View Full Version : Results Day
Everyone nervous?!
A Levels come out on the 16th, and GCSEs are out on the 23rd.
I'm nervous about how i've done in Politics, because that has a high level of intake for year 13, so you've got to do well to get back onto the course. They're strict on that at my 6th form.
You can share al your results in this thread as well when they come out, too. The other threads for exams are kind of big now.

Yes i'm nervous but kinda excited too as i desperately want to know how i've done.
I want to take English Literature, Drama and ICT next year so i'll be really interested in how i've done in them - i would love to have As in all of the subjects i want to take next year but i won't..ah well..:p

Same here, I'm looking forward to finding out what I've got but I'm really nervous at the same time. I just hope I've done ok, especially in the subjects I want to take at college. Good luck to everyone getting results :D
I'm nervous, but not that bad, as i seem to keep forgetting!
I really want to know how i've done in Drama,English,Maths and i want to know how badly i failed Science and Business Studies!
I'm more intrigued about how i did in certain courseworks mind...!
I am bricking it, because i am not here i have to do it all over the internet and not at college, but i dont really have much say in that matter.
I need all these passwords and nmbers and everything to find out from UCAS then once my results our out, i have to see if i have been accepted, if not i have to start on clearing. I can't wait for it all to be over to be honest.
I dont want to go - full stop. I know I haven't done good, and I don't want to look at my results sheet.
I'm tempted not to even open the sheet and just burn it, my uni will be in touch to let me know if I've got in, so i dont need to know results.
I know I've under-performed, that's just to my lack of motivation and enthusiasm for the subjects, I was originally predicted As, now I'll be lucky if I scrape Cs and Ds.

Good Luck to everyone. I have my fingers crossed for each one of you but I am sure that you will all do brilliantly!!
Fifteen hours until AS results. I'm so nervous, my stomach is doing somersaults and I feel like crying. I know I've failed miserably and I'll get nowhere near my targets grades which are all B's.

Good luck all.

I'm sure on Friday the papers will scream "A Levels Being Dumbed Down."
I challenge anybody who says that to sit an A level exam.

You should do Human Biology if you want a proper workout. I loved to spend my Friday mornings learning how water flows in a plant for hours on end and comparing the structure on insulin and collagen :confused: On the positive side, if you like to dissect pigs' hearts, lungs and liver and torture water fleas with ethanol then this is the course for you.

Could have gone to Bournemouth after all, but I've made my decision now so might aswell stick to it.
Fantastic! Well done Bry!:cheer:
Fantastic! Well done Bry!:cheer:
thanks Trinity but I actually dont feel like I deserve those grades
I really didnt apply myself at all in A2, I never did homework or independant studies and I never revised for my exams.
In a way I'd rather have done bad, so as I taught myself a lesson, but as it is I never worked hard and got fab grades, which isn't good, as I'm gonna think I can get away with being lazy in future.

Very well done!! Just a quick question, if you don't mind, what is Critical Thinking? I have never heard of that one but sounds very interesting!

Well done Bry!! Fab results, even if you did spend most of your revision time talking to us on msn :nono: :D
Make sure you apply yourself in Uni and you'll be find (although I can understand what you mean about wanting worse grades kinda thing).
Still, be proud of yourself, and see you're gradually getting closer to me - I can feel a Debs/Bry/Em meet up coming up :thumbsup:
Very well done!! Just a quick question, if you don't mind, what is Critical Thinking? I have never heard of that one but sounds very interesting!
It is general studies for the clever people. Basically if you got really high GCSE grades they make you do this subject. It's enforced on you, whether you want to do it or not.
It is boring (there is no subject matter) and pointless (unis dont accept it as a subject). Plus it is very very very hard to get an exceptable grade in it (only about 25% of students get C or above). I love the logic "let's take all our clever kids and rather than letting them get an A in General studies, let them fail Critical Thinking"
It's mainly about constructing/analysing arguments. I thought I'd fail it, so to get a C is a complete suprise and probably my biggest achievement.

Yup, are you ready for me? :p :lol:
I didn't do too badly. Not great, but not amazing. I did well in most my modules, then buggered up on a few, which brought my grades right down. So i'll be doing a few module retakes in Jan to bring my grades back up.
Geography= (A, C, D) so C overall.
Politics = (B, B, D) so C overall.
English = (B, C, C) so C overall. 6 marks from a B
ICT= (A, A, C) so B overall. 4 marks from an A
So my plan is this: Drop geog, because i would have to gain 12 marks to get a B overall. I'm gonna retake my English coursework, so i can bump it from a B to an A. That will take my grade to B. I'm gonna retake my Electoral systems and voting behaviour in Politics, to get up to a B. And i'm gonna retake one of my ICT units. I only need 4 marks to get an A.
So basically, do 3 retakes, and end up with ABB.
Really, i'm not sure what to think about my exams. I wanted to drop ICT, because i hate it, but as its my best subject, i'm not going to. I like geog, but the coursework saved me, and next year we dont do any, so theres no point me doing it, because i'll just fail A2.
So yeah, BCCC, but i'll get it up to ABB. Trust me ;)
That is great abi.. you shouldn't be hard on yourself. you did well Girl!!

