ME:


What are you hoping for?

- 5 A*'s, 2 A's, 2 B's and 2 C's :biggrin:

What are you expecting?

- 3 A*'s, 2 A's, 2 B's, 4 C's
:frown:

Will you be satisfied with your expectation?

- No. Purely because of the subjects that will have achieved the C's and B's.

How will you open them?

- Me and my best friend are going to open each others first then pass them over once they've been read.

How will you celebrate / react?

- Probably be really upset but just happy that I got my grades to get into my sixth form. Which I know I will... without a doubt.

Will you meet your Sixth Form/College offer?

- YES. Already have 3 of the 5 grades necessary.

I'm not complaining aha, you answered everything, I just never get people who cry over getting a couple of B's but all A's and A*'s beside them B's.
I WAS hoping for:
History: A/A*
Biology: C
Chemistry: B/A
Physics: B
English Lit: A
Englisht Lang: A
Maths: A
ICT:A
Spanish: C/B
RE:C

Expecting: D's ans C's everywhere except English lit, Lang, ICT and Maths

Satisfied:
No- absolutley not regardless

How I will open them:
- Go into the drama centre and get my results with my family
- Go outside of the room and open it elsewhere on my own quietly
-if it's good ill go into the drama centre and tell teachers
-I'll run away and never return

How I will.celebrate/react:
I might pass out or scream

Will I meet my offer?
Depends which college I go to as they're all expecting differnet offers but the one I really want to go I need 2B'S and 3C's (I got a C in year9 in IGCSE English, and B in year10 with maths) so as long as I get the reamaining one I should get in but I'm not confident and praying everyday

What are you hoping for?
8 A*s and 5 As.
What are you expecting?
7 A*s, 4 As, 1 B and 1 F.
Will you be satisfied with your expectation?
Yes, should be enough to get me into a Russell Group University, although they commonly disregard GCSEs anyway!
How will you open them?
Either slowly tear the seal of the envelope or literally rip the envelope, not too sure.
How will you celebrate / react?
Most likely feel pretty mutual, most likely the same, I offer minimum emotion and reaction haha. Although if I exceed my expectations I'll be over the moon. Most likely go for a meal later that day.
Will you meet your Sixth Form/College offer?
Sixth Form requirements are pretty low, therefore easy to obtain the required grades. Even in grammar schools, well, the ones I've applied too. But they seem roughly the same anyway.

What I was hoping for before : 7 A*s 3As

What I now expect: 3A*s 6 As 1B

Will I be happy with my expectation: I will be disappointed with the lack of A*s and cry at the B

How I will open them: carefully peel the seal away in a private corner and hope not to go into anaphylactic shock.

How I will react: unless it's somehow all A*s , keep a pretty straight face.

Will I meet my sixthform offer: yeah it's 6 A/A*s

They're some high requirements for Sixth Form, is it an academic school?

I know right? My college is 21st in the country on the league tables and has a low offer but then again, the selection process is relatively rigorous - tests and such.

GCSE Results:

What are you hoping for?

I was predicted 9.5A*s and 1 A but I'd be over the moon with 8A*s and 2.5As

What are you expecting?

6A*s, 3.5As and 1 B

Will you be satisfied with your expectation?

Not really :frown: I want to do medicine but I'd be pushing it with only 6A*s.

How will you open them?

In school, feeling completely sick with nerves...I'd rather do it at home by myself in case I'm really disappointed but we have to enrol at our sixth form at the same time so I can't hehe.

How will you celebrate / react?

I'll just be incredibly relieved :smile: going to an Imagine Dragons concert the day after and my birthday is the day before so I'll be in a good mood either way:wink:

Will you meet your Sixth Form/College offer?

Definitely. You need 14 points to get back in my sixth form, I have 1A* already which is four points so I'm pretty confident :smile:

EDIT JULY 2015: I came out with 6.5A*s 3As and 1B, so nearly spot on what I was expecting! I was over the moon anyway, and changed my mind about studying medicine in the end, deciding on child nursing instead - good luck all folks receiving GCSE results this year, you'll be fab!
