So, you've made it through the rainy days, in the words of the Sugababes.

Or to put it another way, the stresses of the A-level exams are over.

You've been there, done that got the T-shirt, and received the piece of paper to prove how clever you really are.

But, if your results are not as you expected, what then? Never fear, here are some tips that will hopefully help.

1. Assess the situation and all the options open to you -

There could be a way around the setback.

2. Get in contact with your University choices -

They maybe still willing to except you.

3. Get in contact with UCAS -

The University and college admission service are there to help. Contact them on the applicant enquiry line 01242 22788 or e-mail enq@ucas.ac.uk. For general Enquiries phone 01242 222444. Check out their website www.ucas.ac.uk

4. Talk to tutors and your family -

Use them as a sounding board, their advice may provide a solution.

In true Jerry Springer style, here's a final thought: "Everything is OK in the end, if it's not OK then its not the end"

Good Luck!
