22 August 2013 GCSE results: Discussion thread

I reckon I'll get 8/9 maybe 10 A/A*s. More likely 7 or 8A/A*s, 2 Bs

Obviously I would be proud with any of those results, but I somewhat feel sorry for anyone who didn't do as well on theirs. I don't want to come across as a 'boaster' by showing off my results.

I'm so impatient to get my results..
Is everyone opening them at their school or? What's everyone thinking they're gonna get?

Opening them at school! I've no idea what do you think?

I'm thinking getting there super early (my school opens at 9am), then rushing home to open them with family and cry in my room till Sixth Form starts. I'd like to open them at school but everyone will be like "wooo I got 475097358 A*'s!" while I'm there with maybe 1 or 2 A/A*'s haha

My school uploads them to our profiles an hour before we go in, so I'll probably load them up first and then see whether I want to go into school. It's compulsory but I can say I'm ill or something...

I don't know, I honestly do not know what I'm going to get and I'm freaking out!

really?! My school isn't great, so my results won't be like crap...

I think I might go at 10/11

Idk tbh, our school isn't exactly great either but my friends are all smart :') depends what you consider 'crap' results

My results shouldn't be crap by anyone's standards... But I might get annoyed with some

Aah, I see! Friends are friends though

I'm gonna be extremely annoyed if I end up 1 or 2 marks off an A or an A* which normally happens. I'll be incredibly annoyed if I don't get an A* in Biology or French though.

Same! My English Language last year killed me inside

Argh. I love French! messed up exams though

I'm tryna forget about it for the next 3 weeks by busying myself but it's hopeless aha.
Aw what subjects did you do?

Urgh don't even get me started on English Lang last year when they cocked up on the markings..1 mark off a B and they wouldn't give me the extra mark, yet they gave someone else in my year the extra mark to get an A*? Pfft.
I love learning French aha, I have no life..
What exam board were you on for the exams?

WJEC:
Maths, Englishes, Geography, French, Business, Welsh

What? Why would you have doubts?

I did the maths, englishes and welsh on WJEC..how did you find them all?

I really like the practical side of work that dentistry offers, and the ability to work with my hands (which is something I like to do).

It also gives a more balanced lifestyle over medicine (you could disagree), but the working hours are a lot more consistent.
There is also a more caring side to the job in my opinion, with total focus being on one patient at a time and making sure that you satisfy their needs individually. There is also that sense of reward I suppose- It must feel great to know that you've dramatically improved someone's oral health, or their appearance- (or even in the eyes of a general practitioner, just knowing that you have prevented any more damage from advancing)

I also admire the technology and research that is going forward to advance treatments and the procedures that dentists are able to carry out. In 10 years time, dentistry could have changed dramatically!
