22 August 2013 GCSE results: Discussion thread

Wow... What exams did you do in Year 10?

I don't want to open them at school in case I get really bad results and I'm like


And everyone else gets good grades and are all like

Omg just realised how new a lot of you's are ...like >500 posts

New but possibly ancient too...!

Take me, I've been keeping a watchful eye over tsr for 2 years+ now and I'm sure there's more like me

Um i enjoyed it and found the content okay. When i did Modular i got A's, close to A*'s. I did the Linear exam and am hoping for an A*. So do you recommend i chose Further maths? Is it a lot of work?

Whats everyone doing after they get their results? (to celebrate or to cheer yourself up lol)

Going on a DofE practice expedition for three days Not looking forward to it!

I got my full GCSE in maths in year 10 January and I got an A* .. so you never know
are you doing AQA triple science?

and it's best not to panic too much you have a whole year yet to resit or boost your results... the harder you work, the luckier you'll be

haha yeah I guess... I'm a year and half old I think I'll check

Yep I'm doing AQA triple science !
Thanks for the wise words haha and I think I can still try to improve my grade through the ISA (?)

You do that

I'd probably say no because I have heard of people finding Further Maths difficult having got A*'s in A-level Maths and the fact that you got A's in the modules suggests you would struggle and my sister got an A at GCSE and a D at AS Maths never mind Further Maths

.However, I would still recommend you to look at the content of A-level Maths and see if you find it very interesting, if it doesn't seem too appealing I wouldn't bother but if it looks interesting then you will probably end up being prepared to work hard for it.

When I looked up A-level Maths and some of A-Level Further Maths I found that the content was far more enjoyable than anything I'd studied at GCSE-in Further Maths you will get to study the Square Root of -1 which is known as i and you'll get to learn about hyperbolic trigonometry where sinh(x)=e^x-e^-x/2 and cosh(x)=e^x+e^-x/2 and if you are wondering why this would have been done then look no further than the formulas for sin(x) and cos(x) in radians 2pi radians=360 degrees sinx=e^ix-e^-ix/2i cosx=e^ix+e^-ix/2 its all extremely mad and interesting.

After the courses, you will become a robot saying"I must integrate.I must differentiate"-I'm only jokingI would love you to take Further Maths though because I'm obsessed with Maths and am taking A-Levels in Maths and Further Maths.

Oh okay thanks for the help! Sounds like you know your stuff Yes it sounds crazy and i am not sure if i'm prepared for that or could handle it

Wow... What exams did you do in Year 10?

ooo I've finished my bronze where are you going ?

This is a practice for my silver Haven't done bronze though - doing it through school and they don't offer it! Well we're going up into the Mournes and walking about up there Can I ask what sort of stuff you brought for food? Our group's trying to organise it now and I don't really know what to get!
