Did anyone do the AQA textiles exam? Curious on what other people thought of the exam :frown:

Well how about we set your worst case scenario to be all Us. I'm sure you can't do worse than getting all Us :tongue:

I'm just kidding, I'm sure you'll do fine and it's not the end of the world if you don't get your chosen place etc.

Just think positive, if you've worked hard then you'll get the grade you deserve. :smile:

My Worst Case Scenario would never be all Us though because I have already taken modules and achieved some good results/decent results and that means in most subjects I can't get a U and I have already achieved 3A*s and 1A.

Lucky!

In a world where you can order pizza online and have it delivered quicker than an ambulance takes to arrive, I really don't see why we can't just get it all via a secure email or account or whatever. I appreciate this does happen with some boards but in 2013 this really should be universal by now...

What world are you living in?-Pizza takes at least 30 minutes to come and in proper emergencies ambulances will arrive much quicker than that.At my College, I believe they send the results by email because thats how my sister got her A2 results last year.

yup, your teachers known your ums and your results the day before :tongue:

but obv they're not gonna remember everyones so that wouldn't be the best idea, and will all of our teachers even be there?

Wednesday will be an interesting day not only will the grade boundaries be released, which always cause us to doubt our great exam performances and give us false hope for our failures, but our teachers will receive our results( through E-AQA and things like that I think) and start putting them onto spreadsheets and databases and calculating things like % 5A*-C including English and Maths, my school got 67% last year and 100% for 5A*-C.It will be disturbing to think that my teachers could be really upset at me for failing particularly for Geography but I won't know until Thursday.

So the grade boundaries for the June maths foundation will be released on Wednesday at 6 am is that right ?

There is no set time. It'll probably be Wednesday but there is no exact time.

any more exam mark schemes, just log on online. But they won't be available to the public until way after results. (maybe a week to a month?)