Well done on the grades Abi, and as you say a few resists and them grades will go right up.
A C in Georgaphy is really good, as it's such a hard subject to do, I know most of the students at our place that did Geography got really low grades overall as A2 is really tough.
It's best to stick to your other subjects and get the ABB that you're aiming for. One year down, one to go. Good luck! :thumbsup:

Thanks! Yeah, Geography was a hard one this year. English wasn't that much better. Apparently Biology was bad this year as well, not sure on the exam board for that though.
I cant stand these reports on the TV about the amount of A grades. They've twisted the stats so badly! Yes, a lot of people get A grades, but generally, the same people get them. So 1 person might get 3 As. The news makes it sound like everyone does!
And they dont pick the schools which are in average areas, do they? Come to my school, and if you get 1 A, its bloody amazing! Go to a grammer school, or somewhere rich, and of course you'll see hundreds of them! :lweek:

yeah georgraphy/geology/biology always seem to be the hardest to get a good grade in. anyone thinking of doing them please reconsider!
to be fair no subject is a walk in the park, i know a lot of people that worked damn hard to get their results, and all this news about A levels being easy really pisses me off, it's hard work, and it's all very well them picking results out and manipulating the evidence, but if they sat down and tried i'd like them to see how "easy" it is to get an A grade.
exactly, them ones they just had on the news were all from Kings, which is a well established college, and they all sounded posh as if they'd been to grammar schools. grrr the media annoy me sometimes!
Well done Abi - don't be too hard on yourself as those are still fantastic grades
Well done Abi - they are great results! Just watched the news and they said that a 1/4 of A level students this year got straight As.
No, what they said was that 25% of the results were As.
Apparently 'less than 10% of candidates' got straight As.
That said it is amazing, in my day you were lucky if 3 or 4 people in a year got straight As at Higher
just got a text off my friend who got 4 As at AS level! wow, I'm shocked!

yeah georgraphy/geology/biology always seem to be the hardest to get a good grade in. anyone thinking of doing them please reconsider!
yeh biology is really difficult, me and most of my class struggled in biology. chemistry and maths are meant to be really hard too. i dont know about chemistry seeing as i didnt take it, though most people in my year got a U in AS, but i did maths and yes it was hard but not as difficult as some people said, so although obviously some subjects are harder than others i think it also depends on the individual on how hard they are (if that makes sense)
to be fair no subject is a walk in the park, i know a lot of people that worked damn hard to get their results, and all this news about A levels being easy really pisses me off, it's hard work, and it's all very well them picking results out and manipulating the evidence, but if they sat down and tried i'd like them to see how "easy" it is to get an A grade.
i agree, i hate it when people say alevels are easy, dont know what else to say really as youve completely summed it up lol!
exactly, them ones they just had on the news were all from Kings, which is a well established college, and they all sounded posh as if they'd been to grammar schools. grrr the media annoy me sometimes!
just cos you go to a grammar school dont mean youre posh. youd never catch a posh person in my area going to a grammar school, they all go to the poncy private schools

i knew nothing about politics either before i started. BBD is really good for a subject youd never done before. cant remember what one i did badly in, it was unit 2, about parliament and constitutions and stuff i think. good luck with the retake and next year in it :)
Well done Bry and Abi you both did brilliant.
Had the funeral yesterday hence the delay in letting you know how i did.
I got
Psychology - A
Law - B
Geography - C (very chuffed with this one as got a D at AS and had to work like crazy to get the gerade up i really thought this would let me down, but it didnt)
General Studies - C
Very pleased with myself over all.
Good luck all those still waiting, the GCSE results.
Oh and also really pleased as my college which is a mixed Comp with 800 odd pupils in my year were in the top 450 state schools, its really good as there are really few comps there and only about three with that many pupils, so well done my College.

02-09-2007, 17:17
Well done, everyone - you all got great results! :D
I got a C in Product Design, which is mostly my own fault for not revising, but also my teacher's, I think, because everytime I went to her for revision classes she said she was tired after a long day and didn't really give me anything specific to revise. Still, like I said, it's mostly my own fault.
Anyway, that's the great thing about sitting it it in year 10, I'm gonna re-sit it next year if I can.
My mum and dad still owe me money from last year (I'm a good saver and always feel mean asking for huge amounts of money, since my brother is completely the opposite, so I've only took £50 so far), so when they asked I told them not to bother paying me this year.
Well done everyone with your results :D What are you all planning on doing next? AS Levels?
DaVeyWaVey
02-09-2007, 17:57
I'll be doing AS levels now in English Literature, Drama and Theatre Studies, ICT and Media Studies. I've got to go up to school tomorrow for an interview to check i've made the right choice with what i want to do, then i start the next day but i have 2 induction days to look forward too - but i just want to start the subjects i chose to be honest.
Yeh i'm going back to my school to do my As levels, i'm doing:
English Lit, Drama and Theatre Studies, Pyscology and Applied Health + Social Care :)
Im doing AS levels to in : drama & theatre studies, eng lang, biology and geography
Are you all staying on at your school as they have a sixth form or leaving and starting somewhere new?
DaVeyWaVey
03-09-2007, 14:50
My school has a sixthform so i am staying on at school to do A Levels. I've just been up my school now and enrolled and i found out off my Business Studies teacher i was 1 mark off a C in Business Studies!!
My school didn't have a sixth form in fact none of them do in my area unless its private, so i had to leave.
That's really good Dave, i hate that, 1 more mark and the grade goes up. Although i love it when its the other way round anmd you pass by one mark.
I started college today, my school doesnt have a sixth form but the other local school which is nearer does but i still wanted to go to college, has more options and fits in my classes better

