The listening exam for French was so hard-I'm pretty sure I got 0/8 for the questions that required written answers and I'll just have to hope that my multiple choice answers were great and I keep thinking "they'll never give you an A/A* for multiple choice answers".

Although, the written questions were so tough the grade boundaries will have to go down and not only were they tough questions but the invigilators had major trouble with the tape that was so hard to here with a crackly noise on it but the problem was miraculously fixed by lowering the volume of the tape.

I keep thinking that I think I've got an A* in French overall because the reading was very easy, which means i should be able to afford a less than perfect score on the Listening but I know I made some silly mistakes like on the first question where I didn't realise that it was written from a French perspective so English is a foreign language

YOU MUST STOP. NOW. give me your internet.

Looking through the replies to this thread, I read that a lot of year 10's have only done 2-3 exams this year, whereas I have done 13! Way too much for a year 10 to handle!

Hey,

Relax... take a deep breath and listen to some music...
We still have a week left. I know I am as scared as you but worrying won't help unfortunately. Take it easy. Just take a deep breath and relax.

13? How? The maximum I've known anyone to do is 8 - all modules though, not full GCSEs.

Seven English:
2 IGCSE's, 1 speaking, 2 written papers, 1 drama and pros, and 1 poetry anthology
Three Science:
Biology, Chemistry and Physics
Two maths:
Calculator and non calculator

I also had to do A-Level Dutch, making that 13 exams

Blimey... I only had to do four, two of which were English Literature (I got an A*). Best of luck to you!

Oh gosh, I nearly did that English foreign language thing but I caught it as I went back over.

I know that I haven't performed to my best with the controlled assessments due to a problem with a teacher :/

I know in a few mocks where I just completely left out the back page I managed to get high A's so you'll probably be alright!

My invigilator couldn't work the computer and the tape froze halfway through... we didn't notice for ages though, we thought it was just the kids being so loud we couldn't hear. The worst part was that the invigilator couldn't leave to tell them to quieten down because there was only one of them so we would have all been disqualified!

Do you know if the boundaries are still determined by what everybody else in the country achieved? x


(By the way, this is the same poster as before, I just logged into my old account before)

When I was doing my year 6 sats, my sister was doing year 9 sats and my brother was doing his A2's.Now that I'm doing my GCSE's my brother has finished his degree bar QTS and has been in the students union for a year and is one his second year, at the end of this year he will complete his last QTS placement and my sister has finished the first year of her degree course.

My parents still care about my results even though I'm the youngest though so I think I'm luckier than you and do your parents have them silly periods when they say you are going to get U's in everything even though thats not even mathematically possible.They are only joking but it shows they care.
