22 August 2013 GCSE results: Discussion thread

i was expected to get mostly As and only a few Bs, but everything went wrong, i had to go through a lot, guests coming over everyday cus some thieves decided to brake through my house...so my stress, and i didn't know about telling the exam board, because that way they would have marked me up

Thank you, i also got 100% on two of the units 88 on an other and the coursework was 70, so i might see if it's worth it

I got 100% on the coursework, 97% on one module and 84% on another then in the june exam i got 64% do you think it's worth getting a remark? Anyone?

You didn't do awful just forget about it and try and ace A-level I had my heart set on going to oxbridge but I only got 2A* 6A 2B and 1C but I had a poor attendance due to illness and had no extra help with marking so hopefully if I do well at A-level I can still do it, also that will be the same with you but there are other routes for you to take

can i take the undergraduate route, by taking psychoogy for a-level, and then making my way to becoming a quaified doctor?

and iv'e been told i can't take even 1 science for a-level, so are the chances impossible..? what if i get all As and A*s at a-level, achieving top grades...

dont let anybody tell you that you can i know my friends brother who got a d in science and does bio and he is going to cambridge his alevels are A* target even though he got Ds all Ds in his gcses

although, that makes me feel a little better, but what oter routes are there for me to take, if i can't do bio/chem or physics for a-level, and you still got 8A-A* grades, your results are better than mine, by far.

how did he get to do science then, in my sixth form you need to get a 'BB', to do 1 science, and an 'AA' to do two science a-levels

Moderation isn't always bad - I had got 78/80 and 79/80 in my first two chemistry modules, but then my chemistry 'teacher' marked my controlled assessment and gave me a C. I asked her why and she rambled on for a bit so I was like 'fair enough' but obviously really disappointed that my controlled assessment was so bad that it had ruined all my hard work for the exams. However, when my coursework was moderated, my marks went from 42/80 to 74/80...she clearly didn't know what she was doing. But yeah I'm pretty happy that I got my A* overall for chemistry. Yay for moderation! :smile:

It says on many university websites/ prospectuses that you need atleast 6 As at GCSE and that's an actual requirement
