98. I was two UMS away. Oh well. What about you? Even though I revised for this a lot, in the exam I had no clue what to do and waffled and made stuff up (really). I still didn't expect that.

I got the same as you!

3UMS off an A* in Language - is it worth getting a remark? Do they ever go up that much? :tongue:

I think it could be worth a remark since English is quite subjective :smile:

Do you guys think these results would be decent enough for Medical school? (Bristol/Oxford standard). Also, which A-levels would you suggest from these grades? (i plan on having maths in there somewhere, possibly further too). finally, do you think these are good enough for Oxford in general?

A*’s:
-Physics
-Biology

A’s:
-Chemistry
-Mathematics
-Electronics
-History
-English Language
-English Literature
-Philosophy and Ethics
-Core Science

Distinction *’s at A-level:
-IT(Qcf) BTEC Level 3

Distinctions at GCSE:
-DiDA ICT Level 2

Very unlikely that you'd get into Oxford for medicine with those GCSEs. Unless you have any extenuating circumstances, you'd miss the short-listing by a very long way.

I'm really happy about French (I thought I wouldn't get anything higher than an 'A") and Maths (I was predicted a 'C'!!).

When do the individual marks come up? I can only see what grade I got in my exams.
And how many re-marks are you allowed.

Are the school supposed to give the offical certificate for the GCSE?

Need some advice. I feel a bit sad since I wasn't expecting the grades that I've got. I was predicted an an a in both maths and psychology but instead I got b's. Also I'm 4 ums off the a mark. Should I have it remarked?

I got 2 a's and 3 b's. I was predicted a in all of them. I only revised all of the topics 3 days before the exam. Are my gcse's good enough for the Russell Group Universities? I feel sad..

Why would it have to be an RG uni, specifically? :wink:

Your GCSEs are more than good enough. Just make sure you do your research and don't apply outside your scope!

Thanks tsr for inspiring me to try hard! Even though I only officially joined the other day I read the forums quite a bit and reading about other people's successes on here made me want to replicate them! Hopefully things don't all go downhill at AS :P

Well done everyone else too, there are some great achievements being posted here on this thread - be proud! :smile:

I've had a massive kick in the teeth today. I got 1A 1B 1C and 2Ds. Have been accepted to do 3 a levels and a btec. Realised that I have to work so much harder than I did.

Last year, 100% of students got 5Cs so you would have been bottom of my school that year.
