    What grades are you hoping for?
    Hi everyone,

    I hope you aren't stressing too much about Thursday, it'll all be over soon We thought it would be really interesting to see what grades everyone is hoping for on results day followed by another poll with the actual grades on Thursday. I know we ran a similar pole recently but wanted to be a little more specific in the options.

    So please vote and come back on Thursday for round two

    Jack

    (first grade is the more likely one)
    Philosophy and Ethics - A
    Chemistry - A/B
    Physics - B/A
    Biology - B/A

    I wanted to get AAA but no way that's happening. Still have a chance of an A scrape in bio and tho. And there's a chance of a B in Maths likewise. I'm hoping I'm right.

    It'd be great if there's a follow up thread where we post what we actually got for comparison.

    Yeah, that'd be great. In the follow up thread tomorrow I can include people's guesses?

    Obviously not by name (you don't want upset or embarrassment!) but yeah - it'd be nice to simply compare the two spreads of data.

    I'm hoping for A*AAA (in maths biology chemistry and physics respectively)

    Unfortunately "hoping" is not the same as "expecting".
