A-level results?

I think I'm trying to collect them, although I will never be able to beat holnrew the Facepalm king.

I did AS levels, not very well, (C Biology, E Chemistry, E Comms studies, failed maths), quit for a year and went back for an AVCE in business, for which I got BC (equiv to two A levels), but I failed two units due to other people being shit, could got at least one A otherwise.

Nevermind. I'm doing engineering with the OU at the moment, struggling at the whole self starting thing tbh.

I did well in my A Levels but really struggled through Uni and ended up drifting for ages. My current job is only through coincidence and knowing the right person at the right time.

I'm always envious of people with a set career in mind and a clear path, but moreover of people with the drive to see it through.

God, I suck...

Sounds familiar...

I did well in my A Levels but flunked Uni completely and ended up working as a lab technician for ages. My current job is only though not having any proper qualifications at anything and just falling back on what I can do to scrape by.

I'm not envious of people with a set career path, but I am of people with more drive than I have, sometimes.

heh - I can spell END with my A levels.

I also got 3 GCSEs first time around. (between 3 sets of resits I've got 18 GCSEs - most below C)

I dropped out of UNI in the second year. (which I got into by virtue of positive discrimination - they thought I had a girl's name)

and took 3 attempts to pass my driving test.

If anyone's kids are going through a bad patch cos of exam grades, please point them to this post: I'm self employed and have earned six figures for about a decade now; before that I lived by one rule - earn more £k per year than my age... it took 2 years after leaving uni to reach that goal.

Daughter just got an A star in Spanish. But since it is what we speak at home it was easy for her. GCSEs on the 22nd so still nervous. She's predicted 2as and the rest a stars. I got ABCC and one Level. And was dumb enough to suffer 4 years of chemistry at uni. Got so bored with it I spent all my time learning French and Spanish and ended up with a Desmond (2:2)

I got kicked out of kindergarden and never even learnt to speak my own name let alone spell it. I earn 3 times the whole world's GDP each month and have a 10 foot long cock.

32 yrs ago for me-Biology, Geology and Geography and I thought I was going to be a geologist, well, more specifically, a palaeontologist but I discovered the guitar at 17 and swapped trilobites for stratocasters!!
@Bucket - what did you get Connor and all the best with the guitar course too.

I did mine 21 years ago. Blimey.

I got ABC which I thought was nice. Better than ABB or ABD, obviously.
