22 August 2013 GCSE results: Discussion thread

Scroll to see replies

I wondered this last year and I suppose it's a silly question, but does everyone nationwide go in at the same time to collect their results or is it really just whenever on 22nd August?

Whenever! It depends on your school and what time they'll let you in to get them :smile:

GCSE RESULTS DAY 2013

Here, we can discuss results day - our excitement, nerves, predictions and overall grades on the day!

•

When is results day? Thursday 22nd August

•

I'm scared about my friends asking me what I got, what shall I do? Don't open your results in front of them. If you do, pull the :ninja: face

•

I didn't do as well as I thought, what shall I do? You have a couple of options here. First think about the subject, if it was a Maths/Science it is unlikely to be marked wrong (though it does happen). If it is an English/essay based, you may want to consider a remark. You also have the option of resitting.

"TSR and the real world is different. In the TSR world if you achieve anything less than 56 A*'s you are a failure."

Don't compare your grades with TSR users, please. Just don't.

Cool (if duanting!) thread, + rep. I'm so nervous, but i know this will happen: Positive results: Cry and Die Negative Results: Cry and Die :redface:

GOOD LUCK TO ONE AND ALL, I HOPE YOU ACHEIVE YOUR DESIRED GRADES. :smile:

Geography

The 24th seems so late! People seemed shocked when I told them my last one was on the 18th!

But surely the school told the exam board thus you may get extra marks (only a bit but still)?

Doubt it

yeah aqa, I was just clueless so copied the guy next to me, one of the most idiotic in the bottom set, so no high hopes for me either :tongue:

French is **** :wink:

I'm so glad I'll never have to do that wretched subject again :smile:

definitely opening them at home. it's weird, i came home today after my final exam and i literally do not know what to do with myself. seems as if during when i was meant to be revising, procrastinating and stuff came easily but now i cannot seem to just relax!!! :confused:

I know just how you feel! Is this what freedom feels like? Ahh T.V. my good friend, it's been so long...

That is EXACTLY how I feel! Even though when I was supposed to be revising, I ended up procrastinating but now I actually feel like revising...

Aaaaaaahhhhhhh results :frown:

I'm not even finished yet, this is terrifying...
Also my results day will be awful, due to a) my school deciding to schedule the dofe practise walk on the same day, so if I dont like my results or other people in my group don't, that will not be a fun experience, and b) seeing my best friend who's moving to india and who will be there this entire summer and probably just cryinf about that because she'a doing dofe and will be in the country for four days and is not in my group AND SO I WON'T SEE HER, literally the maximum amount of time I will get to see her for is like two half days :frown:

weeehhhh not looking forward to this

My best would be:

•

RS: A

•

English Lit: A*

•

English Lang: A*

•

Maths: A*

•

Core Science: A

•

Citizenship: A*

•

Spanish: A*

•

History: A

•

Music: A*

•

Additional Science: A*

•

IT: Distinction

But more likely to be:

RS: B
English Lang: A*
English Lit A
Maths: A
Core Science: A
Citizenship: B
Spanish: A
History: A
Music: A
Additional Science: A
IT: Merit

So basically, the best is 7a*s 3as
more probable/worst is 1a* 7as 2bs
