Official GCSE Results Day 2016 Thread (TODAY!)

I don't get why people are saying it doesn't feel real. Don't you get results after exams? It's not new, is it?!

It doesn't feel 'real' because these are actually the biggest exam results will have and our first qualifications! Of course after a mock exam we get results but getting GCSE results seems surreal as we spent 5 years for this moment studying and it will be here in just over a day!

And it's the first time we've waited 2 months for results!

So did I! I'm awful at French (it's my worst subject) but I didn't find the exam *that* bad. You?

Aw really? I'm pretty sure you're great at it and will have done brilliantly! :smile:

But yeah, I didn't think the exams were that bad compared to other years, but i guessed most of it! If the grade boundaries for cw stay the same then I should have gone an A* for both my writing and a B and an A for my two speaking so I hope I've done enough to get at least a B so I can do it at A-level, Good luck!

I'm feeling very anxious! I guess luckily for me it's not my first time getting proper results as I sat my English literature and Maths GCSE a year early so I've already had the panic last year of waiting to pick them up from the school.

But that was only 2 results, this time it's way more! :frown:

I did AQA, can't remember what courses but yeah, you can only drop 4-5 marks! And 4-5 marks are SPaG. So, if you are bad at SPaG and loose all marks for that then you can only drop 1 content mark!!

Is that religious studies B - you had to answer questions on 4 topics?

Am I the only that feels fairly calm about results day - I'm not super panicked about the results I get but just where I'm going to open my results :biggrin:

You're not alone. I'm more nervous about how I'll actually open them too! :biggrin:

Thanks! I hope you get the grades you need to get. My teacher didn't even tell me the marks for my coursework, only that it was good enough for me not to redo it, which could mean anything!

I got a U in the mock but because coursework is weighted heavily I came out with a C for my mock grade, but as this exam, as you said, was easier compared to other years, I'm hoping for a B but still anticipating a C!

I've heard languages at a-level are really hard too!
