My son's AS levels are this year's worry!

Good luck to all you worried parents! Just keep in mind that it really isn't the end of the world if they don't get the results they want or need. There's always re-sits, clearing, and other uni choices. Education isn't as final as it was a few years ago and kids that are determined to get on in life will do so one way or another. It sounds as though all of you who are waiting have kids who are smart and applied in their attitudes to their futures so I'm sure they'll all do just fine anyway.

No - I'm not Bea's mum (thank the Lord), but I'm lookinf for moral support from FMs over the next couple of days. Anything you can think of to help me throught will be gratefully appreciated.
My older son gets his A level results on Thursday. He needs certain grades to get into the university he really wants to go to, and I'm so afraid he won't get them and it will be a VERY traumatic day on Thursday.
OH is supportive, but a little fed up with me wittering on, plus I don't want to show my son how much I'm fretting.
Is anyone else in the same boat? Just to talk about how I'm feeling to anyone who wants to listen will be helpful.
The week after my other son's GCSE results come out, but am not so worried about them - he will still be able to go to 6th form - so it doesn't seem so final as the A level results.

Hi moomin
I too am waiting with baited breath on Thursday my daughter is waiting on A Level results and my nerves are kicking in i will be beside myself on Thursday waiting for her to ring me when she goes to school to get results
She needs 3 B grades or above to get her chosen degree course not easy by anyones standards,as a family with have been through a tramatic time this year when she was studying etc,and i know she lost all interest but pulled herself together.
If she hasnt got enough its not the end of the world she can repeat and go next year,its not i am desperate for her to get grades,i just dont want her to have any more disappointment or upset than what she and the family have been through.
I love her and am so proud of her,and i am sure you are your son,its mainly their feelings we are concerned about,not the grades.
SO good luck to him and eveyone esle whos children are waiting on results,i will say a wee prayer they do well and our happy and healthly when i say one for my daughter

He also tells me he can go on the UCAS site on the morning to check them anyway?
Budge up - I need to sit among fellow worriers!!
The results are up on the UCAS site at modnight on Wednesday/Thursday. Well, not the results as such, just whether you have got your choice or not.
I know this because my son knew last year that he hadn't got his first choice when he went to pick up his results (he's soooo happy where he is now though).
We have got it all to come again on Thursday with our daughter :fingerscrossedsmiley:
to everyone. My daughter was accepted by 5 Uni's, she wanted to go to Hull but after visiting realised it's a long way from from home (she's a lil home bird) and so decided to go Anglia which is just up the road from us (for 3 years) and then off to Hull for 3 years. Blimey, 6 years 
i'm secretly pleased she's not going into residence yet. Good luck to everyone quote:Originally posted by pussycatj:

Mines hoping for Kent!!! He will! be gutted if he dont get the grades!!!quote:Originally posted by Little Miss Spurs:

It may not matter if your son does not get the grades stated on his conditional offer...as long as he gets the grade required for the particular subject he'd doing it could well be enough.
My son was offered requiring ABB but got in on ACC cos he got the A in maths and that is what he was going to study.

Oh sorry I haven't got a scooby,...but I would imagine he still might get in, it would depend on the results of the other applicants.
