Lancaster
I need a B but it's not going to happen
I lost my passion for the subject too my sketch book has about 5 images in
got an A in my first unit and then a D in my exam last year and now I think I got 2 C's in these units so it'll average at a C
but it's my own fault
and c'mon, shoulda motivated yourself!!

Re: How is everyone feeling about results? TSR poll!which exam bored ?(Original post by EatRainbows)
Physics went horribly, the only thing getting me through is that it's normally 50% ish for an A -

Re: How is everyone feeling about results? TSR poll!No, it was Unit 4. It was terrible paper in my opinion.(Original post by brittanna)

Re: How is everyone feeling about results? TSR poll!
im defo confident, once you've actually done all the past papers for each subject hundreds of times, it just becomes simple logic in the exam. was stressful at the start but bit by bit i actually could do a whole paper within 10-25 mins getting over 80% and in some cases getting full marks, seriously a-levels are just about revising and learning mark schemes even though i **** around in college with mates i still pull out with great grades.

I did that too, woke up thinking "bugger! failed maths that's it now, end of the road for me.....hang on...nevermind
"
exam results day is messing with our brains. I actually believed for a few minutes that I did physics...

Re: How is everyone feeling about results? TSR poll!If you've done a paper many times and then you just repeat it again then how can you not get 100%?(Original post by Seek Help)

Re: How is everyone feeling about results? TSR poll!But if you're tricking yourself into thinking you did badly just to make it easier then surely you know you're just tricking yourself so it doesn't really work? I.e. you have an actual feeling on how you did rather than just feeling pessimistic almost 'for the sake of it'.(Original post by MidnightShadow)
Preparing for the worst as I feel being pessimistic and being happily surprised is better than being optimistic and being disappointed XD -
Re: How is everyone feeling about results? TSR poll!That's exactly my case, so I'm doing the same!(Original post by Purple Giraffe)
I have a bad habit of thinking it's gone really well and actually doing terribly, and vice versa. So right now I'm trying to convince myself I've failed, seems to have worked in the past :P

Re: How is everyone feeling about results? TSR poll!I feel half the questions I did in my geography exam I blagged it - my mind went blank for some of the questions. Frustratingly, after the exam and talking to people the answer was pretty straight forward(Original post by breakeven)
I genuinely have no idea. I do essay subjects and I did that thing where your mind goes blank and you just 'blag it'.
Now I just have to wait and see if it was good blagging or if I wrote a bunch of nonsense :/
I wish results day would come quicker, I need to know!
Currently, I am just trying not to think about results day, but inevitably I always end up thinking about it. I think it could go either way, hopefully it will go the way I want

Re: How is everyone feeling about results? TSR poll!
I resat the entirety of year 12 biology and psychology alongside doing the year 13 topics and year 13 english language, because I was determined not to have to retake year 12 and stick around at home for an extra one - some pretty good motivation right there, I worked my arse off this year after having ****ed up AS. But it was a whole lot of work and I was really ill during some of the resits, so I keep swinging between 'I must made it' and '****, I totally didn't make it'. I guess in the end, even if I didn't make it and end up resitting year 13, I knew at the start that trying to avoid having to stay in sixth form for an extra year was a longshot. I'm just terrified if I do have to retake year 13, I won't get another offer from Exeter (been my first choice Uni since I started researching them during GCSE's). I need ABB.

Re: How is everyone feeling about results? TSR poll!That sounds so hard, I'm glad I only had to do FM in a year to make uni now, and that seemed like a killer at times. I hope you get the grades you need from all the work.(Original post by tiana_tiara)
