22 August 2013 GCSE results: Discussion thread

I'm sure it will turn out fine I was sure I had got a B in chemistry but came out with a high A in the end (it was my worst subject ) so I wouldn't worry about what you think you've done badly in

the exam board will ask for like a sample of 10 to check the teachers marking .. if its too extreme they ask for all the CAs and mark them themselves if its okay they accept the teachers marks and will then take them marks and convert them to UMS for your results slip

GCSE results day - Thursday 22 August 2013

Good luck to everyone as we approach the publication of GCSE results. This thread is here for you to discuss your thoughts about results with others in a similar position. Feel free to chat about any of your feelings, concerns or hopes with other members here

If you'd like to share your predictions for your results, as well as the actual grades that you achieve on the day, you can use the dedicated "Post your results" thread. Upon publication, the Grade boundaries thread will be used to share the details made available by exam boards. For anyone disappointed with their results, we have a thread with advice for those who haven't done as well as they hoped to help you to decide what to do next.

You stole my OP position in both threads :notimpressed:

Hey, it looks you're confident that you're going to do well and there is nothing wrong with that. However, it comes across as bragging... which is a little insensitive to those not so confident (not hating by any means but stating what I think)
Also, I hope this doesn't sound bitchy, but OCR Nationals are not equalivent to GCSE A*or A

I thought that I'd put out there that I am in the 20% that doesn't want to do medicine! I'm an aspiring MFL teacher

HIGH FIVE! Which languages? I'm going for German, French and Spanish but maybe something less taught too like Russian x

My motivation for pre-studying for a levels is dependant on my results.

They are officially, qualification discrimination should be illegal.

haha I had a lot of spare time last summer

saying that I have a lot of spare time this summer

thanks ive finished bronze and i'll be starting silver in September (when my teacher signs my stuff of stupid holidays ) after school this time though

I was going to do gold at university but im unsure yet. If you get gold you're guaranteed interview in any application apparently

Is that actually true that if you do Gold you're guaranteed an interview? Because I completed Bronze in year 9 and silver in year 10 and Im still deciding whether to do Gold in Year 12 or not? But will a Gold Duke of Edinburgh boost my application if I were to apply to Medicine? Thanks

I feel special as i'm not in the 80% i'm one of the other 20% that want to do engineering or education etc

I'm still not nervous yet... More worried about A Levels.

I've been feeling optimistic, and it feels as if I'm just setting myself up for disappointment

Yeah the next 2 years aren't going to be easy to put it that way, I'm not looking forwards to the workload!

I just want to get into sixth form, anything above that and I'll be happy with them
