TO EVERYONE;
If you don't get a grade that you want and feel really upset about it, don't worry and just look at the achievements you have got with your other grades!

Sorry if that didn't make sense I'm so tired :tongue:
im acc freeaking out, i really want an A* in maths but in the calculator exam my calculator started acting up and it threw me off, i even crossed out my correct answer in the last question just because of it, sigh.. anyway

what i want:

maths: A*
english language: A*
english literature: A
Geography : A*
French: C
R.E: A*
Core Science:A*
Additional Science: A*
Further Additional Science: A*

m not sure if i,ll get an a* in eng lang or core science cuz the course work/ ISA might bring down my grade.. maths th total mark i had using unnofficial mark schemes was 173 but that could easily get lower;/ im praying the an A* is like 160/161 or something, so really i might end up with 4/5 A*s 2/3 A's and 1 ill be happy as long as i got A*s in science, maths and r.e tbh :smile:
Jesus this thread got busy :biggrin:
Won't be staying up for GBs though since the lack of sleep I (& I think a lot of other people too) have had recently (not bc GCSEs) will probably cause me to start crying / have a breakdown when I see how high they all are :lol:

Also, can anyone actually remember what any of the exams were like?? I forgot like 1 day after the exam :colondollar:

I did AQA, can't remember what courses but yeah, you can only drop 4-5 marks! And 4-5 marks are SPaG. So, if you are bad at SPaG and loose all marks for that then you can only drop 1 content mark!!
I'm staying up, the edexcel maths grade boundaries are stressing me out. I really want to get an A.

okay (this is from my memory):

AQA BIOLOGY - No biolgy in unit 1, so low GB, unit 2 + 3 was fairly easy
AQA CHEMISTRY - MOSTLY EASY, HIGH GB'S
AQA PHYSICS - HARD, LOW GB
EDEXCEL MATHS - TAD HARD, HIGHISH GB'S
OCR SOCIOLOGY - OKAY, PROBABLY A BIT HIGHER GB'S
IGCSE CIE ENGLISH - EASY, GB'S ARE FAIRLY HIGH THIS YEAR
EDEXCEL ENG LIT - I FOUND IT HARD, BUT I DIDN;T BOTHER REVISING
OCR HISTORY - WHO'S EVEN GOOD AT HISTRY?! LOL, IDK FOR GB'S
EDEXCEL SPANISH - HARD AF!, LOW GB'S

These are the ones that I did

I have hopefully got a solid B at least! It is ridiculous! You are super lucky! I have had a few bad dreams about not getting the grades I want in English.

I hope I get an A* in both of my English papers, that is all I want in my GCSEs :frown:
I'm stressing soo bad

Sorry to hear that, it's a horrible feel. Hope you get better after results and hope they're good for you. I've had problems sleeping. I wake up at like 2 and then stay awake for hours until I see sunlight and sleep for another 2 hours then give up.

Weirdly enough, I feel like the closer results day gets the less it feels real?
I've been worrying for the past few weeks but my nerves have seemed to ease more in the last few days. I'm sure they'll be back when I read the grade boundaries tomorrow though:s-smilie:

Anyway, I just wanted to say good luck to everyone and I really hope you get the grades you need and want! :biggrin:
