15 A*s, but I'll be ****** off if I achieve 14A*s and 1A

Hi - I know you really want to know about how you think you did, but honestly the best thing to do is not to worry about them or think about them! You've done all you can, and the examiner will consider each paper as it's own. You may have done something totally different and amazing to everyone else, and no one else may have thought about that. Especially with English, it is really hard to be able to judge how you've done - I thought I would be ending with CC at the most, but I did much better. Please just believe in yourself, and don't worry about what others have done, it'll just make you worry more!

I am extremely nervous about this but am mainly about one subject, History! I love it so much and dont want to let my teachers down but mainly myself because I know how hard I worked for it! I reallyyyyyy want an A*! I've literally only been thinking about History so havent even had a chance to think about the others! I keep forgetting about German! I'm targetted a B but God knows if that'll happen! Already got a B in Eng Lang. Already got a C in Maths but re took although I think I will get a C again. Oh my God I just want to know what I got right now!

15 A*s, but I'll be ****** off if I achieve 14A*s and 1A

What exam board did you do for history? I did AQA B. And what exam board for German? I did edexcel!

I did edexel German too there was about ten of us when I did foundation, and we had card that said I cannot hear the CD, so like a rebell I held it up at the end, even the invidulator was laughing !!!!!!

Yeah, they seem to be a lot more than just maths! I quite liked them though - managed to get a few golds and through to the olympiad/kangaroo a couple of times and we did the senior one as well as the intermediate one this year :P

There have been articles in the newspaper saying that schools should be prepared for lower grades this year, gcse-wise. This is probably due to our exam system changing, meaning that we take all of our exams at the end of the summer - in our case, this was June 2014. As we are the first school year to do our exams in this way, I was wondering if grade boundaries would be lowered slightly? I understand that the purpose of making the exams linear was to get a larger variety of results, along with the opportunity to distinguish the 'bright' from the 'not so bright'. But, given that this is the first year for that change to take place, will the Government be slightly generous with regards to results?
