Hey everyone - well done for actually TAKING the damn exams in the first place!!! I hated exams!! Like everyone else is saying - please don't fret too much if you don't get exactly what you want - sometimes you can do other things that you didn't originally have in your Grand Plan and they can work out for the best after all. I remember getting my AS results back in the day... and I got an E for IT - the head of the department actually laughed at me and said "do you seriously think I'm going to take you on next year with those results?!" The only subject I did well on was English (got an E in French!) and so I took a one-year vocational Secretarial course so I could finish my English A Level. NEVER wanted to do the secretary thing but it was the only vocational course that lasted a year and I wasn't gonig to stay in college till I was 19 for anyone!! Managed to get a D in English (the Literature exam was a farce, none of the questions were about anything we'd studied so that brought the overall mark down! Dammit!!) and passed all my exams with Distinctions in my Secretarial course. Left college at 18 and haven't been unemployed for longer than 2 weeks in 7 years. I've even started to do what I wanted to do in the first place since I was 11 - write for a music magazine (unpaid like but I don't care, I'm still living my dream in a small but very definite way!) in my spare time - and you NEVER know where these things can lead. So even though things don't always go to plan, somehow things will turn out okay and you'll still be employable, you'll still be able to earn a good living. It's totally not the end of the world - but maybe it might help to start thinking outside the box?? End of ramble. Well done to EVERYONE, whether or not you got what you wanted. Major kudos to you, I think you've all done brilliantly.