03-09-2007, 20:44

It's that time of year again. :p How's everyone feeling?
AS/A Level results - August 14th
GCSE results - August 21st
I must say I am not feeling too nervous. I am actually looking forward to seeing what I got in my AS subjects, even if it's good or bad.
I'm really really nervous. I want to know yet I don't.
I know I've failed physics, that was a given. I got a U at AS so even though I've done well on my courseworks it will be highly unlikely that I've passed.
All I need is 2 Cs and one E to get into Bucks (200 points from 3 A levels). Staffs just want 240 points. I got a letter from UCLAN in Preston saying that if I don't get into my firm or insurance they will reconsider my application. I really wanted to go there but I didn't think I'd meet the offer (260).
To be honest, I don't care what I get as long as I get into uni.
Isn't bucks the private university?
What's a private university?

Buckingham Uni is, but i think she's going to Bucks New Uni, which isn't.

Well done to everyone for thier brilliant results! I am really not looking forward to mine next year and I am dreading the minute school starts but this year even though it's the last year and I want it to be all play and no work I am going to pull my socks up! :p
I am liking the money for the grade thing.. I see a deal coming up with my parents :lol:
Well I worked out the money thing so now for my results.. coming in 10 days.. Probably won't post it up because I got nothing to be proud off (or so I feel because my parents expect alot).. So yeah..
I wish this thread would dissappear now :lol:
My son got his standard grade results last week - 5 ones and 3 twos - so not bad!
I don't want to know. I can't stop thinking about stupid little mistakes I made in a couple of the exams and I'm not sleeping well at all. I dread to think what I'll be like when it comes to AS/A Level results. I've got grades in my head that I've been hoping for since my report came out, with various levels of disappointment if I don't get them.. don't care with Additional Science though, the whole year struggled, I hated it and I'm expecting a D or something. We'll see...
So many people have asked for texts when I get the results. My Aunt's decided she's phoning to find out, and I bet I haven't opened them by the time she rings as I don't want to open them at school.
I tried a money for grades thing and my dad goes, "Have you ever known disappointment?" Bet I don't even get a tenner off of him, but I've a feeling his cousin will send me something as she said she thought my dad was being a bit unreasonable when he refused to give me any money for them.
Dont remind me :( I feel sick at the thought. Whilst Im here Ive banned the subject of college, results and Uni. Its gonna be worse when thursday comes cos my dad will call the college to find out how his students did, since he works there

I never get any money for my results either Di M lol.
I messed about through GCSE's whihc I seriously regret and me and my family knew I didn't do my best, I had reasonable grades but I knew and my Nan knew I could of done alot better, but I did have a tub of Ben & Jerrys and a bracelet so I was well happy :D Haha
Dreading Thursday... I jsut want to know what I need to resit, which will no doubt be everything. I did work really hard this year, but I just freeze in exams! My English Lang exams I thought/wanted to do really well in, but I jsut dind't have a clue what to write!.. (it was all about MI6)
But at the end of the day they're only exams, and I may be dissapointed with what I get but I'll just resit them and work even more harder!
My son got his standard grade results last week - 5 ones and 3 twos - so not bad!
well done to your son. i dont know anything about scottish exams but i take it those results were good
It is the same as 5 A grades and 3 B grades in GCSEs. He could have done better, but it wasn't as bad as it could have been either, lol.
He was relieved I think!

12-08-2008, 12:36
also, am i the only person who never got any money for my exams?
Nah I don't get any money either. I don't really get anything for doing well in exams, which I'm kinda glad about as it would pressurise me more to do well! My parents just tell me to try my best and the best is all I can do, which is perfectly true for everyone.
Well done to your son Trinity - they are fantastic results!
Well done to your son, Trinity. I'd be well chuffed if i got those results!
I'm kind of indifferent to my results now. If i don't get what i need, then i'm kind of ready to go into clearing and do something else. I really hope i got BBB, but if not, then theres not anything i can do about it, i just have to get on and do something else.
i didnt get any money, i got "well done" and that was about it, i knew they were proud of me though.
good luck everyone, i remember this time last year, i am glad i'm not in that position again! I had my results for this year over and done with thankfully.

