My GRADES are NOT good! :(

I'm looking at getting 5 or maybe 6 GCSEs.

GCSE English Language - C
IGCSE Maths- B
GCSE Chemistry - B
GCSE Physics - B
GCSE Biology - C
GCSE Geography - C

I'm hoping to do Maths/Chemistry/Physics at A Level.
Any advice? I'm really stressed. Is that enough GCSEs for a good future? :frown:

Yeah, as long as you get onto A-levels. Physics is solid af though!
Well your eyesight definitely is, so you've got that going for you which is nice...
You got your 5*-cs which is enough to get you onto alevels. (Depends on the school though)
The subjects you want to do you say you are hoping to get Bs in which is enough. So yeah if you do get those grades then you will be perfectly fine to do those alevels. (Although theres some colleges which needs you to get 7A*s-Cs but those are usually the top ones.)

I actually find physics much easier than the other science subjects. This is the opposite for most people and I struggle mostly with biology.

I feel I will probably achieve an A in physics but if I don't have a nice exam I'll be looking at a B.

Thanks though. :smile:

I wish to do the same as you but also with further maths or biology as long as you can get those a levels then that's fine
Well yk the truth is no-one cares what grades you get. Its not about what grades you get its how much effort you put in. Dont comapre yourself to other poples grades becauase every1 is different. Your grades dont define who you are as a person. As long as you try your best no-one cares what you get. x

GOOD LUCK FOR YOUR EXAMS :smile:
They are very good, out of interest how many GCSE's are you doing?

I am doing 8 GCSEs but I am definitely not passing all of them. For example, U in coursework for some. :frown:

I think they are pretty good grades, my only concern is science and maths (at my school) are really strict and won't accept anyone onto the course below an A, but if you enjoy science and maths go for it!
