From that, will A Level grade boundaries still be judged by the way the whole country performs, or from the performance will the boundaries be capped so only a certain percentage achieves each grade?

Oh sorry, I skipped a few pages after the number of posts exploded :tongue:

Don't think I could deal with little kids tbh.

I had 22 today, aged between 3-9ish. Similar numbers for the next few days. Thursday I have well over 30. Keeping them entertained for 7 straight hours is not the easiest feat :biggrin:

i just want to know if there is a higher suicide rate due to results day, if you think im a troll then guess what? I dont give a ****.

You're polite. Well, for your information, I have a source to back up what I said earlier, but because you behave like that, I'm not going to tell you :h:

now sit in the naughty corner and be quiet.

EDIT: :teehee:

, DanielMartin, if this is you and your numerous other accounts, there'll be trouble :wink:

It's still judged on how everyone does - it just means that the top 8.2% get an A*, the top 27% get an A and so on and so forth.

Entirely dependent on the exams and the intelligence of our year really :tongue:

How do you do it? :lol:

I think it helps that my maturity level isn't much higher than theirs :biggrin:

Honestly though, people always ask me that and other than the obvious tiredness/loss of voice that comes with it, I love every second of it. I can't imagine not doing it...

A little bit, but I don't think the clearing places for English uni's go live until A-Level results day just the Scottish ones. I do agree about the extra time they get though...

:sexface:

oh good so not as unfair then, still they have more preparation time but ah well, still will be good to see how they all do in terms of getting in

I want it to come now but I don't at the same time. If that even makes sense.

Im just impatient. Been bothering me long enough how it is. Plus i want to plan my stuff for Uni, and my powerlifting competitions since two are in close range of Newcastle.