So many people have asked for texts when I get the results. My Aunt's decided she's phoning to find out, and I bet I haven't opened them by the time she rings as I don't want to open them at school.
Oh god same here.. I had everyone telling me they will phone me up and ask for like the past 2 months.. Even now for the whole holiday it's been, ''Have you got your results yet?'' ''Oh okay when are they coming?''
I just put it off with late August.
But It's going to be on the news as usual and the phone will start ringing:crying:
It's my results so why do they want to know:angry: :( - And no it's not because they care it's because their kids did better than I'm gonna have done and they just wanna rub it in my face :) Nice
I think I am going to go and collect it as soon as I can and then I am going to attempt to find a corner, or even go to the loo and lock myself in lol and then I am going to take a piece of paper with the grades I needed to get and comapre them.. then cry.. stay there for about half an hour.. and then plan to carry of with my life somehow and enjoy the few hours I will have to live :lol:
I know whatever the outcome I won't be happy as I am not expected more than 3 A's if I am lucky. And I won't be suprised if I fail Media or English.
DaVeyWaVey
12-08-2008, 19:29
Don't worry about it Spicy and Kim - what grades are you both expected?
If you'd rather no one knew your results, you don't have to let them know - after all, it's your personal piece of paper with your results on..no one has the right apart from you to look at it.
I am sure you have both done fine, but if you haven't, it really is not the end of the world. Exams are exams - life goes on even if you've done badly or not, there will be something out there for you to do! :) ... and remember this, things could always be worse.
Just try and keep positive :)
Just coming on to say good luck to everyone getting results on Thursday or next Thursday.
I'm awaiting AS's and my idea right now is to just ignore it - if that's possible. Thankfully I'm learning how to use a checkout tomorrow so that should keep my mind busy.
Our year got an e-mail off one of our teachers this morning saying:
"Exams aren't the be all and end up. If you mess up then just move on. It's one small part of your life and as the saying goes 'When one door closes, another one opens.'
Good luck girls."
If it's not the be all and end all - why do you keep pressuring us?
Chloe O'brien
12-08-2008, 20:20
Good luck to everyone, and stop worrying I know you will all do brilliant, and even if you don't get the results you are hoping for it's not the end of the world.
So many people have asked for texts when I get the results. My Aunt's decided she's phoning to find out, and I bet I haven't opened them by the time she rings as I don't want to open them at school.
I'm facing that problem too. My sister said she's going to come down on Thursday which I don't want her to do. So she said to ring her straight after I get my results which I don't want to. I know friends and family like to know how I got on but I just want to have an hour or so to get myself squared away before I tell people.
To those that are collecting A2 results: are you going to look at the UCAS website at midnight tomorrow to see if you have been accepted?
Good luck :D
Dr. Tangliss
12-08-2008, 21:19
Loads of people try that one but it normally crashes around midnight and sometimes UCAS take it offline, you can always try but don't get stressed if it does not allow you to access your uni choices at midnight.
I'm not going to look. I'd rather wait until the morning when all my friends get their results and open them together.
My mum's saying she's not letting me back in the house if I don't tell her my results, so I'm just going to have to wander around somewhere and possibly get a bus to somewhere she won't come looking for me until I'm ready to open my results and then go home when I'm ready to tell her what I got. I was going to listen to my mp3 on my phone on the bus on the way to get them, but I think I'll just leave my phone off and take my iPod with everyone going on about calls and texts. I stayed with my dad's cousin for a week in July and she must have asked me about 5 times while I was there when I was getting my results. I told one Aunt the date over the phone and she tapped me on the shoulder in the middle of the bank the other day and started asking me again when they were. Another Aunt asked me at the bus stop the other day and she'd asked me more times than the other, so I had a good mind to tell her that I'd done GCSEs and to go and look up the date in the window of Clintons! The only relative that's not reminding me about them at every opportunity is my uncle and his wife - they've had two kids who have had theirs and one of which was in a similar state to me about getting them so at least they understand.
I'm expected an A* and 9A's, although 3 more of my teachers wrote in my report that they'd like me to aim for an A*. My Geography teacher who is the head of sixth form said to my mum in my 6th form interview when discussing my predicted grades that I could get an A* in Geography if the questions were right.. no pressure then! I really don't think I've got a chance at one in Geography because I hated it for almost all of the course. I thought I had quite a good chance of getting most of my predicted grades when I came out of the exams, but I've had nothing to do for a lot of the holiday and have thought about the exams too much and silly little mistakes I made in them; now I'm convinced they're going to mean the difference between grades. Whatever I get I don't think there'll be a lot in it between one grade and the next, so I really don't want to know my exact number of marks. I definitely won't be getting that A in Additional Science though and I'll be absolutely gobsmacked if I get a B in it!
Good luck to all the A Level people; hope you get into all of the unis you want, and good luck to those getting AS's on Thursday too.
Abbie, does your dad find out yours before you when he phones the college?

I am too embarrased to say (yes even on here lol) but hopefully they should all be a C or above (excluding Media)..
Thing is everyone is expecting everyone to say anything so if I don't tell them my results I am just going to seem like the rudest impolite child on earth loool..
I think I will just take some time away before going home.. I will tell my mum so beforehand so she don't end up calling the police haha..
Personally to me, it would seem like the end of the world.. As everyone seems to expect so much from me (my fam and my fam friends and fam fam etc. :( )
Same Spicy, although I expect a lot from myself as well. My dad, well I don't know what to think about him. One minute he says he's expecting an A* in this, that and the other, and the next minute GCSE's are just a total waste of time. I'm betting I'll throw up on results day, I felt sick last night and only got about 5 hours sleep and fell asleep in the middle of the afternoon for an hour while reading a book.

So far I been avoiding thinking about.. I trying to avoid thinking about my expected results and just everything. Seems to be working but dosen't help the matter in either way.. I just don't know what to do! I think I will ignore it a bit more and wait till the day before and panic like mad - should come naturally :) Lol.. :(

Cs are really good grades and anything above that is even better - I would try and put it to the back of your mind until next Thursday though, try and keep yourself busy if you are worrying. :)
I am actually getting nervous about my results now.. just a quick question, on the results sheet will they show the mark and grade you got in each exam you took or will they just give you 1 grade for each subject?
My friend did her Maths A Level in Year 9 and 10, and I'm sure she said hers showed what she got in each module.

