alt.uk.a-levels

alt.uk.a-levels, frequently referred to as AUA, is a newsgroup which receives posts mainly from A-Level students, university students, teachers and university admissions tutors in the UK. Some posts cover A-Levels and other relevant things, but there's plenty of other discussion on all subjects.

Read AUA at Google Groups
If you can't access a news server, you can read AUA at Google Groups. Note that articles tend to appear on Google Groups a few hours later than they appear on news servers, and regular reading and posting to AUA from Google Groups is a highly frustrating experience. But it's useful from time to time.
