2015 GCSE Results Day Thread - Thursday 20th August [Official Thread] - IT'S TODAY!

hey guys, bit irrelevant but I was hoping someone could help me out here. I haven't applied for any sixth forms but I would like to attend one in September. The reason I couldn't apply was because I was retaking a few gcses again. Do you think I can still apply to one on results day? I'm freaking out :/

Why are we already talking about GCSE results now? Why not take a break from the exam stress?

It may be stress for you but for others it may not. I personally don't find talking about GCSE results stressful and I like talking to others about how they feel.

Nothing wrong with it!

I don't find it stressful (in fact, I quite like reading about people's GCSE results and people's experiences in general), but others might feel anxiety (whatever it's called) if they spend their time reading about those teenage prodigies talking about their 15 A*s...

There's a reason why TSR has a reputation for being full of nerds who do nothing but 1) go on TSR 2) revise.

Some schools allow you to turn up to them on results day. If its inline with the entry requirements, then you may get a place. Make sure you check on the website for information.

Hope this helped!

Okay, If you like reading about people's GCSE results then we're on the same page because so do I. I agree with you about people who can suffer from anxiety because it doesn't make you feel better about yourself when you see others that get 15 A*s.

I don't agree that TSR has that reputation because from every post I've seen/read everyone seems to be really nice although there are that small few who are stuck up about it.

People were talking about results at the same time last year, so I thought it would be good for continuity that it's the same time!

Yeah I get the whole anxiety thing but at the end of the day they decide to click on the thread and there aren't many people who think they have all A*s.

I think the exam stress will stay with people when they remember if they could've worked harder or they remembered a question they answered wrong or even have been having nightmares about results day. Like there's this one maths question I got wrong and every single day I think about it and feel sad, but then helpless because I can't change it!

I think the average inhabitant of TSR performs better at GCSEs than your average teenager in the UK- the majority of TSR users tend to be in the top 5-25% of the country.

Where did this come from then?

However, most people I've met on here are really friendly- especially the Year 12s when I infiltrated- I mean visited their thread recently.