On the GCSEs, each exam board has a separate sheet of paper with your results on. I had like 4 different sheets of paper for my results as I was on 4 different exam boards. On each sheet of paper, the subject name will be there, and your grade will be printed next to it. You will also get another sheet of paper which will have all your results on it. Each subject will be named with the grade next to it, then underneath that they will have breakdowns of the grades or marks you got in each module/coursework for that subject (there may be some exceptions as I remember in Maths, I just got my grade C and I don't actually know how well I did in my coursework or in each exam paper).. sorry I hope that made sense!
I will imagine this will be the same for AS actually (well I hope so as I want to know what modules I didn't do so well in and the ones I would need to resit).
Eep I hope my school is different.. really don't want my results, let alone exact marks. Did anyone not get the same as Dave?

I will imagine this will be the same for AS actually (well I hope so as I want to know what modules I didn't do so well in and the ones I would need to resit).
I think I just got the one sheet of paper with all my results on. The first column had the exam board, the next had the subject and module. Each module was listed separately; in the next column was the grade/UMS mark for that module and the overall grade was in the next column.
Just a warning, the marks on the results paper will be in UMS. Your actual marks that you got in the exam are converted into UMS (don't know how) so they won't reflect how many marks you gained.
I'll have a look at one of my results sheets tomorrow. I might scan it in if it doesn't have too much personal info on.
All my results sheets have been the same from science modular exams in yr 10 right through to AS. The only time that I got results printed on exam board paper was when I did my AS.
Oh no... I know exactly how many UMS marks I need for an A in Maths :crying: Eep I hope it's nowhere near if I get a B in it because I made some very stupid mistakes in the second paper.
We never got sheets for modules, only the Geography DME in January.
Kim, you're worrying too much about your results. It's not the end of the world if you came out with less than an A in any of your subjects. I've only got five GCSEs, nobody has ever asked me what I got in the two years since.
There's nothing you can do about it now, you can't change anything. The best thing to do is just relax and try not to think about it. Don't get yourself in a stew about results, they're not the be-all and end-all.

UMS Marks.. All sounds new to me? What are they :searchme:
Personally I know it's not the end of the world and I wouldn't be so worried if it weren't for the fam :rolleyes: Only thing is I know I could have pushed myself further but I didn't.. *sigh*
An explanation of UMS (http://www.qca.org.uk/qca_4133.aspx) grades. I never understood them.
Dont remind me :( I feel sick at the thought. Whilst Im here Ive banned the subject of college, results and Uni. Its gonna be worse when thursday comes cos my dad will call the college to find out how his students did, since he works there
are you not gonna find out your results til you get home then?
I have to wait till I get home which will be a saturday and I have to wait till tuesday (cos of the bank holiday) to go get them from college! Or if they have been posted out its the same, wait till tuesday cos my mum stopped the post while we were away :(

i didnt get any money, i got "well done" and that was about it, i knew they were proud of me though.
yeh same. i never minded not getting any money, it just always seems like everyone else does! when my sis did her gcses she asked my mum why we didnt get money and my mum said cos she didnt wanna bribe us with money to work hard as we should want to do our best for ourselves. and also cos she would feel bad if me or my sis ended up with better grades than the other and therefore more money even if we had both done our best. my parents always say well done though and i know they are genuinely proud of our results, apart from my maths alevel which tbh i hadnt done any work and my teachers told me i should have done better as well, but i still got a B so its not like i failed, but i understand that time cos they knew i could have done better. although after i got my alevel results and my sis had got her gcse results (cos we got them the same year) we went out for a meal

Don't worry about it Spicy and Kim - what grades are you both expected?
If you'd rather no one knew your results, you don't have to let them know - after all, it's your personal piece of paper with your results on..no one has the right apart from you to look at it.
I am sure you have both done fine, but if you haven't, it really is not the end of the world. Exams are exams - life goes on even if you've done badly or not, there will be something out there for you to do! :) ... and remember this, things could always be worse.
Just try and keep positive :)
I am too embarrased to say (yes even on here lol) but hopefully they should all be a C or above (excluding Media)..
theres nothing to be embarrassed about whatever grades you get as long as you did your best. and a C or above is really good

im not sure if its different now to when i did them (makes me sound old lol but i know they keep changing things) but for my gcse results i got a piece of paper for each exam board each listed with each subject id done with that exam board and the grade i got for that subject. i dont remember getting the marks i got in the exams or for my cw, if i did i dunno what i did with it lol!
for AS, you just get a sheet with the marks you got for each module i think, a bit like what you get for the january exams. unless its changed, i dont think you get an actual overall grade (although you can obviously work it out yourself). if you decide to not continue with your AS subject then you get sent a grade but otherwise it just carries on til alevel

Ugh. I had a few of the girls over to stay last night and this was like.. the highlight of the night seriously!
I'm obviously nervous for my results and I know I've not done well, even though I did do my best, but at least I will have my mind at rest for what I need to resit and I'm sure I'll be gutted for a bit but at the end of the day, I did my best it was all I could do and it's not the end of the world I'll jsut resit and make sure I do even better... there's alot more worse things that go on in this world. Life goes on after exams.
I suppose I'm pretty lucky I'm not pushed. I'm the first in my family to actually do A Levels so I see that as an achievement in itself, but my family just tell em to do my best and whatever the grades.. so be it. As long as I knwo I tried my very best then they're proud of me no matter what, and I suppose that's what keeps me going!
One or 2 of my friends are in really bad states over results tomorrow though, because their parents expect them to get the best grades and work them and work them until they're physically worn out. I don't believe that's the way to be and jsut do exams for yourself. For what you want to achieve. In the long run if you did bad but you know you did your upmost best then good on you! Carry on doing what you're doing because you can only do so much!.. Take resits, it's not the end. You'll all do fab anyways I'm sure :D
Good Luck Everyone :D:D:D xx

