What grades did you get?
B - Advanced Higher Computing
A - Higher Philosophy
B - Higher Business Managment
B - INT2 Woodwork

Did you meet your predictions?

I was expecting a A in Business Managment and a B in Philosophy, but I'm not too bothered how things turned out. Both exams where on the same day... that was mega ****e.

If not, are you going to appeal?

What's the point? Passed my Uni offer.

If you applied to uni, have you met the offer?

Yup, only needed 1 B in either of my highers

What decisions have you made about any further study?

Computer Science

What made you pleased/disappointed by your results?

I was chuffed about how I did in Philosophy, but slightly disapointed in how I did in Business Managment. I'm not suprised at getting a B not A in Advanced Higher Computer, it's the same grade as my prelim. I blame it all on those bloody awful scholar notes which where the only resource given to me.

Anything you would have done differently in the past year if you could have done them again?

Had more sex and worked less.

Could you look at the results first or did you get a parent to?

I did, although my parents found out I'd met my Uni offer almost instantly as I belted out "***** YES!"

What time did you find out your results?

Half an hour ago, the mail was late.

Did you feel nervous?

Yup, I covered over the actual marks upon looking at the sheet for a few seconds... took a deep breath and exposed them.

How do you feel now after knowing?

Umm... good.

I'm so going to get pished and stoned tonight.

AH English ~ A
AH History ~ C
AH Modern Studies ~ C
H Sociology ~ B

What grades did you get? As above

Did you meet your predictions? Not really. Got an A in the mod studs and sociology prelim.

If not, are you going to appeal? It's up to my teachers. Don't really care.

If you applied to uni, have you met the offer? I have an unconditional already.

What decisions have you made about any further study? I go to Edinburgh in one month yay!

What made you pleased/disappointed by your results? That I got an A in English. I'm not bothered that I got lower results than I might have wanted in the others 'cause I really did not try that hard this year 'cause I already had my unconditional. Just went to school for the learning experience, not the exam. I was ill at my sociology exam too and had barely slept all week.

Anything you would have done differently in the past year if you could have done them again? Worked as hard as I did for my highers I guess.

Could you look at the results first or did you get a parent to? I ripped them open before anyone else could see them.

What time did you find out your results? about quarter/twenty past 9

Did you feel nervous? Yeah.. Quite a bit.

How do you feel now after knowing? Quite pleased I didn't fail anything as I thought I would. Should have probably tried harder at history this year as it's my major subject at Uni but I know I could have done better and I'm safe in the knowledge of that.

AH Maths, Physics & Chemistry: AAA
Predicted grades: AAA

Hence I have met my St Andrews offer and will be merrily skipping off there this Autumn to terrorise the locals, enjoy the student lifestyle, marvel at the lovely beaches, and possibly even study.

The particularly pleasing things about my results include:
-They came at 9.30, meaning I had limited time for nightmares - in fact, I only had one relevant bad dream, in which I failed everything, and my Maths answers started tattooing themselves across my skin. I had a root sign on my left thumb, but I wasn't sure if it was a square root, a cube root, or what, but I needed to work out what I'd done wrong. I also had dreams about falling down slippery icy slopes and having many people shouting at me. That was fun. Yes, I was kind of nervous, you may have deduced.
-The unneccessary, but desired, A in Chemistry.
-All A's make a pretty pattern on the results sheet. Oooh. Nice pattern.

There is no point in asking 'If you ever did them again...?', because... just NO. I doubt I would have done much differently - if the school has my percentages and they're uselessly high, then naturally, I would not need to study so much if I was ever mad enough to do them again.

I looked at my results first, because my brother was opening his at the same time and it would have been a bit selfish - 'Mummy, mummy, look at MY results! Don't look at HIS!'.

Right now, I feel kind of normal, except I was at work today, and I was putting hats away and stuff, and I re-realised what it meant and I was all big-stupid-grins. Thankfully, I was also by myself, so no-one had to witness the big stupid grin.

[Edit: Sorry Acaila, I just realised I completely disregarded your suggested format.... :s whoops...]

What grades did you get? AAAB
Did you meet your predictions? I surpassed them, they were AABB
If not, are you going to appeal? N/A
If you applied to uni, have you met the offer? Yep, :biggrin:

it was AAB :biggrin:

What decisions have you made about any further study? Computing at Imperial College London
What made you pleased/disappointed by your results? Well I got a B in Computing which is the subject I'm doing at uni but it was a week after the other exams and I basically started my summer early so I wasn't too surprised.
Anything you would have done differently in the past year if you could have done them again? Definitely worked harder for the finals, especially for the comptuing exam
Could you look at the results first or did you get a parent to? I was at work for 8 and a half hours and my mum was in but she was given strict instructions not to open the envelope. It had to be something I did myself.
What time did you find out your results? Well they were posted at 9 am but I didn't find them out until 6.30 pm when I got back form work.
Did you feel nervous? Very, on the bus home I kept thinking it was going to crash, and I couldn't stop thinking about it at work.
How do you feel now after knowing? Fantastic, much better than I thought I would. It's just such a relief knowing where your going to be for the next few years.

Did you meet your predictions? Met the school's, exceeded my own.

What decisions have you made about any further study? 2007, Medicine at Glasgow
What made you pleased/disappointed by your results? Well...
Anything you would have done differently in the past year if you could have done them again? Nothing. I enjoyed my year by doing f-all studying until the exams, spent 3 weeks cramming, and it all paid off! Well, on paper of course, I doubt I could remember 90% of what I did.
Could you look at the results first or did you get a parent to? I arrived back from Canada yesterday, said hi to the cats, opened my other mail first, and then ripped open the results.
What time did you find out your results? 12:30pm, 10th August
Did you feel nervous? Yeah but nowhere near as nervous as I was for the SG and Higher results.
How do you feel now after knowing? Chuffed, but as long as I met my conditions for uni I'd be relieved!
