Is anybody else surprised by how worried they are? I'm usually pretty chilled about exams and results day, but I'm really stressing out about these.

I think it's because for the first time there is genuine pressure, and scary consequences of doing badly (going to insurance rather than firm. Or worse going to neither! :P)

I thought I'd be panicking but really it doesn't seem to be bothering me at all...

The paper was sooo easy lol. But I hope you are right!!!!! What are your boundary predictions?


Even though I messed up an easy 5 marker on that paper I feel blessed to have done it instead of last year's 😂

Thought I'd interrupt and predict boundaries too for A*:

C3 - 67
C4 - 69
FP2 - 67
FP3 - 70 (hopefully lol)
M2 - 67
M3 - 69/70/71

Edit: tbh I have no idea for M2, M3 or FP2 but there's my guestimates

I don't think they actually have been leaked but if anyone has found leaked grade boundaries do let us know!

Yeah im surprised on how calm I am although that wont last for long lol.

I agree with you - there is definte pressure and a lot hinges on these results. It was the same for me in AS as I needed high UMS for Cambridge (which i got so i got the interview). Also there are family and friends that add to the pressure. If I dont do well (which is a possibiliy) then I will have lots of family members and friedns being shocked and it will be embarassing. And plus i dont want to tell my results to people who will take the piss if I fail, However whether good or bad the results just remember you can still achive your dreams in life:smile:

Good luck!!!


I didn't really feel much pressure for AS results as I had no particular unis in mind; maybe that's why this year's results day has hit me so hard :P

My dad went to the same Uni as I've firmed, so I'm defo feeling the family pressure too :/

Good luck to you too!

We think the same practically!!! I would take these bounderies now.
fp2 could be lower if only 1% got the differerntial question fully correct

That SCLY4 exam was just horrible! I feel like I'm not going to get into my firm because of that exam and plus the Psychology exams were horrible too. I need AAB for Warwick, but I think I'll end up with A*BB/C - A* in History, B in Sociology and B in Psychology. The SCLY3 exam was a dream and I feel like I can get near full marks, but SCLY4, I just did horrific in it! I'm so scared for results! Thanks AQA for messing us up


I'm not that confident for SCLY3
I really need an A in Sockology because Politics was just awful...and English I am certain I got a B
I want to go to SOAS!
Will the grade boundaries be released at midnight as usual?

Out of curiosity, what's your insurance?

I'm sure you did brilliant :smile:

I think everyone has that feeling.. I'm dreading it to. My plan is to be the first one to arrive and then leave.

If I get ABB/AAB/AAC I would be at the temple every week.

Yeah that's true I'd forgot about that question, I think I did double IBP in the end.

I don't actually need an A* in FM for my course but I think I'm so close I'd still be a little annoyed if I missed out... Good luck for results day 🙏🏾

Ahh because it's a London uni and it's expensive? Respect for getting an offer though!

You revised a lot I'm sure you did amazing. At least you get to see if you go the grades for Cambridge. I have to go in and get my results and then see if I can apply for Bristol/Nottingham or not :s-smilie:
Anyone else having sleeping problems/nightmares? :biggrin:
When/where can we see examiner reports? (Thanks @MoonVirgo btw :h:)

Yeah, and it's 'not worth moving away from home for' apparently.

Thanks, I really hope all that revision shows itself in my results :colondollar:

Ahh are you applying with a gap year? I really hope you do well! What course do you want to study?