13-08-2008, 13:35
Completely agree with what you've said Kirsty. You can only do your best and my parents have the same outlook when it comes to exams.
Thanks for the link Abigail - it was helpful.
I pushed myself as far as I could for most of my subjects; couple of them I hated though. Coursework's at A* for them though so hopefully that'll push them up a bit. Only one I think is terrible is Additional Science; my friend's gutted because she spent ages revising for it and still struggled so I'm glad I didn't lose motivation further by doing as much as she did and then struggling with it. By the end of exams I really couldn't bring myself to revise any more.
UMS is Uniform Mark Scale, Spicy. For GCSE I think it's up to the exam board how they scale them, but I'm sure in an A Level guide we were given at options evening there was a common conversion or something. My friend really wanted to know how our Core Science was converted to UMS last year and worked it out with a calculator. I think she said they multiplied the raw mark by 1.3 something in that. The greater the difference between the number raw marks and the total UMS marks for that paper, the more it will be multiplied by.
I know what you mean, Kirsty. I'll be the first on my Dad's side to actually have any GCSE's but they're expecting more than Mum's side. I think one Aunt from Mum's side expects me to beat my cousins, but Dad kept going on about A*'s and then saying he didn't care if I failed everything. Basically when he wanted me to do an invoice out for him he didn't care if I failed, lol! I'd be very disappointed in myself if I didn't beat my cousin's grades, so it's not really pressure from my Aunt.
As for the money for grades thing, I didn't want to arrange anything before exams as that would have meant more pressure than I was already putting on myself. I've been trying to since they finished though, as there's nothing I could have done to get any more money for them. My dad's yet to agree though. I don't think he even really looked at my predicted grades, so it'd a bit of a stab in the dark for him if he did offer money for grades. It'd be nice if he gave me some money but then again I'd have done my best for myself anyway as everyone's seen from how much I've been thinking about silly little mistakes.

Was just talking about telling results and stuff and mum said she would agree to fake my results if I am not happy with them :) Now I sort of am looking forward to getting them. Obviously I am not going to say all A's but if I got a C or something I might say B..
I am just going to say that to my family (apart from mum and dad).. Not going to make this a habit lol.. I will tell you guys what I get though :)

I totally agree Kirsty. You've done your best and nobody can ask any more than that. And if you feel you could have done better... well it's something to remember for the future.
I could have done a whole lot better last year and I thought that I had no chance of getting into uni this year but in hindsight my AS results aren't that bad. I have worked harder this year and revised a lot more so I guess I learnt my lesson. A levels aren't a walk in the park.
Dave, take a calculator with you tomorrow!! When i got my AS last year, they didn't add them up, or give us an overall grade, they just gave you the UMS mark for each module. They said it was because AS isn't a "qualification", its half of AS, so its the modules that matter, not the overall grade. Which is true. So they gave us an extra sheet to tell us how to work out the grades for AS, but then told us not to worry about what it is, lol!! So yeah, calculators are your friend!
At GCSE, its just the subject and the grade in most subjects. Some will give you the total UMS as well, but most will just be the grade. Its dead easy to understand. And if you are in the top 5 in the country on AQA, they will give you an extra letter as well to congratulate you, lmao. My friend was 5th in the country in GCSE History, and had this well funny letter with hers. I don't think the other exam boards do it though.

Well done Abi and Abigail - that's brilliant news!
I am quite pleased with my results, though I was shocked by some of my results...some bits of my course I did well in, but I did a bit badly in other aspects so it brought my grade down
I got:
Media: B (AB in my exams - two marks off an A for my second exam!.. and a C in my coursework)
English: B (AAC in my exams) completely shell shocked! Thought I did alright, but not that well!
ICT: D (DE in my exams and C for coursework)..bit gutted about this result, but I will drop it I think.
Drama: C (A in my performance but CD in my theory exams..I thought I did better in my theory exams but ahh well)..
So the plan is.. I am going to drop ICT probably and resit the C I got in English to try and boost it to an A. :)
Those are great results Davey :D You should be proud of yourself.

Brillaint stuff squillyfer! Well done! :D
I also have a question fro you guys..
1 - Can you re-sit GCSE's while doing AS levels?
2 - Also say I got a C in Maths and I wanted to take it for AS level (min grade B).. And they allowed me to do so.. Can I re-sit my Maths GCSE while learning Maths AS level?
Thanks :)
Spicy, it depends on your college, but most only let you resit maths and english, and if you don't get more than a B in other sujects you can't take it further. You wouldn't need to, providing you have at least 5A*-Cs.
2) They might not let you take maths AS if it wasn't B grade, at mine you'd resit one year, take the AS the next.
---
So, mine. Well I got into my firm, BBB. Good yes, but french could have beena hell of a lot better, I just scraped C's (one mark off a D in all my modules from this year) so it's last year's that got me a B, which is good. But, I think considering what's happened in the last year, just still actually being alive is good enough!
In my school you can only resit Maths and English GCSE, and you have to take one less AS subject to resit. The only other way they do resits is for those who haven't got 5A*'s to C's, and then they're forced to do Maths & English Language resit with some Business course that's equivalent to 4 GCSE's.
Well done on the results squillyfer, and congrats on yours and getting into your firm Tori :)

