If you get an unconditional that you are happy with then that's it - you have 6 months where you can either work hard for exams that don't count or, like me (and indeed my son who recently went through this process), you can use that time to enjoy yourself and get a job to earn some money before going to Uni. Schools tend to be a bit unhappy about this approach though. If you have a conditional offer then you face the prospect of being like everyone in the rUK. It's pretty nice if you get unconditional offers!
