GCSE results 2020
How is everyone feeling about results day. I'm so nervous. Like sometimes I think I've done okay and other times I feel like I have done really bad.

In all honesty, youve probably done fine considering youre almost guaranteed to get a higher grade than what you got in the mocks (Unless you got 7/8/9) Focus on other things for now, worrying wont do you any good <3 Stay safe!

More than anything I'm just tired of waiting. I'm expecting my results to be lower than what I would like, which is a bit sh*t, but there's nothing I can do about it so who cares.

I got 2A*'s, 4A's and 4C's for my year 11 mocks so im pretty sure i'll get higher than that (hopefully) and even if i dont i'll still be happy with that. Im nervous af as well tho.
your school still uses the old grading system?

1. Theyve taken into consideration (at least at my school) that people try harder in the real exams as compared to the mocks
2. Schools have a reputation to maintain, say everyone got a 5 in the history mock, they wouldnt give them a 5 for their final grade, as it reflects poorly upon their teaching
3. My teachers told me theyll try to boost our grades as much as possible

aha I get what you mean! But to be fair, it doesn't matter whether it looks good or bad; *some* universities (I assume you're planning to go to one), when they look at GCSE grades often refer to the old grading system. So they don't want a min number of 9s but a min number of A*s and by A*s, they mean 8s and 9s. That's a mouthful...

But the teacher grades are being moderated. So, if you're school hasn't done as good(in previous years) as the grades your teachers predicted it's likely the grades will go down. However, exam boards did say if there's a niche ie like if only 3 ppl did business for example they won't use previous years results in consideration as with such few ppl changes are likely to be more drastic. But I agree that the exam boards should take in consideration that people often put most of their efforts after the mocks.

but i keep tellung myself i can't change anything so i shouldnt dwell on it too much and focus on the positive changes i can make ie try harder in a levels and achieve the grades i want. im trying to use this experience as a learning thing like in a levels i wanna consistently try from the start cuz u never know what can happen u know.

ahhh that's good. but i read on a uni website i think it was cardiff and thet use a point ssystem and level 9 had like 3 points and 7/8 had 2 points. so they combine the 7 and the 8 not the 8/9 unfortunately(but this isnt the case w all unis)
