Answer 1

Application forms for Mac'ds are easy to get hold off.

Answer 2

As long as you still reach the requirements for your college for the courses you're taking, it shouldn't matter. Even if you don't, I'm sure if you talk to them you may be able to sort it out.

The only problem not reaching your predicted grades is that it will look bad for your school, and at the end of the day that doesn't really matter for you. You don't write on your CV what you were predicted, just what you get.

Answer 3

This is going to sound like really bad advice, but it doesn't matter. If you want to go to sixth form, and you get good enough results to get in, then thats all you need. As soon as you do A levels, GCSEs stop mattering.

Answer 4

I'm kinda in the same boat as you 'cause I think I've totally under-achieved in my exam results. Though I'm wondering if college will think less of me etc but hopefully they won't, as long as we get 5 A*s - C which I will, and it looks like you will, we should get accepted onto our chosen courses?

Answer 5

Just don't worry you have weeks to go till the results come out enjoy your freedom. By the amount of exams and range of subjects you have done i am sure you have done much better than you think. Well done for getting this far.
