Results in March
Posted on March 12th, 2009 by Matt.
Ok, so, I’ve just got my results, and how am I feeling?
To be honest with you, pretty shit, actually.
As a medical applicant, you’ll know that you need AAB, including Chemistry, to study medicine almost anywhere in the UK. Well, let’s just say that my chemistry grades aren’t looking too clever. I got a C average for last year (206/300), even after resitting 2 of the modules – I went up a single mark, and grade, for each. But, in Chains, Rings &? Spectroscopy, I got 61/90 – which is 2 marks from a B.
I’ve done some quick calculations, and, assuming my math is correct, I can only get a C overall for A2. Shit. That’s no good. So, what do I resit? Well, I got a B in HFHF, a B in FC, and a C in CR (after resits), so I don’t really think that resitting either HFHF or FC would be advantageous. But, maybe resitting CR or CRS (the first A2 module) would be alright. Problem is, at ?17 per resit, I can only really afford to resit one of them. I think, because of how recently I’ve done it, I’m going to have another pop at Chains, Rings & Spectroscopy.
My math wasn’t too bad, I got 71%, which comes out as a B for Core 1. Keep that up, and I get a nice 50 UCAS points to keep me happy! I was aiming for an A, but a B isn’t too bad. I could even make up those lost 9 points – from 2 remaining exams (each worth 100), I need 169 to get an A – that’s only 84.5 on each paper!
HEFC Human Biology was best, though, I got a Distinction in my first module, Cell Biology, and I think I’m on track to continue the high standard of work in this module, Human Physiology.
Matt needs to figure out a way to increase his grade average in chemistry – and fast!
