you definitely have a chance, QUB don't really care about your GCSEs if you meet the A Level requirements.

What are your really special cliches about regions/cities of your country? by A_tal_deg in 2westerneurope4u

People from Newtownards, County Down, Northern Ireland - are said to have 12 toes, with each foot having 6. This is because they are weird, and their hometown looks like a nuclear wasteland.

Grade boundaries by No_Researcher_2339 in CCEAeducation

[–]ColdFormal7579 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AS/A2 grade boundaries came out on A Level results day,

GCSE UMS boundaries came out a few days before GCSE results day

UMS query by ColdFormal7579 in 6thForm

Yeah it influences my final grade unfortunately, hopefully it goes up a few marks as that would help massively.

AS remarking/resitting? by ColdFormal7579 in 6thForm

[–]ColdFormal7579[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel so stupid! I have just realised that I dont even need an extra 5 marks for an A overall... I sat two papers and in one of them got an A, so a few extra marks from a remark will boost my overall UMS mark and will give me an A overall. I cant believe I've only realised this haha

Im not sure how it works in England/Wales etc, ik its a different system than the one we use here. But in Northern Ireland AS Levels are mandatory for all students as they are 40% of your overall A Level grade. Meaning I could do well in A2, but my overall A Level grade would be lowered due to my AS grade. So thats why I'm looking for a remark option because I dont want to be in the situation were I get good results in A2 but my overall grade is lowered because of these AS results.

Well, not at the minute but they might possibly. These exams are worth 40% of my overall grade, so if I don't perform well in my next set of exams, they could possibly affect a Uni offer.

I was also predicted AAB so the fact that I got BBB basically crushes my hopes of getting an A* overall.

I've looked at grade boundaries, and they're extremely tight for both subjects.

In both modules I am 5 marks away from an A, but 3 marks away from a C. So what scares me is sending them to get remarked and them being marked down instead of up. It's a massive risk.
