Twins excel at school exams

There are four sets of twins among all the A-level success stories and their pass rate is going up even more than ever. Year 2015 seems to be the year of the twins.

1 Laura and Chloe (L&C), from Bath, are both going to Cambridge University and will study biochemistry. Both girls had five As each in the most important subjects: mathematics, chemistry, economics, biology and physics. The girls say that they do not quite believe that they both got absolutely the same results in the exams. Chloe admitted that competition between them played its role in their success, but she adds that she is happy that they got the same grades, otherwise one of them would have started boasting about better results to the other.

2 Amy and Shannon (A&S) will be studying different subjects at different colleges but they both got nine A-grade passes and ensured their places at Cambridge University. The girls were studying at Devon Country School for girls, where 15 pupils showed very high results and achieved five passes at grade A. In her interview Amy said that she was quite confident because her A-levels were good enough, she only needed to get Cs in some subjects but did much better.

3 Wanda and Gladys (W&G) are identical twins. They both got four A-grades and are going to study medicine at University of Bristol together. They almost always do everything together. They both got the same results in their GCSEs and Advanced Levels. Gladys said that is seemed to be becoming a bit of a good habit. They are going to celebrate their success at the local café, they told the journalist.

4 Harley and Kyle (H&K) are both students at Ermisted’s Grammar School, Skipton, North Yorkshire. They followed their eleven A grades at GCSE with five As at A-level — each of them. Surprisingly, they are not sticking together. They are going to study engineering: Harley at Brunel University in Uxbridge and Kyle — at Cambridge.
