Thanks. Fellow Welshie :five:

I'm most pissed off with RS and Business :mad:

Wayhey, they're quite hard to find here :dontknow:

Why,what happened? I'm annoyed about business too; did you do WJEC or OCR?

Ahh, see all through Y10 and half of Y11, we did wjec, but my teacher somehow thought it was a good idea to switch to OCR halfway through the year...I had my only B in that, but nobody got higher than a B so I don't know what happened :hand:

Ah no! What's going on with business these days!? An A's still awesome though!
Yeah my teacher just went 'aww,they were marking really harshly this year' and I was thinking, 'well that's no consolation really..'

Hmm, and if it goes down, although the exam officer at my school said so far they've all stayed the same :/

I just got my result for maths today, it was my first ever formal GCSE exam, I got a B. I was wondering if that is a decent grade for a guy that sat it in year 9?

I sat mine at the end of year 11 and only managed a B :lol:

So that's great, congratulations :smile:

Anyone else who did OCR Philosophy and Ethics get a low mark on one of their ethics papers? I think it was the religion poverty and wealth one because i got full marks in both my philosophy papers, 40/50 in one ethics then 34/50 in the religion poverty and wealth one giving me overall an A :frown:

. The overall was 174/200 does anyone know the grade boundary? Do you think it's worth getting the low one remarked to try and get an A*? Any replies would be appreciated :smile:

Exact thing happened to me, and I also got 174/200! I'm not sure about the boundaries though... I think it's 180 for A* but I'm not 100% sure :confused:
