Twins shine at A-levels It would seem that
2005 is the year 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. "I'm
glad we got the same, otherwise one of us
would have had boasting about it to the
other." Caroline added: "It's very strange
that we both got the same results, I can't
quite believe it." 2)Alexa and Sophie
(A&S),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
wasn't 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 Vesey's
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 aren't sticking together.
Henry is to study medicine at Nottingham
University and Ken will be studying
engineeering at Cambridge.
