Results Day

Well done Hollie that's brill! :):):cheer:

I did those modules but they were AQA ones so it could be that all the boards have B1a, B1b etc. Ours was 25% practical though. For the practical do you have to do an ISA exam? I hated those, so glad I never have to do them again. Even the teachers think they're hard.

For those who don't know - we get two GCSEs for science, one in year 10 and one in year 11.

I got:

P1a - A* P1b - C

B1a - A B1b - B

C1a - B C1b - A

And for each internal assesment I got A*s. Full marks in both chemistry - which we did in year 9 and in Biology

Overall I have a B so far but we have yet to get the 10% in each subject for practical grades, and so have been told by my teachers that I should be getting an A overall (: Dead chuffed with that (: .

So the other problem is finding something extra currular for him - he isn't sporty at all, by his own admission, and mine as a rose tinted mum, he is useless at sport. So I don't know what else he could look at :searchme:

Try and get him doing things that relate to medicine and health care, because that is what the universities are really interested in. Things like helping at an old people's home for a few hours a week, or at a hospice. He is probably... 14? 15? So most hospitals won't let him do lots of work experience just yet. But other areas of health care are just as important. Then get the school to help with getting work experience in year 10, and he can get some contacts when he's there to get more experience. Doing things like sports are all well and good, but medicine is soo competitive that he will need a major amount of experience to really help his application stand out.

well done hollie :)

Thanks guys (:

Yeah I think we did do the ISAs.
We got told the answers by the teachers though! Or as they put it - we will be doing these questions today that are very similar to the ones in the test.

Results day is approaching...

Nearly 8 days to go until AS/A Level results come out on August 20th.

GCSE results are out a week later on August 27th.

How is everyone feeling?

Even though I have an unconditional offer from my firm university, I still really hope I've done well in my A Level exams. I am predicted ABC but all I pray for is at least a B in English.

I posted elsewhere that my son got his SQA Higher results. He didn't make the 5 As that would have allowed him to apply anywhere, but he can still apply to several medical schools and hope that he gets straight As in his 3 advanced highers.

Unfortunately your university entrance in Scotland for medicine is based on your 5th Year Higher results.

He got:

Maths A
Biology A
Music A
English B
Chemistry B

He also passed his grade 8 trombone, and is just finishing his DoE Gold.

He will need to get predicted an A at AH chemistry to make up for the B at Higher, to be honest I don't like his chances of getting in.

We have our leaving cert results (similar to A Levels) out today.. waiting to hear how 2 of my nieces and 2 of my nephews got on.

I am actually quite nervous!
I'm hoping I've got the C in maths to be able to do my college courses. As I was put into set 3 at the beginning of this year - a C is the max I can get :(

I know I wont have done that good in history - I just didn't have any way of getting any of the info to stick in my head!

Good luck everyone!
