This thread is for all those that have already sat their GCSEs or at least a Gcse. Did you get the target grades yoy set yourself? If so how and if not, what would you change?
Also, please post (if you want to) your preditions/ targets you set yourself for your GCSEs and what you actually got
I was predicted 7A*s, 3As and a B, thought I'd get about 5A*s, 5As and a B, and ended up with 4A*s 5As and 2Bs. 1 A was one mark off an A* and one B was one mark off an A, so I nearly got what I thought
I think I got a bit too complacent with a few exams and didn't bother revising for them. so I'd obviously revise them if I had the chance to go back.
Mathematics: A* A* English Language: A* A (Got a C in the reading paper... Kind of dragged it all down) English Literature: A* A* Biology: A* A* Chemistry: A* A* Physics: A* A* RS: A* B (God knows what happened, see what I did there ) Welsh: C A Media: A A History: A A* Art: C A Photography: A C () Geography: A* A* French: A* A* Business Studies: A* A Statistics: A* A (Both business and stats were messed up by school, because of the coursework element)
Perhaps I should have revised, but considering the school I went to (average grade was a D) I think I did decently.
I thought that I'd get a couple of A*s, mostly As and maybe a B and C. I thought I would completely fail English lang and lit. Ended with 5 A*s, 4 As and 1 B.

One word: Incredible.
You well and truly exceeded the average grade for your school - nice one

Thanks, I had to teach myself maths and the sciences and some others, because they only offered core and additional; but now they've introduced triple science because a group of us self taught it!

You're welcome Oh whoa, you did extremely well then considering you taught yourself maths and science! Ahh that's so annoying haha! But wow, you should be proud of yourself for doing so well at GCSE I guess you're now doing A level?
English Literature A - A* English Language A - A Maths A* - A Chemistry B - A Physics B - B Biology C - B History B - A Geography B - A Spanish A* - A* RS B - A Art A - A*
I was pretty lucky considering our school has less than 50% of students gaining at least C grades plus the fact that my English teacher spent 3 months off leading up to exams so we had supply teachers I wish I'd tried harder in year 10 and gotten more A*s though, especially in English Language, maths & chemistry (got 100% in the year 11 exams but those bloody year 10 grades lowered it) but oh well

Thank you very much
I am now yes, got a scholarship so I'm at a private school, it's so different
Spanish, I can try and help, though my Spanish is kinda crap atm, but it's all about getting full marks in c/w. And then getting low as in exams
Yeah, I think I've seen your posts.
My Spanish was appalling, the first time i done a coursework i got a D but i retook and i ended up with an A overall so if i get 2 high Bs ill still have an A, ohhhh i see
