I'm getting Unit 2s for the three sciences.
Confident that the Chemistry is going to be okay, uncertain about Biology but from what I've read here the grade boundaries will be pretty low, and have 0 confidence with the Physics. Hopefully, I'll surprise myself.

At the end of the day, I guess, they're not final exams so I shouldn't be upset if I get lower results than I want, though.

I'm getting results for the unit 2's as well and I feel exactly the same way for each paper :smile: dreading biology and physics though

If you two have a quarrel to be settled please do the polite thing and take it to the Private Message System and not spam this results thread with your bickering. Thank you.


Sorry. I will in future. My bad.

I only sat 4 exams and unfortunately I am expected to receive some high grades, which I think I will have, but you never really know!

My exams and predictions and are Biology (A*), Chemistry (A*), Physics (A*) and AS-ICT (A/B)

EDIT: Love howI get negged just because I get predicted good grades! Whoever negged clearly can't get these grades and is annoyed; It's just sad mate.

I have never heard of someone taking this subject for an AS early.Do you have to get someone official for your coursework or is that A2?

No I am doing it through my school. I did the full GCSE ICT in year 9, and because I got an A*, I decided to do the AS in year 10 and 11. I know a couple of other year 11s who are doing this on the "Current Year 11 Thread"

Unlucky mate. My friend at another school did that and he is really annoyed because OCR Nationals aren't appreciated much even though the ICT is still equivalent to GCSEs and you put a lot of work in for it.

They are fully respected and count as GCSEs.

2 Distinction=A*A
2 Merit=AB
2 Pass=CC
2 Fail=UU

Whether other people see it as that is a completely different question though.

Dalek 1099 even though that technically is the case, most people treat it to be below the standard of GCSE. I'm in year 11 and have been applying to sixth form and my friends who are also in the same predicament, have been applying and most schools they apply to didn't take into account the grades of OCR Nationals, and so really regret it. But, don't worry you wll still have lots of other GCSEs.

Exactly. I never did them myself, fortunately I took the GCSEs, but from what I have heard they are a lot of hard work yet there receive no credit whatsoever. May schools and colleges completely disregard them, as seems to be the case with you.
