It’s that time of the biannual cycle again, so here’s my AS results:
Maths: A
284 UMS ≈ 95%
Physics: A
288 UMS ≈ 96%
Chemistry: A
289 UMS ≈ 96%
Economics B
155 UMS ≈ 78%
Philosophy & ethics: B
156 UMS ≈ 78%
(Individual module marks for the June season will be at the bottom, after the ‘read more’ break)

So what do I think of it? When I opened them I wasn’t really happy, because I was hoping for five As (because I’m a cocky bastard). That was like an hour ago, and now I’m not too bothered, pretty happy that the As are in the proper subjects (there, I said it). I might retake economics 2 and/or ethics, but it will be a tedious process, rendering me having to do ethics for a third time and never being free from economics in my school life.

These results were all a matter of pride for me, as these results are good nonetheless, however, I am a bit worried about any Oxbridge application or applying to other high profile unis, but I’m not counting on getting in to Oxbridge anyway. In summary: to save myself from being a whiny prick, I’m alright with these, it’s just the shock of diminished bragging rights. I hope those reading this that are on the same boat did well, and are not hating me for complaining if I beat them.
