Last year, Jane Duggan had her heart set on training to become a doctor. However, when she just missed the required A-level grades she was offered a place on a course in medical biochemistry at Leicester University.
" If you can't get on the course you want, look at similar subjects," is her advice to
A-level students encountering similar turmoil. Havinga clear idea of your ambitions, being persistent and making realistic compromises are the lessons learned by Jane and other students.
With the A-level results out last Thursday this special post-exam survival guide is presented by Paul Ross. There's a free confidential helpline to dial which has instant computer access to every college vacancy in the country. The number is 0[number removed]and lines are open today from 12 noon to
10.00pm and every day until Friday (10.00am - 6.00pm).
The documentary complements Radio 1 's continuing coverage and Annie Nightingale 's Radio 4 late-night phone-ins tonight and Wednesday. Producer Mary Fourt Stereo
