Haha please do, and is your avatar an ompa lumpa ?

Back in my GCSEs i was always terrible at english i had Cs in my coursework and Ds and Es in every class and mock assessment. I came out of my language in literature exams feeling terrible and thinking i'd have to resit englisg at college. In my language exam i wrote in the wrong format and in literature i misunderstood the poem. I told my english teacher what i wrote and she said i'll probably get a D in lit and language. It got 2 A*s (100℅ in lit and 92℅ in language). I was completely overwhelmed.

Yeah

Ok so I know 2 cases.

1) One of my friends had a boyfriend during her AS year and because of that, she neglected her A levels and came out with 4 Us. Naturally she had to retake the year and in that time, she became single again and worked harder than she had done before. That summer, she got AABD.

The summer after she walked out her school with A*AA and now has just finished her first year at Bristol.

2) Last year, I made friends with a girl in my Maths class and she was retaking Year 12 because of severe panic attacks affecting her exams. She also came out with UUUU. I spoke to her back in Jan (I left my old school) and she's currently holding a Cambridge offer for Law.

I literally had a breakdown in the middle of my AS Economics exam and had to be taken out of the room because I'd filled in the multiple choice sheet wrong and all of my answers were in the wrong rows. After I went back in, I finished the exam and was sure that I'd done horrendously. To my great surprise I got 79 UMS, and an A overall when combined with the other unit. To my even greater surprise, my marks had been added up wrong (I got my paper back), and I ended up getting 81 UMS, so a more solid A!

I ****ed up, was depressed af but im the happiest ive ever been since in my insurance uni

Ah I'm pleased to know it worked out for you ; just shows getting obsessed with your firm choice is silly when most people end up happy no matter where they go, given it's what you make of it at the end of the day haha

its a completely different course you see and i really want to do the course that i firmed so i plan on doing that after this degree cus you can! rn life is great! i have accepted that ill be in education for 6 more years and im okay with it

its all about the mindset and how you choose to go forward! positivity is key!

I knew a guy who was an average joe in his GCSEs. He spent most of his time playing football and hanging out with his mates, than his head in the books. When his mum passed away before the start of his year 12 , he decided to do what his mum always told him what he was good at. He did 5 A-levels: Maths, Further Maths, Additional Further maths, Physics and Economics. His results was: A*A*A*A*A

For my Highers in 2013, I was absolutely, positively, completely certain I had failed my maths exam, I would have honestly put money on it lol but I ended up getting a b and being recommend for advanced higher

Just over a week ago, you guys may remember a thread called 'Results day horror stories'. A few of you were saying that we were insensitive considering that results were right round the corner

So we will try something different as we approach results day - have you got any stories about when you thought that you weren't going to do well with results but you did? Have you got any stories about results that ended happily? Do you feel you've done well for your impending results?

My example: Back in the day when I did my GCSEs, I had no idea how I was going to do. When I went and picked up my results, I decided to go down an alleyway incase I was going to have breakdown over it - luckily I did well and got into college I remember shouting 'Yes!' out loud quite cringey thinking back to it

You know the drill guys - let's have some positive vibes

(Inspiring is a bit misleading It can be anything that is happy!)
