my last 7 reps or something (neg and pos ) haven't affected my score at all ? and on the forum there wasn't even people with neg gems :s-smilie:

..might be broken ?

Yeah I've realised that. The score isn't updating as frequently as it used to. Maybe it takes time or maybe the servers have a problem. :rolleyes:

I started maths early and I found C2 hard so for you to do C3 and C4 at the same time!....
Oh yeah, you said you was 2 marks from an A*, isn't it 4 :confused:

It's 2 raw marks :smile:

Me too

Dalek should really be more considerate in situations like this. He's all about getting top grades and I'm sure he'd feel a bit crap too if he didn't get a grade that he REALLY wanted.
@L'evil Fish, you did great (better than a lot of 18 year olds do) but I'm sorry that you're disappointed. Hopefully if you remark/resit you'll get the grade you want!

Thanks a lot :smile:

I'll resit C3

Could be, I hope there's an increase rather than a decrease but we all that possibility of that happening is very slim.

I'm just hoping for the best.

They're predicting slightly lower science grades, so it's a possibility :redface:

Well over the past few days I've focused on core 1. I've nearly finished it.

I'm doing differentiation at the moment and then I've got integration left.

I've learnt a few proofs. E.g how x^2=2x

And if you differentiate 2x^-2

you get -4x^-3

etc.

That is a whole load of CRAP. NO one cares about it nor do the teachers or schools very much. It's just another statistic to compare schools. But seriously there's no point of having it. It just forces people to do other subjects which they may or may not like.

This is not true, my headteacher changed the timetables for Y10 to make sure we studied French and one of History/Geography, which weren't compulsory before the announcement of the Ebacc - lots of teachers go on about how important it is and say that they have all been given special intervention abilities because of their importance.The English Baccalaureate will probably become as important as the 5A*-C including English and Maths and is seriously being considered to replace the 5A*-C including English and Maths due to grade inflation and you have 100% failed your GCSEs without 5A*-C including English and Maths.
