    Fairly confident, for two of my subjects I only need an E and a D to get As

    Pretty confident, I only need an E and a C to get As in Physics and Spanish, so I'm going to try and get A* in Further Maths and Physics and would love one in Spanish but it's unlikely unless the essay's nice.

    My name is Zhy, and I'm hoping for a clean sweep of 100 UMS.

    Sorry, but aren't some modules out of 140-50 UMS?

    Its easy to want a good grade but a completely different story trying to achieve it. I'm doing thirteen GCSE's so ideally I want 13 A*s - am I gonna get it? Probably not. So in my opinion, you should stay optimistic but realistic. So I hope to get 8A*s & 5As. But only time can tell.

    My teacher was telling my about the possibility of getting A* in English. She says it's a possibility, all I have to do is get 120 in the last exam. Obviously I ask what's this exam out of, it's out of 120.

    It's a possibility I guess...
