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 Univer-
sity and will study biochemistry. Both girls had ? ve 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 abso-
lutely the same results in the exams. Chloe admitted that competition be-
tween 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 ? ve passes at
grade A. In her interview Amy said that she was quite con? dent 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 cafe, 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 togeth-
er. They are going to study engineering: Harley at Brunel University in
Uxbridge and Kyle — at Cambridge.

Twins shine at A-levels
It would seem that 2005 is the уear of the twin. Of all the A-level success stories - and with the pass rate going up again there are more than ever - four sets of twins.
1 Lydia and Caroline (L&C), from Gloucester, are both going to Cambridge University to study veterinary science after getting five As each - in the same subjects: maths, biology, physics, chemistry and general studies. Lydia admitted competition did come into it. "Itaskm glad we got the same, otherwise one of us would have had boasting about it to the other." Caroline added: "Ittasks very strange that we both got the same results, I cantaskt quite believe it."
2 Alexa and Sophie (A&5), achieved nine grade-A passes between them and have both secured places at Cambridge -although studying different subjects at different colleges. The twins were students at Colchester County School for girls, where 18> pupils achieved five passes at grade A. Alexa said, "I was reasonably confident. My As-levels were good and I only needed to get Cs so it wasntaskt much of a shock."
3 Wendy and Grace (W&G), identical twins, both got four A-grades and are going to study medicine at Leeds University together. They do everything together. Wendy said, "We both got the same results in our GCSEs and A-levels so it seems to be becoming a bit of a habit." Celebrations will be at the local pub tonight, they said.
4 Henry and Ken (H&K), both pupils at Bishop Veseytasks grammar school in Sutton Coldfield, West Midlands, followed their 11 A or A-star grades at GCSE with five As at A-level - each. But these twins arentaskt sticking together. Henry is to study medicine at Nottingham University and Ken will be studying engineering at Cambridge.
