    Oh, fair enough.

    You remind of some kid in my class who is doing something similar. He was gunna do a load of modules in Jan - but couldn't get to school due to the snow. :yep:
    You do it self-taught as well? That sucks badly for him. I made sure to leave atleast 20 minutes early in the morning just incase and half of my exams were in the afternoon anyways (I think..not fully sure)

    wow that sucks. my parents think I can do anything and that getting into medicine should be a piece of cake for me :o:

    Gah. Same.
    My dad thinks I'm unique in getting high grades, he seems blinkered to the fact that a lot of people will have the same or better grades and me.
    There's being confident you're in for a chance, and getting your hopes up too far -.-

    Well, I'm aiming for 13 A*s. Everyone should be aiming for A*s in my opinion, you don't have much to lose by trying your best.
    Realistically though, here are my predicted grades:

    Welsh Lang: A
    Welsh Lit: A*
    English: A*
    English Lit A*
    Maths: A
    ICT Short Course: A*
    RE: A
    French: A
    Business: A*
    Art: B
    Chemistry: A
    Physics: A
    Biology: A

    I'd really like to get an A* in maths, so I'm going to try really hard to get that. I think I'm capable of an A* in RE, and I think I'll get a better Art grade. I hope French goes up to A*.
    I think some will end up being Bs or possibly Cs though, but I hope not. They're good, but my brother's predicted all A*s so any Bs will seem rubbish next to him. =(

    I'm hoping forrr... uhh.. 14 A*-B, plus one B at AS.
    Would have much perferred 14 A/A*, but I didn't do too well in my Physics when I fast-tracked it.

    Food Tech A*
    History A*
    Double science A* A*

    I would be really happy with this but would also like an A* in German but it's unlikely..
    Also 98% is the grade boundary for drama due to the high standards of drama schools!

    I've already posted but I want to add more detail

    I'm predicted 3A*s (Drama, English Lanuage and Spanish) but I'm aiming for....

    English Language A*
    English Lit A* (I hope!)
    Additional Science A*
    Maths A
    Drama A*
    Dance A* (I don't see this happening but I'm trying really hard!)
    Business Studies A*
    French A/A* (Really pushing for the top grade!)
    Spanish A*
    R.E A*
    P.E **Dist** (But who cares--it's BTEC :p:)

    Basically I've just set my own targets a grade higher than what the teachers have targeted me at (bar Maths because the highest I'm ever going to get is an A).
