Results Day

[Kim]

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.

Wow those are brilliant grades, Dave. And well done to Abi and Abigail for getting into uni. Well done to Kirsty as well; good luck with English resits too, as you say doing well overall would be better than resitting RE.

[Abigail]

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
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

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 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

Well done everyone, i bet thats such a relief knowing you are in!.

[Bryan]

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!

[Abi]

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.

Well done Kirsty - you can always resit to boost those grades up.

Well done Abi as well - they are a brilliant set of grades.

[squillyfer]

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

[.:SpIcYsPy:.]

Brillaint stuff squillyfer! Well done!

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
