GCSE Results day 2014 Chat Thread- WOO!

Original post by Sulfur

It's the feeling of not knowing that annoys me the most... I'm hoping for 7+ A*s but I don't know to be honest, I've got two already in Maths and English Literature so that helps towards the hope! :rolleyes:

What about you?

Ah, right xD I'm like that with end of topic exams, just not with GCSEs :tongue:

Ah, so you did Ad maths this year?

I'm hoping for 11A*s and 1A. But really, anything over 9A*s and I will be happy xD

Additional science is more interesting that Core IMO. So that helps want to try hard at it (:

My advice: Take Maths as the full A Level :biggrin:

Yup, CGP books for science were my haven too :smile:

I'm not sure if I should, I might just do AS-Level or not do Maths at all. :frown:

I'm not the best at Maths - only expecting an A or high B for GCSE, but this was due to the fact I put no effort, not because I wasn't capable at A*/A content.

The reason I'm unsure is because I feel that A-Level content might be too much for me. As I've learnt no Maths AL content yet though I'm not sure, which is why I'm thinking of learning C1 early. :smile:

Oh goodness you're becoming delusional... it must be this heat: You can't think like that! You should at least take it to AS then :smile:

(and then A2 :colone:

)

I'd start it early, as you've said it'll help with your final decision on taking it further or even at all.

I guess I'll take AS then and see where it goes - so far C1 is looking alright.

Oh, I feel your pain. That was even worse than Food Tech. The majority of my friends did Product Design :tongue:

Coursework was a bitch xD

Product design was hell. I hate coursework :mad:

I spent about two weeks or so on it, I wrote up revision notes on each topic (how to do x topic, stage by stage etc) and I checked it with numerous resources so that it matched them (exam solutions, CGP books, other people's revision notes online, Heinemann books) - AQA :smile:

I'm so scared for results day because I did hardly any revision, but kind of excited because I really want to know what I got/get it over with

In an ideal world I'd LOVE 5 A*s, 6 As but that's never going to happen :frown:

however I think 5 A*s, 2 As, 3 Bs could be quite probable.

What are you hoping for? :smile:
