GCSE results......I remember when I was getting my results two years ago. The advice I will give is stay positive despite what you think you will get or whatever your target grade is.

I feel I should be more nervous, but I know I will be the night before and on the day. D: When I think about the exams and how hard I work, I don't think it was enough :s We'll see.... What's everyone most nervous for? Mine has to be Maths and Science.

Hmmm... What I'm most nervous for...

Art (not important but in the exam I put so much work in after my coursework, now hoping for an A overall...)

French (messed up exams)
Business (not sure I smashed exam)
RS (dodgy papers :mmm:

)
Welsh (messed up)
English Lit (it'll be close)

Sciences, Geography and Stats should be okay, especially if coursework isn't moderated down at all...

I'd say the exam I'm most worried about is maths as the overall mark goes on just the two exams and there's no coursework. The non calculator I found really hard, and the calculator I found mostly ok but I think I ended up mis reading some of the questions. I just hope overall I manage to achieve at least a C otherwise all my hard work will be wasted.

I am a little worried also about English language (the reading paper) as I had to rush questions 3 and 4 as I was running out of time so didn't get the chance to develop my points as much as I could have done. But I'm less worried about the overall result for English language than maths because I was only 12 points off a C with just my coursework mark and I feel I did reasonably in the writing paper.