Good yes, but french could have beena hell of a lot better, I just scraped C's (one mark off a D in all my modules from this year) so it's last year's that got me a B, which is good. But, I think considering what's happened in the last year, just still actually being alive is good enough!
congrats vikki :)

;592533']I done so much better than I thought I was going to do!
I didn't do brilliant but it's nothing that I can't sort out and boost in resits
R.E- C (DBD in modules)
English Language- D (ECC)
English Literature- D (DDD)... but I did do better in my resit by 13 marks which I was pleased about :D
Biology- U (guess which subject I'm dropping) (UUE)
I was expecting to ail them all... so I'm pleased with my grades. I would have liked to carry on with Biology but I did badly in all 3 modules and I don't want to be resitting a whole subject when I can boost my marks by resitting 1 or 2 modules of the englsih subjects. I'm happy with RE so I think I will leave it as it is because even though I want to do well in my AS I can't forget that next year is A Levels so I don't want to forget about them and focus all my work on AS if you get what I mean? Haha. Oh well I'm pleased :D
Biology has to be one of the hardest A level subjects around. Two of my friends are really clever and were predicted As in all of their subjects and came out with an E and a U :searchme: Shame I failed my biology A level, I thought I hadn't done too bad on the A2 exams. Oh well, all over with now :D :D
i agree with you there, i took biology alevel and got an E, nearly everyone in my year who took biology got Es and Ds and some of them were really clever. it must be one of the hardest, i found it so much more difficult than any of my other subjects

my sis has just come back with her alevel results, she got 2 Bs in sociology and critical thinking and a U in biology. shes really pleased about the Bs and she doesnt care about the U cos she knew she was gonna fail it anyway
anyone who gets a B in Critical Thinking deserves a medal! that it officially the hardest and most boring subject ever! i have a lot of respect for your sister lol!
thanks lol! she got a D at AS so she did well to get a B this year :) i took general studies instead and i know critical thinking was harder than that but didnt know how much harder (although tbh everythings harder than general studies its that easy lol!)

I also have a question fro you guys..
1 - Can you re-sit GCSE's while doing AS levels?
2 - Also say I got a C in Maths and I wanted to take it for AS level (min grade B).. And they allowed me to do so.. Can I re-sit my Maths GCSE while learning Maths AS level?
Thanks :)
i think it differs betweens schools/colleges spicy. i dont think either of the schools i went to (the one i did my gcses at or the one i did my alevels at) let you retake your gcses there, if you wanted to retake them you had to do it in your own time at the college. with doing maths at AS, most subjects at AS require you to get a B at gcse, however in some cases the school/college might let you take the subject if you get a C but probably wouldnt if you got anything lower than a C (at the school i did alevels at you had to get a B to do biology but one of the boys got to do it with only a C at gcse although he was the only one who was allowed to). the best thing to do spicy is if you want to retake any of your gcses or if you only get a C in maths, once youve got your results, on the same day go to the school/college where youre going to do your alevels and talk to them about it, theyll let you know if they will let you retake your gcses while doing alevels and if they will allow you to take AS maths with only a C, depending on the circumstances they might let you. but obviously every place is different so your best bet is to ask about it straight away. dont worry about it though til you get your grades, good luck :)

Well done to you all :)
With regards to resitting GCSEs: my 6th form allow us to retake english and/or maths only. It takes up one period a week and you can take four AS or 3 A levels beside it. The teachers go through the areas that people didn't do well on and concentrate on getting those right instead of teaching the whole course in a year. I think only intermediate level is taught (pretty much everyone who does higher pass anyway) as C is the minimum required for universities/employers.
Intermediate has been scrapped. Last year was the last year that could do that, as you can now get a C on Foundation.
Oh righty, didn't know that. There used to be quite a bit of overlap between foundation and intermediate and intermediate and higher.
I got into Staffordshire!! I got a C and D, not what I needed but I'm not bothered, I'm going to university :cheer:
Well done Abi and Abigail - that's brilliant news!
I am quite pleased with my results, though I was shocked by some of my results...some bits of my course I did well in, but I did a bit badly in other aspects so it brought my grade down
I got:
Media: B (AB in my exams - two marks off an A for my second exam!.. and a C in my coursework)
English: B (AAC in my exams) completely shell shocked! Thought I did alright, but not that well!
ICT: D (DE in my exams and C for coursework)..bit gutted about this result, but I will drop it I think.
Drama: C (A in my performance but CD in my theory exams..I thought I did better in my theory exams but ahh well)..
So the plan is.. I am going to drop ICT probably and resit the C I got in English to try and boost it to an A. :)

