Worked so hard for GCSES but know I failed.

yeah, you're right. I guess whatever happens now, just happens. Thank you so much! I hope so. If you're getting your results tomorrow then I wish you so much good luck! xo

I love that there's so many people in the same situation and it's not just me.. it takes a little stress off my shoulder. Thank you so much and I hope so too! Good luck with your results, I hope you get the grades you want, if not, higher! x

I'm *****ing myself too so don't worry 🙈😔😁 I'm sure you've done amazing 😜

Don't worry about it too much, just speak to your parents and explain to them the situation so it helps. I told my parents to lower their expectations after seeing the grade boundaries, I think we are all in the same situation when it comes to the ridiculously high boundaries. Good luck with your results and I hope the hard work pays off!

I did the same thing

OP, I feel the exactly the same way as you. I know it's hard, but just try and keep your mind off it tonight. You've tried your best and that's all anyone could ask for. I'm sure you've done a lot better than you think and I bet you'll be on here this time tomorrow saying you got a string of A's and A*s


Good luck!

You'll be fine, people say the same thing every year. Grade boundaries ensure you get the grades you deserve most of the time and keep everything fair

Well stop thinking this until you actually get your results, a lot of people think they did **** then end up with good grades.

I worked so so so hard for my GCSES for around 3 months and I used to stay back so late to revise and every weekend id be at my desk from the moment I woke up to the moment I went to bed. I thought I did OK. But now, looking at the grade boundaries I'm so so heartbroken. I didn't think this year's exams were that simple tbh and were kind of harder than previous years. I was hoping for A's&B's but I just know that's definitely not going to happen anymore. I don't know what to do, I don't want my parents thinking I haven't worked hard enough because I don't get good grades because I've worked as hard as I could yet they won't see that in my grades. I hate these grade boundaries and I just can't understand how all my hard work is literally gone out of the window now. They say hard work pays off but now I know that's not true..

Good luck to all those getting results tomorrow. I know what it feels like! I got mine last year and I got grades that I thought I would never get but I worked my socks off for those. Btw OP, hard work does pay off!!

Everything about this is me too. I'm predicted B's and C's and I was determined to show them that I can do better than that and reach my full potential. I worked so so hard (even though a part of me tells me I could've worked harder, I don't think I could have really..) and yet these grade boundaries are going to pull me back from wanting A's and B's.

I am in exactly the same position as you! Apparently, a reason for high boundaries was because one of the papers were leaked and they so didnt want everyone to get high grades by cheating! I think this unfair if this is true because I worked hard like you! I told my mum and she said instead of getting upset about the GCSE boundaries focus on your next step (which for me is a levels) If a grade feels really wrong then ask for a remark or retake if you want. There's not much we can do about the ridiculously high grade boundaries really sad. Don't worry I wanted to get As and Bs an I feel your pain.
