Yeah thats how it rolled when we did it, but we're old dinosaurs now Joobs. Or should I say Jubasaurus Rex? I think I should.

[Tom]

Yeah, that's odd but I expect you're right. It's what my teachers have been telling me but I bet they just say it to get you to work harder. The only issue is is that unis look at your AS results so if I want to get in to a good uni I'm gonna need 90% +

[Pentagathus]

Not unless good uni means Oxbridge only. But still, best to aim high anyway.

[Tom]

Aim high and when I fail then I should still be able to get in to uni

[comrade_general]

Aim small, miss small.

[Tom]

Indeed

I don't remember my uni caring what I did at AS level (which is good, because I took Citizenship, what an embarrassment), it all came down to UCAS points. And I'm at a redbrick university.

But then that info is about four years outdated.

[Jubal]

I know Oxbridge don't use UCAS points at all, but they will probably be more likely to be exception rather than rule (as usual). Cambridge focus most heavily on AS results of any Uni I think. Oxford use a mix of GCSEs and their own testing (though that means sitting extra entry exams midway through A2 year).

[Lizard]

I have many an Oxbridge-related chip in my shoulder, and now I have an excuse for even more. Thank God I came to a sensible university

I think most of the Russel group do this sort of thing now. Of the places I applied (Bristol, York, Sheffield, Manchester & Cambridge) none of them paid any attention to a points tarrif and instead cared about grades & subject choice.