I got my results back this morning. I got...
English Lit - B
Politics - B
ICT - A
I needed BBB for uni, and got ABB, so i'm really happy.
got my AS results this morning:
Physics - B (AAD) (thought I'd done bad in it so really pleased)
Psychology - B (ABD) (bit dissapointed, wanted an A but completely messed up the essay paper)
Chemistry - B (BBC)
Maths - C (CCB) (I was expecting to fail so was really pleased again)
Got an A in general studies too but I'm not really counting that
I was a bit worried about them so I'm glad thats over, just got to concentrate on this year and uni now cos I really want to got to dundee so i need three B's and I'm keeping all 4 main subjects so I know I have some hard work ahead of me
Wow well done all of you :D
I havent got mine since Im away, but my parents made sure I didnt forget it was results day

It's sooo difficult... which is why I'm dropping it, but I'm worried now that my A Level subjects won't be varied so I don't think it will benefit me :searchme:
Aww well done everyone on results and getting into your Uni's, you should all be so proud of yourselves :D
As for GCSE's, yeah my year was the last to do Intermediate (which is what I did) and I got a C. But when I asked to take it at AS I wasn't allowed but it may be different at your school so give it a try :) You never know if you don't ask
I didn't think variation mattered so much at A2.. when we were choosing our subjects they said that a contrasting subject at AS can be an advantage.

Variation isn't usually a problem. Do you know what course/subject area you want to study? Some undergrad degrees require an A level in a specific subject. Other than that you'll be fine with your current subjects.

Yeah I wanna do Primary teaching.. I forgot what ebtry requirements are needed, think I'll ahve to check back up on that! Haha
You'll need an A level in a core national curriculum subject such as english, maths, a science, geography or history.
;592655']Yeah I wanna do Primary teaching.. I forgot what ebtry requirements are needed, think I'll ahve to check back up on that! Haha
You have to pick a subject to specialise in, which will probably be one of your A Levels, or Gifted & Talented or Special Needs. Some unis make you pick that to start with when you apply, and some make you pick once you've started. The entry requirements are pretty low, it mainly is work experience that counts. I know someone who got BCDe, and is now a teacher at a very good primary school. And she got her job before she even graduated!
EDIT: She specialised in ICT, by the way.

i dont think unis really mind if you have varied subjects or not, youve done english which is a good subject to have so you should be fine :)
for gcse, they want you to get a B to do the subject and although they sometimes let you do it with a C, my school told us that if you got a C in maths theyd only consider you doing it for alevel if you did the higher paper instead of intermediate

yeh from what ive heard about primary school teaching you need at least 5 gcses grade C or above including maths, english and i think science as well, and i think you have to have done a national curriculum subject at alevel. i dont think it really matters how varied the subjects are, just as long as all your subjects werent things like sociology/psychology/media etc. if in doubt though, check on the uni or ucas website cos that will tell you what each specific uni requires :)

Yeah good luck tomorrow GCSE people :D
You'll be fine seriosuly and I bet you've aced them
Just think at the end of the day it'll be a big relief to finally know what you've got and even if you do rubbish (not that that'll happen) but as long as you know in yourself you put 100% effort into what you did don't worry about it. Exams aren't life or death situations :) They're just exams that yeah may/could throw you off route but at the end of the day can be fixed :thumbsup:
You'll all do fab anyways so yeah GOOD LUCK :D:cheer:
Well said Kirsty, in the grand scheme of things it doesn't matter if you did bad, you can always resit if you really want or need to. Teachers make out that exams are the most important things you will ever do but really they're just a means to an end. As long as you did ok in English and maths then don't worry about it.
I know its easy for me to say that but once you start doing A levels or similar you'll realise that GCSEs really aren't worth stressing about.
Good luck to everyone collecting their results tomorrow, I hope you all get what you want :D
I feel sick...
Looked up the GCSE equivalent to the CSE's my mum got. She won't have a leg to stand on to not be pleased about whatever I've got, she got the equivalent of a D and the rest E's. My dad doesn't have any qualifications so I guess I'll only get a drilling from myself, lol.
Desperate for certain grades in about 3 subjects and not so much with the others now, so I hope I won't end up too disappointed tomorrow.
As long as you're happy with your results, what other people think shouldn't matter.

Awww shame your gonna drop philosphy, I loved our chats :lol: :D
Quick question for those that have already been through this before I go to get the bus; will I be told what happened to the person who stole my coursework? I'll be appalled as will my mum if he's actually got a grade in the subject, but by the looks of it they were actually entering him as he started kicking up a fuss about being moved down to Foundation. Should he actually have been disqualified?
I doubt you will be told. It will all be confidential between the school, boy and exam boards. He may have been disqualified if the exam board thought it warranted disqualification.

Congrats to Moonstorms son what great results, you must be so proud.
To everyone that have got their results, well done and all your hard work has paid off.
Really pleased about some of them but disappointed with a few.
Additional Science - A (How?! Was expecting C at the best!)
Business Studies - A (:crying: A* in mock and I thought I'd done better this time.)
English Language - A (:D Can't believe I managed to get it up to that because I'm rubbish at the speaking assesments; hate speaking in front of people.)
English Literature - B (:crying: Thought I'd done better in that than in Lang.)
Media Studies - A
Core Science - A
History - A
Maths - A (I thought I'd scrape this if I got it at all. Needed 480 and got 505 :eek: :D :D )
RE - A
Geography - A :eek: :D
Bit of a dilema now.. as it's my only B I'm not sure about Lit; I prefer it to Lang but on the basis of my results I'd consider switching to Lang only I can't as it's in the same block as Economics. Can't believe I got A's in Geography and Additional Science when I hardly put any effort into them and then got a B in Lit.
