You've already got 9 GCSEs thats incredible, I've already got 4 GCSEs but with an A* percentage of 75%.When did you complete each one?-I completed German in Year 9 and got an A and English Language,English Literature and Core Science in Year 10 and got an A* in all three.

lets see IT nationals were in year 8... Year 9 was history and PE .. and year 10 was Maths English Spanish and human Health and Physiology
shame as if I did History in year 10 I could have got an A* easy ( I was like 2/3 UMS of an A or something) and my Spanish was close to an A too

not too sure I thought they just get lowered to one instead of counting as 2 ? but either way I won't apply somewhere GCSE heavy
But 6a*'s is a great result! Along with work experience, etc...

Someone on TSR emailed Birmingham, the university that is obsessed the most with GCSE A*s for Medicine,about OCR Nationals in ICT and they said that Distinctions were counted towards to the A* rate if they weren't in addition to GCSE ICT so BTECs are probably counted too.

well more curiosity ... I had read around on TSR
but nothing on abstract reasoning ... I hated that 
Anyone else really feeling the pressure of results? I honestly feel like I should've revised more and since I haven't revised like every hour of my life, I'm gonna fail

but nothing on abstract reasoning ... I hated that so I'm guessing you're a wannabe medic eh? What universities are you thinking of applying to? I'm a wannabe medic too but I don't think I'm going to get in
I took one look at the UKCAT and it reminded me of the 11+ , which was horrible! Also my GCSE grades are mediocreOriginal post by Ani97

and in order Leeds, Sheffield, HullYork, Manchester
there are a lot of books to help you with the UKCAT
and stay positive

It's okay almost everybody round here is in pretty much the same state.
Anyone done IGCSE Further Maths? Who's hoping to get A^?
i got 82 (low A) ums in my first physics exam and 90 (low A*) in the second. i feel as if i did quite well in the third exam but my isa score was only 67. do you think i have done enough to get a B?

That's really scary, I got 82 and 90 in my first and second physics exams as well! Were you with AQA?
to answer your question, I think it will be enough for a B.
