So glad i saw this thread , i cant sleep i keep remembering the papers and how they went
Never been so stressed im actually counting the hours this is tough .

[snailsareslimy]

I fluctuate between freaking out and wanting to cry, to being really chilled and not caring.
I think though as this week goes on, I'll start to freak out more and more

[snailsareslimy]

Oh, PS: 4 days until universities receive our results (roughly)... BEAUTIFUL.

[FallenDeath]

I have been watching Game of thrones and walking dead. I forgot about results day for a few moments but it always came back haunting me. D:

What the hell? I'm only getting my AS results this year so mine might not be as important but I dont imagine I'll be freaking out like you guys in a years time..

Oh...you will be. Unless you're doing Maths, Chemistry, Physics and FM, and you're pretty solid on content, and have very strong UMS by the time of the final exam season you will. As those subjects are pretty much, you either know it or you don't. Whereas with essay subjects, you can know the universe, but if the examiner doesn't feel it's valid, you won't get the mark.

Enjoy your freedom. But if you are studying the above just make sure you know the content and you most probably won't be nervous at all. You can guarantee A's by March next year if you work hard enough.

I've been countine down the days, it started of 29 days. I cant sleep at night, every night i like research on last years results, other peoples success, grade boundaries, what marks i need, its endless. Tbh i just want 9 days to hurry up. I onlu get around 5 hours sleep during the day. Best thing to do is prepare for anything, best and worst therfor less worryin.

This is what I was hoping to do until the stupid news came out about 27% people getting As, I really felt Im probably scrapping As, I just feel soo down ;( and i dont even know my results yet....there goes AAA dream...

[Rosa Arabelle]

Absolutely terrified of Results day.

I'll probably have a breakdown when I finally hold my results in my hand.

This. So. Much.

Three of my A-level subjects are essay-based >__>

I'm not too worried about results day but I'd be lying if I said I was completely relaxed. I only really get anxious the night before results day and usually can't sleep all night. It's going to be GCSEs, modules 1,2 and 3 of A levels all over again on the 16th of August... can't wait.
My sleeping pattern is messed up anyway and I get to bed at around 5AM so staying up an extra 3 hours waiting for results is a given. Oh well, just hope for the best.

Had a feeling you studied them by your post Aha, well these are occasions when I envy people who do sciences, not always, but times like this. Cause I find science really hard. Not Maths so much, I kinda wish I tried it to at least AS, I took English Lit and dropped it AS cause I hated it. Whereas with Maths I enjoyed it and wasn't bad, but was a tad scared of the content and all the U's at AS

Guys, I really don't know what to do. Ever since my last exams finished, I've been thinking about that day, judgement day, results day where my WHOLE future will either be broken or made. I'm just losing it. I've got my own countdown calendar hung on my wall that I tick off each day to remind myself just how close it really is. I can't fall asleep, I have to make myself tired to the point where I feel faint and then I wake up after a nightmare about missing my offer and having to cope with it in front of everyone. The shame and the disappointment I'd have from working so hard over these two years would be unbearable. I'm a guy...and I really don't want to shed any tears. For the past month, I've been writing down my answers for each exam and comparing them again and again. I've looked at all the grade boundaries for the past years and used my own predictions for this year. I've calculated ,my raw marks for each exam and then using the lowest and highest previous grade boundaries, and my predicted grade boundaries for this year, worked out my worst, likely and best grade possibilities. I've even gone as far as to many an excel spreadsheet that will work out pretty much everything as soon as I put in the grade boundaries. I think I need to go on holiday where I have no idea of the time or day. A place completely distant from civilisation. I'm being serious. Any viable suggestions. (I'm prepared to pay for flights)

SO SCARED

Just read your post... if you're being dead serious, I don't think I know anyone who's more nervous about results day than you!
My advice: Enjoy the weekend, try and completely forget about results day (alcohol helps) and keep yourself occupied until Thursday. You'll feel really daft for wasting so much time pondering about those excel spreadsheets and grade boundaries if you get the grades you want!

[HeavyTeddy]

Quite calm. Not really thought about it much, I guess I know how I did in the exams and I'm not really too unsure about what I'm going to get. Just getting into the mindset to prepare for resits and A2 in general.

Uhhhh, I can't drink alcohol unfortunately! I was say over my piano and I even wrote a song about results day! I tutor Maths too so I go over it then too! I swear I could tell you every question I did this summer by heart. It's really interesting how these UMS boundaries screw us over! My exams are with OCR and the way they calculate UMS is very degrading to Higher marking students! See, I just said how UMS boundaries are interesting. They're not. I hate UMS. I never want to see U M or S again. Im certain that I'm in, if I'm not I'm going to get every paper remarked, but this certainty leaves me to doubt myself! It's the perfect way for the exam board to annoy me! A* are just so hit and miss, and grrrrrr ahhhhh. I need the next week to be over!!!

Thank you for your advice! I know I should just relax. it seems logical but it's like I'm having a relationship breakdown with my A-Levels! My brain says I can't do anything now so why do I?

You sound exactly like me. I've done the spreadsheet thing with highest and lowest outcomes and everytime I look at A, it requires me to look at Z just so I don't get too confident. I'm not as bad as you though as I'm looking at courses at ex-polys so it helps if I have to enter clearing.

[KatieSouter]

I'm so nervous. I've been worrying since my last exam. I'm not sleeping very well, waking up through the night panicking about it. Last night I woke up at 3AM and couldn't go back to sleep for at least an hour. Can't wait for this week to be over, I want to know now!
