I did, here's mine:

Chemistry: A* (C1 and C2)
Physics: A* (Just P2... My teacher lost our P1 papers)
Biology: A* (B1 and B2)
Geography: A* (Physical paper. Haven't got human paper results)

Computing: A*

I also do Spanish, but we didn't do a proper paper, although I've got full marks on all my coursework.

Disappointed with the two 2 B's though!

Yeah that's exactly how I felt about it too! I thought I was doing the Foundation paper for C1 ! Although I hope they don't lower the grade boundaries too much as many thought C1 was quite easy. C3 was harder than I thought to be honest and C2 was really good. I hope you achieve the results you want! :smile: It's making me so nervous waiting for the results!:s-smilie:

I got:
English: A*
Business Communication Systems: A*
French: A (so close to an A* urgh)
History: A (again, so close to an A*, got full marks on the Germany depth study but misinterpreted some sources)
Art: B (ran out of time)
Maths: B (major improvement needed here)

Didn't do any science because our year sat the GCSE core sci exams this year so they'll just go with our actual results next week.


Apparently the maths GCSE paper in 2016 is going to be even harder. We might expect several questions that are as hard as hannah sweets. :frown:

Yes omg haha I thought they were trick questions! I was stressing out so much over C3 because I felt like I did so bad :frown: Oh dear I hope not, it really isn't fair if they do haha. Me too! Only a week left!! Thank you, I hope you do too :smile:

Me too but I just hope for C1, it isn't one of those situations where "if it's easy then you're doing it wrong" :ashamed2: And thank goodness I'm not the only one who feels the same way about C3! Everyone I spoke to said it was easy :colonhash: And you find out in a week? Lucky you! I find out in a month's time (when I go back to school) because GCSE results day on the 20th is only for the year 11s! :frown:

That's how I felt like during C1 oddly enough :frown: but I do hope AQA aren't mean and raise it, if they do I'd probably cry. Same omg, everyone said C2 was hard! Really?? They won't even mail it to you?? Wow, that sucks :frown:

I'm just trying to be optimistic about it! And me too, I'm just praying that the grade boundaries are low. Yep, not even through mail :frown: I think I'm probably going to collapse when I'm about to find out. I can't imagine how nervous the year 11s will be feeling! Will be us in a year :redface:

Me too, but I guess it's better to get a good mark you weren't expecting than being sure you will get a good grade but get a bad grade haha. Oh dear haha, I think I'll cry whether good or bad tbh! Oh gosh, I'm scared already, let's hope the exams are easy for next year :smile:

I did, I got:

Core science mock - 2 C's
Maths - C
English - A*
History - B(1 off an A)
German - C
Psychology - B(1 off an A)
R.S - A
Sociology - B

I didn't do a computing mock since we were learning about our controlled assessment (A452 + A453)


overall I'm pretty disappointed but that's what I get for not revising

year 10 mocks will not dictate what you will get at the end of year 11. They are absolutely pointless. Remember that.
