I worked so ******* hard on my German - especially my coursework which I spent months on! I came out with a D overall. Thank **** my AS grades were OK (BBD) because my EEE to add this year epically affected it!
Ha! Thinking about it, last year I had to practically self-teach myself the course and I got 1 hour guidance time a week at another school, this year I get 9 hours a week (well, actually maybe not because one of my teachers kept cancelling :s-smilie:

) so about 5 hours a week plus oral time with a native speaker and I get really crap results!

Studied History loads, but ended up getting a C. My A2 english grade was the same as last year's and my Psychology grade had gone up a grade from last year. I still got into Uni, so I don't really mind :biggrin:

ABC. I needed AAB. Gutted, but not much I can do now - such is life. Just need to get on with it, maybe get some work experience etc. otherwise I just won't get anywhere...

last year I got a D in my AS Drama. So I retook 2 modules where my teacher said ive improved loads and that the coursework I retook could be an A/B. I also worked extremely hard for my A2 Drama where I was balancing A2 coursework and the resits (AND other subjects too) which meant I even cut a few hours of sleep. My teacher predicted me an A in Drama. What was my actual result? Yet another ******* D!!!!!!!!!! =O!!

I still get to do it at uni though =) with English lol.

Same here with Economics for me. A whole year's worth of hard work to get an A, and I end up with a B :frown:

Maths can roll over and die :angry:

Your sig (with UCAS) is exactly how I feel after finding out my AS results :cry:

Can I just say Fuuck you AQA. Fuuck you.

first they lose my AS paper and don't bother give me the make up grade for it. then on the resit I had to take cause of their cock up i got an E. Not fair. especially considering that I got an A on my other AS resit I am very pissed. Who knows if that paper they lost was an A too. [ it is possible as I went up 31 marks on my resit that was an A]

Everyone is talking bout getting no sleep and working so hard. Maybe no sleep is the reason you didn't get the grades you wanted?

I recommend to everyone that you ask for your dissapointing results to get remarked ASAP. I know people who have gone up 2 and even 3 grades.

Because, ~reality check~ the markers are humans who are marking the same thing over and over and they will miss stuff and mark papers incorrectly. In fact, I believe Edexcel had a major rethink of it's markers' training recently because it turned out the majority of the dummy exams they gave their markers were incorrectly marked (and most of the time marked down by too much).

You've nothing to lose!

Yeah. I worked about 5 hours a day on History the week before the exam; then I thought I absolutely aced it. Just found out I got a C :/. Most odd.

but the grade boundries for history this year (if u did OCR) were REALLY tight....like I was one of the only people in our year to get a high B in the coursework, everyone else got Ds and Us and my history class is really brainy....so I wouldn't sweat it out too much some years it depends on the day, the examiner and the grade boundries.
