School have access to results before 6 though.

I'm not sure when exactly they get the results its definitely on the Wednesday though but you do raise a valid point and that is that the Grade Boundaries are deliberately released the day before to wind us all up before results day, when I know they must be calculated at least a week before realistically considering all the grades they have to calculate using the grade boundaries before they can upload the results to the schools.

I think I did well/okay in my GCSEs but I know I have done bad in French Listening (AQA) and Additional Maths (OCR)- they're the subjects I'm most worried about and what's even more unnerving is that the grade boundaries for Additional Maths went up by around 10 marks :frown:

In my school, you get given your results in the office and then just imagine that you get them soaked, when you take them out of the office.I have just found out that I should ring the office between 9-12 to find out when to collect my results, which strongly hints that I won't be getting my results too late on the day.It doesn't matter anyway, the later the time the more sleep I will have.

Ahhh okayy :smile:

I'd probably end up wide awake throughout the night bcz im that nervous!

Finished my GCSEs in 2011 but I just thought I should come on here and brag about the 2A* and 1A I got in my a-levels last week. Enjoy your next two years suffering and stressing about a levels.

I know, I would rather stay in school/uni for several more years, I would be way too scared! :wink:

Yes we definitely are, can't complain with 3 out of 4 a levels the same! :smile:

Haha, well I suppose it's hard to say, whatever it is it will be science based! Maybe medicine (although I'm very aware of how competitive it is!) I'm very interested in something to do with chemistry too, difficult choice! :smile:

what about you? Any career ideas? :smile:

I am planning on taking a Degree plus Masters combined(MMath I think something like that) at University and possibly a PhD in Maths and going into Pure Maths Research at a University, I plan to specialise in Calculus on the Complex Plane.If that doesn't go well I will solve complex differential equations to calculate what the weather is going to be like in the Meteorological Office.

I will probably end up getting to sleep very late in the night and I will be very tired when I open my results because its hard to sleep early in the night, when you've been going to bed at 4am for the past few weeks :tongue:

At this moment in 3 days time, thousands of year 11s across the country will be crying.

The big question is whether they will be tears of joy or tears of regret for not studying hard enough or for making stupid mistakes.

I'm probably opening mine st school :smile:

I actually think opening in front of parents would be way scarier, because they actually care what I've got, whereas my friends probably don't :L

I probably can't risk opening them up at school because my reputation is too high and everyone thinks I'm a genius-At the end, of Year 11 i was constantly getting stopped by Year 7's who think I'm so intelligent and say that people tell them I'm on A*s in everything, which is an exaggeration.My Reputation was blown quite a bit for Geography Unit 2 when I failed that resit and loads of other people did much better, which has never happened before but could happen again because I did so badly in the Unit 3 exam.

I didn't study at all for mathematics, because I find it hard to revise for maths! Does anyone else agree? I did however, revise for over a month for my edexcel triple science exams but I just feel as if I've failed my triple science exams and its making me depressed - goodness knows what I'll feel like on the day. :frown:

I am really starting to have anxiety attacks now because a few hours ago I started thinking about if I got a D in Geography on Results Day due to an incredible drop in marks in the moderation of the classes' coursework, which is incredibly unlikely because my teacher's marks have been kept the same by AQA 4 out of the last 5 years and in the other occasion they only changed slightly.I'm really dreading the Physics ISA next year because I have very little practical skills and ended up burning equipment in a Chemistry lesson and because it is very common for ISAs at A-Level to be marked down by a couple of grades, which is what I'm praying will not happen to any of my GCSE coursework.

I'm so scared, thinking of results day makes me sick :'(

Did anyone do AQA Graphics?

I did aqa graphics. it was horrible. We spent so much time on course work that we didnt even get a chance to learn for the exam. And then i only end up with like a c/b in the coursework. grrrrr i regret taking the subject. the exam wasnt particularly great either.

I am so damn scared. I think I'm going to run away and open them by myself before anyone can see. I don't like being the center of attention so with my dad or friends there it's going to be horrible. :frown:

I just hope I've done well as I know I didn't work my absolute hardest! I'm going to try and be positive though! :smile:

My parents always tell me as long as you have tried your best but you can't really have tried your hardest though, you can always try harder unless you have never stopped studying and had as little sleep and ate as little food and drink to keep you healthy then you have not tried your best but you are never going to do this.If I fail I always say that I can try harder and usually I prove to myself that I can work harder.
