I know if had tried a little bit harder i could have easily got As and A*s but i kept procrastinating. Now i think i'm gonna end up with mostly Bs. Longest summer ever, filled with regrets.

Anyone else who has regrets about their gcses?

Agree with you
I think most people will have similar feelings with you, just forget about it and enjoy your summer

Don't worry too much, Bs are still respectful. Resits are always an option, and anyway, universities tend to focus more on A levels, recognising that people develop at different rates.

For most people, we will inevitably end up finding that on Results Day we'd done a lot better than we thought. Use this as a lesson for next year.

Hey, don't feel regret now. Everything is done and you can't do anything about it. I felt like I hadn't tried hard enough for gcses and ended up with 3 As, 4 Bs and 3 Cs, good but not great.

If you do get the grades you want, great. But if you don't, this will be motivation for your a-levels to get even better grades.

Good luck!

I regret things too, gr

Last year I would've been like I started too late, I didn't finish the syllabus etc lol. This year I took into account all of those mistakes and made sure I started early and forced myself to follow a timetable. It feels weird but I can honestly say I have no regrets, I tried my ultimate hardest at them. I suppose I'll just accept what I get on results day now. Haven't thought about results very much either which is weird as last year I was going crazy... oh how things have changed..

Good luck though everyone.

I feel the same in some respects. If only I'd aimed higher, I would've achieved higher. Unfortunately, I didn't bother to aim higher until it was a bit late.

Same.

That's exactly how I felt this time last year- I ended up doing better than I expected (not brilliantly, but better) and then discovering that GCSE's really don't matter that much in the grand scheme of things.

Stop worrying and enjoy your summer!

Same way I feel.. Thankfully I only did a few modules as im in year 10...
It wasnt relaly my fault this year though, my anxiety started up and messed me up for a coupla weeks

It is excellent that you're thinking like this, GCSE's turn slackers into hard workers.
If you do a-levels your GCSE's will become almost meaningless except that they will have taught you to work hard (prepare for a cliché) and so you will achieve your full potential.

People say GCSE's are useless, maybe they are on paper, but, they teach you so much.

Yep, when I think about the amount of time I wasted doing anything but revision, it really gets to me D:
