Do you guys have any tips for preventing a break down just so that I can be prepared for worst case scenario?


Perhaps don't open your results in front of anyone, I'm certainly not going to open up my results in front of friends!

I often do better on unit 1, was this aqa you did if so how did you find paper 2

Yeah it was aqa, I think unit 2 was a bit better than paper 1. But to be fair I did struggle with both!
Strangely enough, everyone I know has been getting the best results this year and last year when the weather has been awful (rain etc.)

Good news,
it is raining on Thursday :smile:
That is a good sign for GCSE results.

Yeah but if I dont open it at school, it'll be even worse opening in front of parent's though (asian parents)

Ahhh, maybe you can just open them up in the corner or something? I'm really nervous about opening my results...it makes me feel sick!

i messed up on the unit 1 8 markers where i felt more confident on unit 2 for some reason?
I did:
restless earth
water on the land
coastal zone

population
changing urban
tourism
My school have it configured that you get to open your results and then have a one on one with form tutors about options and what you're going to do etc. probably quite a good idea.

Good luck everyone! I fly to Portugal on the same day in the afternoon so i'm either flying to celebrate or flying away from my failure.

Honestly, I never find Geog exams good (I normally get high B grades) and this one felt really good for some odd reason, I did a lot of revision for it though, so hopefully it pays off.
