We had an English mock on the second day of term and got the results today. It was higher paper and I got one mark off a C and I'm not happy. I got 22/27 on the writing section and we were rushed on the reading as the lesson started late and I couldn't do all of the questions as I ran out of time. I got 8/27 on that so I'm not happy when I'm supposed to be at the top of the set and about 5 people that I know of got C's.

Dont worry about it, at the end of the day its only a mock , and the idea is thats what you improve on. Id be a complet failure if we went on our Mock resuts.

I thought the idea was that you get 2 grades higher but I wouldn't be happy with a B.

It's the same situation as me Kim, i am in top set for English and i was getting Ds at the start of Year 10, the only reason why your getting low marks is that you've just started the English GCSE course. They will probably expect you to get a high mark at the end of the whole course when you get your results next year, the just expect you to improve to get a better mark. I've jumped up from a D to a B. It's just all about improving, i was in the same situation. :)

Glad to know that it can't just be me that feels stupid after getting a D. I also should be getting extra time so fingers crossed for me as the expectations are high.

my mocks start 4th of december and have my gcse's this year but I'm not too worried cos I've already done one gcse(resistant materials) a year early and got a B so its not as scary now

Cool, well done! :) I have half a gcse in science really and i got a c in that, and i have done quite a lot of coursework which adds up as well.
