It's all too negative around the forums methinks D:
So any good surprises? Where you (or someone else) expected you to do really badly but didn't or where the UMS shined in your favour?
I think I'm very, very happy to pull up my U in C4 (maths) from the mocks a few weeks before exams up to a high A, thanks to the generous UMS and lots of caffeine :]

I didn't think I'd make the A in psychology because of the synoptic. Ended up 97/105 and thus I got my A. Was also pleasantly surprised at my english language synoptic mark - 106/120! I thought it hadn't gone too well, to be honest. Such a fantastic day and I'm so pleased with my results.
I totally disagree with C4! (were you on AQA) i was expecting at least a B, thought it went great, and got a C, one mark off a B. Grade boundaries were 85% for A, 75% for B etc. Poo!
But i did get 115/120 on PYA5 which was a lovely surprise
87/100 in C4 (Edexcel), I learnt it 6 weeks before the exams when I realised my school would not even start teaching C4 to the Further Maths students until the end of exams
Don't ... some people have an natural ability for certain things. He's average for his age in everything else. I ditched maths after GCSE - I like an easy life
A B in FP3 is good going - definitely worth celebrating! Vectors are evil

Thanks I feel a bit better now!
Even tho it's just a B I got the highest in our year (out of 4 ppl but still they were all clever!!)...
It was vectors and differential equations that I am so glad that I don't have to do again...your right in saying vectors are evil!!!
