22 August 2013 GCSE results: Discussion thread

My school only lets year 10's get there results at 11 whereas the year above get them at 10 ! and I'm planning on opening them there and if I don't do well then I can always let the teachers know that I want to resit. And after we get my results, I am going to have a picnic with my friends

if you want a specific person to read your post make sure you quote their last post

I'm really nervous because some people in my year are destined to get all A*s and I know I will get compared to them which is totally humiliating.

Well, how are they your friends then? Surely you should open your eyes to see what's going on.

Sorry I'm new here and i couldn't find the question posted

My school didn't tell us that it was our official GCSE maths exam so I didn't revise thinking it was another mock (we so so many of them and I couldn't care less about maths because as long as I get my B I'm good) and a few weeks later I'd found out it was the real thing so I'm not expecting anything great haha, as for German and food technology, I got an A in my coursework for food so hopefully I might end up with an A/B and in German I'm probably getting an A/B too so all in all I think that's okay

I've heard some schools do that to try and help 'remove the pressure' off the students :/

He is bragging, he's a show off and an attention seeker. Bragging is a bad trait, don't think you can get into a certain job/university with just results, you will be interviewed meaning they probably won't have you if you carry on like that!

"Remove the pressure" by making us fail haha:') schools;-;

Hey, it looks you're confident that you're going to do well and there is nothing wrong with that. However, it comes across as bragging... which is a little insensitive to those not so confident (not hating by any means but stating what I think)
Also, I hope this doesn't sound bitchy, but OCR Nationals are not equalivent to GCSE A*or A

Is anyone here, thinking of taking Economics at Uni? if so what subjects are you picking for A-level and what uni's are you looking at? I'm doing Economics, History, Maths and Politics

iknow right! I don't believe in it, I don't think its entirely fair or fair on the students......... but all school care about are league tables

that's just dalek in general .... you seen his Gems??


and aren't they really? I mean I know they shouldn't be, kinda like BTEC dance or BTEC music shouldn't be equivalent to GCSE Music.. but yet they are

I'm new to TSR but I would just like to say I know where your coming from!! Our school kept telling us that they needed to get more than 80% A* - C. That's all they care about!!

THE DALEK REFERENCE

Nope! They're recognized as a fit substitute , however are not equalivent. A UCL rep came to our school and he said that when stating your GCSEs on your application you indicate a distinction through 'D' and a distinction* through a 'D*'

Odd eh!

I know that all my school cares about -.- at the end of the year they made everybody who had like 3 or 4 GCSEs A*-C ( and they were quite a few!) they took thme out of their science lessons to do this crappy like skills BTEC or something that was at like year 5 level...just to get them an extra 2 Cs ..... 2 Cs !!!!!!!!!


oh he is very proud of those gems also you'll notice he often seems to talk like this
