Woooooooooooo
Got 9A*s, an A^ (further maths) and 2A's (although the school's complaining about the coursework because I and many others got 100% in those exams and then a B in the coursework???? I.e not predicted - but still really happy, and beat my older sister; ka Ching!)


Well done!!! We got exactly the same grades 😀😀
Is it worth getting a remark in English language if I was 2 off an A*?

I'm really confused about my overall I.C.T grade. The examiners (WJEC) must've been generous. I had an A* in my Year 10 coursework but a C in the Unit 1 written paper, yet I had an A overall? I really don't get how an A* and a C equivilate to an overall A? Obviously, I'm thrilled to have that A. I just don't feel like I deserved it because my exam was considerably lower than my coursework, if that makes any sense.

Also, my Welsh examiners must've been coffee addicts as well as generous. There are four questions (including two crossover questions which are the same in both Higher and Foundation Tier). In the crossover writing question, I wrote 3 sentences about coffee (obviously in Welsh) and yet I had a B in the paper. How is my stupidness worth a B? All I can say is I'm thankful that I've had such generous grades.

WJEC is designed to pass you despite the grades in the exams which is why many schools choose it

If that's the case, I'm glad I live in Wales lol. I guess Wales have a kind of advantage as our schools are presumbaly going to choose WJEC. Yes, I am aware that schools in England also take WJEC courses, I'm just saying it's a common thing in wales lol.

Well.. It wasn't bad. I was targeted 5+ A's but only got one. Looking at the UMS, 3 exams I was -5 or less UMS off the A grade.. I might remark but it would be like £200 for OCR
I got an A* in Latin language😋
I was 6 UMS off of an A* in Additional Science, how many raw marks is that?

If you got all A*s in the exams and you got an A overall it may be worth enquiring about it as there may be an error.
Not everyone does and try not to always be comparing your self to others, it isn't healthy. Lots of people dream of getting As, especially in Science, and as long as you're able to do what you want, try not to worry too much.
