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
good luck to everyone whos getting results, hope you all do great! :)
are you not gonna find out your results til you get home then?Quote:

All the best to all who are waiting on their A'level results!
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!

He was relieved I think!
Good luck everyone! Im heading back to college in September to do media.
good luck everyone.
i'm so glad my days of results are behind me.
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.Quote:

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.
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?''Quote:

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.
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?
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.
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.Quote:

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)..Quote:

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.
Yeah please can tell me how it looks on paper for GCSE's.. I want to know where to look and what to expect lol :) Thanks x
I've been looking all around the internet for this answer too and found different in different places.
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!Quote:

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 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.Quote:

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 grades. I never understood them.
