A levels are a step up but as long as you’re prepared for it then you’ll be fine!
Ala Ibrahim I'm taking the exact same subjects as you❤
Abdulrahman Ahmed Heyyyyy haha. 😎
Ala Ibrahim good luck, starting with the same next month
Rocky R2 That's great and have we met somewhere else on UA-cam before? I feel like I recognize your user name maybe Lydia's (Violetta) video?
Just made a video for my A level results too!! Was so nervous when opening my grades. It feels like it could either mean you will lead a good life or a bad life!
this was a really helpful video so thank you, my college literally gave no instructions for us of what to do if we dont get into uni so videos like this are greatly appreciated and we get our results online so we dont even go into college to get them which is even more terrifying because it;s kind of all been left to us to do
What if I do well but then I get stabbed with a screwdriver? What do I do then?
good luck to you eve, i'm sure you'll be fine :)
Thank you so much Eve! My teachers were no help so this is a life saver 💖
Good luck guys but just don’t stress too much.
A-level results day is giving me grey hairs I swear, the stress is getting to me!😂
hii eve, i’m going into higher level english literature next year & i was wondering if you could make a video on how to annotate novels/write notes while reading because i’m a bit anxious about that!!
Gosh I’m bricking it for results day it’s in like 5 days. Good luck to you too for your a level results😬❤️
This was such a useful video!! Please could you do a video about personal statements x
This video is perfect, thank you and good luck!
Eve, my little sister just got her National 5 exam results on Tuesday (GCSE equivalent). I am aware that of course these aren’t as important as the exams she will now sit this academic year coming, but as a person who really cares about school and exams (which I’m sure you can relate to) these exams did matter a lot to her. She received the results to see she got 6 As (we don’t get A*s so lots of these were actually of that level of grade) and a B. The B, however, was in History her favourite and best subject. After that exam she felt very confident, the most confident out of her all her exams she sat, all year she had scored in the 90%s, only losing one mark in the last mock exam they did, but for some reason this time in the exam she’s lost around 40 marks? As someone who knows my sister inside out, I am so confused and belief that surely this is wrong. She knew the course inside out, represented her school abroad on a history trip due to her passion and talent in the subject, but now is left heartbroken by this. I’ve never seen her affected by something as much as this has broken her. I really think there’s a possibility that a whole section of her paper hasn’t been graded or included in her final mark, but unfortunately in Scottish schools they can be very harsh about who they allow to go forward for a remark. I’m hoping and praying every moment of every day that she gets it remarked. Many of her friends are celebrating getting straight As and will go back to school to be rewarded for this and she just has to see all this happening around her :( any words of advice I could pass on to her would be really appreciated x
Catriona Campbell just remind her to look to the future. One B grade is not going to affect her long term at all. Tell her that in a few years she’ll hopefully be doing something she loves and this grade won’t affect that. I hope she manages to get a remark but if not a B is still amazing :)
hLyrics Yes, I know and she knows that thankfully it won’t affect much. Every day I’m telling her that everything will work out and that really this is something that won’t matter at all to her one day, but at the moment her pride has been hurt so badly. She doesn’t even want to go back to school. It all seems so dramatic, but I was hoping that someone like Eve (who I see A LOT of me and my sister in her personality, I’m now even a Language student at uni like Eve will be soon😂) could sympathise for her because at the moment there has been a dreadful lack of communication from the school to support her...
Unfortunately because history is a much more subjective subject than maths and sciences, apparently statistically your grade can differ by two grades either way depending on which examiner marks it. It could be worth a remark but you would be taking the same risk again, as in it could go down further (although by what you are saying this sounds unlikely). I’m sure things will work out for her whatever as she sounds very bright xx
I am so nervous for results day , literally am feeling nauseous thinking about it , anyway love you EVE , best of luck for all of us 🌟🥂🎉 Also could you make this video but for GCSE results day as well 😂👍🏻 thank you 😊
Hamza Farooq good luck with your GCSE results! Which A levels are you doing?
Matt Leonard I am doing biology chemistry and classical civilisation , I know they are a weird mix but I love all three subjects to bits and I think having a diverse subject like classics can open up more fields in the future , are you also doing A Levels ?
Hamza Farooq you’re absolutely right - it’s all about keeping as many doors open as possible!
I’ve been there and done that ha! Working as a doctor now! If you have any questions be sure to let me know here or on my channel 😁
Matt Leonard oh wow , you are a doctor , that is what I aspire to be as well , and definitely I will ask questions 😂 thank you 😊
What I would also say is that some universities might work slightly differently in terms of what they call their course so do your research beforehand. For example, Lancaster University might appear to only offer German but they have a flexible degree programme where you could add Spanish once you get there. Just something to keep in mind xx
Good luck to everyone who are expecting results on results day hope everyone gets the best grades possible my btec results are coming up also so we are pretty much in all together with the same motive which is to achieve the best grades possible
Loved this, Eve!!!! xx
Great video! I am sharing it with my students - it seems advice goes down better when given from a young person rather than a middle-aged foggy educator ;-)
I know that for all you A level peeps this is going to be really lame but I never went down that route and decided to do a more hands on college course and I was really stressing out about not even managing to get a pass but I did and I couldn't be happier and I'm going to do a level 3 course which is a 2 year one and I couldn't be any happier
Results day is so soon...
saved this to watch it today, the day before gcse results! agh
Panic watching this lmao I just realised i have no idea how clearing even works 💀
I'm only just going into year 11 and i'm already stressed about exams. I suppose it serves as motivation really. Xx
samee
yay love your vids eve! so helpful xx
Good luck Eve! I’m terrified
Great video but the thing is, getting a result you dont’t want is never, ever the end of the world or a disaster. You can resit etc, and it is only a tiny part of who you are.
Can you make a video on what to read for wider reading for a level english lit and what you found useful
After a few months of following you, ruby and jade i gotta say the british school system is pretty messed up. There is so much pressure. I guess i’m pretty happy with the dutch system after all??
My school shut down right after I graduated so I don't know what to do and where to get my individual grades so I'm not sure where to get my results with the stamp on them. I don't live in the UK or in the EU so I have no idea what to do. I emailed our vice principal, who is responsible for holding our physical results and I haven't received any word from her and I have no way of contacting her other than her school email and I have no idea if I should head over to the British Council to get it because of the chance that it's not there. What should I do in this case? BTW I got EEC in my A levels and my fam ain't that happy about that, including me.
Where's your lamp from? It's so pretty haha x
Is it worth making a clearing account, if your insurance choice is unconditional? Stupid question, but my brain frazzled rn.
Umme Salma Tahir I keep thinking my unconditional will change suddenly and tell me I just deluded myself into believing it was there
This video is going to have to be my lifeline on results day
I emailed a university, well known about swapping courses and asked when I could, they said all the way through results day and clearing, I'd be able to swap if I emailed them. I went to email them and they said I couldn't anymore with no explanation. I then realised they had my results by now... Oh no :(
