Oh and I did much worse than that

I think those grades are fine! You have to remember this is TSR, where getting any lower than 57895337 A*s is seen as having done badly. As long as you tried your best, that's all that matters.

Damn haha.



I'm sure you didn't do too bad man.



Yeah I know, that's why I feel out of place.
I didn't try my best... I just did enough to get by, and the reason L&T and Food Tech were the two subjects I didn't pass was because they were a 'doss' and I just found it too easy/boring and didn't bother paying any attention in class whatsoever. I'm just kicking myself because I know that if I actually knuckled down I could have gotten a better set of results. Oh well. It's not like GCSEs are that important anyway. I mean, after tomorrow (my enrolment), they're practically useless/irrelevant..

Yeah, I'm kind of nervous about it but as you said, they compliment each other so it should be OK! The only reason I considered something else is because I'm not as good at Physics, I struggle with it more than the others so I was a bit worried about taking it further. But in the end I did fine at GCSE, only a few UMS worse than the others, so I decided I should be able to cope - and if I can't, I'll just drop it after AS.

Ah, I was in a similar situation with English Lit - I hated the novels we were studying, so I was a bit reluctant to revise them. But good or bad, GCSE grades are forgotten a week after results day. You should enjoy sixth form/college a lot more, because you'll only be doing courses you enjoy! What are you going to be studying?

8 A*s, 6 As, B and a C.

(AAB was meant to be A*A*A* so I fell short!)

I like biology actually, HATE the A Level and exam system for it

I like... French, Spanish, Italian... Starting German, speak some Welsh, Bengali and read Arabic and Russian...throw in some Swahili

Aah, I'll have to have a listen!

That's still a good set of results. What did you get the A in?



Yeah, it's horrible when you can't stand what your studying. I was the same in English Lit too - somehow managed to get an A in both the coursework and poetry exam though - and I got a B overall. Yeah, I am seriously looking forward to starting! Maths, German, Psychology and Sociology, you?

Im in the exact same situation as you

Welcome to the new current year 12 thread, our home for the next year. (We’re now in the A Level forum )! that must mean we have matured This is the start of 2 very important years for us and A levels can be hard but that won't scare us! We have a high target to beat last year’s year 12s so let's all work hard

Below is a list of subjects and exam boards that we are all taking, I'm sure it will be useful when you need somebody to help you (Newcomers please quote me if you wish to be added )



Make sure you work your hardest all year and I'm sure the next results day will be fine, and in order to work hard here are some useful links below ( I'll add some more as I find them

http://www.examsolutions.co.uk - For Maths
http://www.Chemguide.co.uk - For Chemistry

And Finally if you have any query about A-level Choices or University choices make sure you ask/quote L'evil Fish or drop him a PM I will also answer any regarding Medicine or direct you to more helpful thread

Best of luck for the forthcoming year!

Well, at least we're in this together then!! (tries to avoid getting the High School Musical song in head and fails)

Woah, you took a lot of GCSEs!! How did you manage to take so many?? That's seriously impressive Congrats!!

Oh, are you doing A level biology then?

That's loads of languages! I can't imagine being able to speak/ read some of all of them. That's incredible! I thought I was doing OK with some French, a little German and a little Malagasy

Experimenting is great fun! I've tried writing quite a few different genres, I just tend to end up adding fantasy elements even when I try not to... fantasy and mythology fascinates me, I also love to use my imagination and I just find those genres are the best for expressing that in. Ahh, children's stories, that's awesome I tend to write for slightly older audiences, low teens mainly, but I'd love to try writing for a younger audience at some point. I'm particularly bad at planning though... I tend to just write and see where the story goes, which is sometimes great but sometimes really confusing!

That sounds like an incredible story! I love the idea, and I bet your target demographic would as well. I would love to read it at some point, if you were happy with that. A few friendly aliens are always a good addition to a story!

I'm writing more fanfiction than original stuff at the moment (I must get out of that habit) but I'm currently tossing a few ideas around about a mythology-based story centred around angels. I need to develop my characters more before I start anything though.

Of course we can continue this tomorrow! I should probably also be going to bed really... the internet is far too addictive.

Maybe xD What occupation are you thinking about?

Sorry to just randomly barge in on your conversation (I feel awfully rude) but I also want to be a novelist although I'm not sure I'll ever get there. So I just wanted to say hi! What sort of novels would you be interested in writing? Personally I quite like fantasy/ sci-fi/ horror, sometimes with an element of dystopia or something similar.

i know i need 18 in 2 CA's for an A* overall in language but she was a tough marker/person

and no she definitely hated me i had a CA marked at 20/20 and she lowered it to a 12 and said my punctuation and tense wasn't good enough ..even though it was an exam CA (the spoken study one) so it didn't matter.... i then went and 'bitched' about her (as she put it) to the MFL department and she found out

Enrolment in a few hours. I was talking to my friend who had it yesterday, and they said that we have to write an essay (at least one side of A4) about where we think we will be in 10 years...

... I don't even know what I'm doing this weekend.
