    For me so far:

    GCSE Maths : A*
    GCSE Physics: A*
    GCSE Chemistry: A*
    GCSE History: A*
    Business Studies: Distinction*(A*)
    OCR Nat. ICT (Single Award): Distinction (A)
    GCSE Biology: A
    GCSE English lit: A
    GCSE English Lang: A

    Btw, i only had 1 year (year 11) to do year 10+11 exams! so bassically 2 years work in one.
    Should probs be getting the same in june.

    Edit: Certain guys/gals are jealous... dunno why i got negs when im saying the truth??
    Maybe it's because you're coming across as a boast? You seem very cocksure and speaking from experience, that is absolutely the worst way to go into exams. I'm not lecturing, just warning...

    Maths A*
    Biology A*
    Chemistry A*
    Physics A*
    English Lang A*
    English Lit A*
    CiDA (ICT) A*A*

    Music A - judging from my performance on Monday's paper.

    The plethora of subjects I do has literally just dawned on me. Can't wait til IB next year (just 6 subjects: Biology Chemistry Philosophy HL English Maths Japanese SL.) I see myself being a psychiatrist in the long run. Doctor shadowing next month - can't wait. Would love to do Medicine at UCL if I'm lucky.

    Re: What grades are you on right before going into the exams?
    I'm in Year 9 n_n; So I've only done one-ish(?) exam:
    Biology (Modular): A (one mark away from an A* AND I'M NOT EVEN ALLOWED TO RETAKE. ==; )
    Spanish (Controlled Assessment): A
    Food Tech/Product Design Courswork: A (90/90 I don't understand how it's an A but ok ;_; )

    Hoping to get:
    Maths - A* n_n; I got an A in the Year 10 higher past paper at school heh.
    Statistics - A
    English Lit - A (?)
    English Language - A (?) Oh god, I hate English.
    Biology (Modular - B4-7) - A/A* Idk
    Chemistry (Linear) - A
    Physics (Linear) - A* I love Physics ^^
    Psychology - A*
    Food Technology - A or maybe B, but I don't want anything below an A so I'll probably resit if I do get a B.
    Business Studies - A, maybe A*
    Spanish - A (low, low, low A)
    History - C, although I get As on my mock, I hate History. And that stupid teacher I have and his stupid ways of teaching and his stupid sarcastic remarks bleh.
    IT - A* I don't mind ICT. Pretty good at it ^^

    I'd hate to have anything below an A. I'm trying to get higher marks than my sister heh. n_n; So I'll dedicate my whole summer to revising for the linear exams and etc. ;_; And I'll replace my social life with revision. And stuff. ok. T^T Enough bragging, sorry ._.

    My AS results are ABB. I want to get the A to an A* which I know I will be able to do if I work hard and apply myself (which I'm not doing at the moment) and I'd love to get my English Lit to at least an A, preferably A* but I don't really think I'm A* material. I find History really difficult and I would love to get that to an A but I don't think I can

    No, it isn't. If he were able to post once every second, it would take approximately 7.39 x 1018 millennia to achieve. To further contextualise that, this is 7.39 million-million-million-million-million-million-million years.

    I think it's just in his location details.

    All Cs -_-
    That's what they expect me to get by the end of my GCSEs, however I've already completed a couple of subjects and got higher than a C so..

    Ah, it is. Never mind. I looked at it again and I noticed that there's a space after 'Posts:'. He only has 117 for his post count, heh. n_n;

    Ah I completely don't see the point of that! Might as well be honest Although fair do's if any of them get those grades, they're very good haha
    I'd really like an A* in Biology GCSE but I have to get 94% in my final module I guess an A it is then haha, still a good grade though

    Ikr. I don't understand why either. They're probably writing down what they want to achieve, not what they did achieve but meh and they also probably want people to start going "wow, omg how did u get those grades omg omg???!!!" yeah...
