Me, too! I really need to make sure I get good grades, and I'm already all kinds of stressed about how I'm going to turn my grades around. 😂

Having gotten good grades that really don't count for much, i need to make sure i don't get complacent and end up with Us :s-smilie:
But we can definitely manage to get good grades this year :u:

I know I'm going to be stressed out regardless, so i may as well work hard and get good grades out of it :lol:
That said, I'm going to try enjoy myself more, hopefully I'll pass my driving test soon and be able meet up with friends easier :h:

Just buy your teacher chocolates to bump up your grade prediction!

I just charm them with some banter :biggrin::biggrin:
I'm starting tomorrow bright and early with a meeting with my head of sixth form about which subject I'm actually dropping and how annoyed my family is about them messing me around with what I can and can't drop...

Should be fun! :redface:

I got AAB at AS and i really don't know whether my business teacher will give me an A* prediction, like I'm top of the year in this subject, but i did poor on unit 1 but got practically full marks on unit 2. I just hope he looks beyond my exam performance and looks at the straight 100% I achieved all year :colone:. What grade predictions are you needing?

True that, I wish I went to a school in which everyone lives locally, only seen like 5 friends this summer as they are the only ones who live in like a 5-10 mile radius :s-smilie:

Me too, need A*A*AA at least... hopefully better but my teachers are so strict about predictions doubt they would budge if they have already predicted me an A :colonhash: And going to try and see uni applications as a fun journey, a new start etc maybe if I say it enough the stress will go away

It's exciting, because you know that wherever you go will be your home for 3/4 years, and new opportunities will pop up from that!

I want high predicted grades because it really motivates me, but i think I'm going to be predicted AAA :frown: (Don't get me wrong they're good predictions), but I'm applying to do law and this is basically the bare minimum entry requirements.

But I'm really excited where ever i go, i can't wait for the freedom :h:

5/6 years for me lol and it would be exciting if it was not for the fact that 67% of all medicine applicants get four rejections, ahhh
