Am I the only oneWho won't look at grade boundaries the night before results day.
I want to go with an open mind because I just feel like it will spoil it for me!
E.g. For Maths, if the boundary for an A* is 170 I will know before I even get my results that I haven't got my A* for Maths, but if they are 150 I will know I probably have.
I just want it all to be a surprise.
Anyone else doing the same thing or am I the only one? :PLast edited by Coke1; 30-07-2012 at 23:51. -

I think Maths will be the only one I will look at, because that way I won't get my hopes up for getting an A if the grade boundaries are more than what I hope for(Original post by Coke1)

Re: Am I the only oneDo or do not, it will not neither comfort you nor change your input on the exam day.
Regarding keeping an open mind, I admire your attitude!
I wish I was so, two years ago. I tumbled and rolled in bed for many nights overthinking and then double-checking what I thought I had achieved.
And to no avail - still had surprises and disappointments.
Keep yourself occupied and the time will fly until the big day! -
