I got my Nat 5 results. The only one I'm really disappointed in is Biology I got a C and I'm so annoyed :/ I worked so hard on Biology all year it was the one subject I tried really hard in and I was getting 85% on the model papers. I also got 59% in the prelim and only chose higher biology later on and I don't think I'll be able to do higher now which is really annoyed me because I really like Biology and need it for higher. I thought I found the exam went quite well apart from a few problem solving questions which I thought were worded really awkwardly :/

Art A
Biology C
English B (Went from 42% in the prelim to a B :biggrin: )
French B (I was ill on the exam and guessed most of the listening so how I managed that is beyond me)
Graph Comm C
History A
Media A


Well done on your results, they are really good - don't worry about Biology too much. You've got loads of other awesome results. It's worth talking to your school as they have the decision as to whether to allow you to do higher, and if you really want to, then they may let you!

Congratulations again!

Really sorry about that - you should definitely check UCAS at 9am though, and they may still have accepted. Alternatively, you could ask a teacher to speak to the uni to try and persuade them - apparently that has been said to work so worth a try.

I really hope it works out!


Thanks for the advice, I suppose what's for you won't go past you, just really upset as I had my heart set on going to do adult nursing

Don't be silly, it can't be changed so I may aswell just accept it, I'm going to call the uni and see what's what and if it's a rejection then I've got a job so I'm not sitting with nothing
I stayed up until 1 then went to sleep and my results came through at 01:19.. typical

Technically, could be up to 3 hours 45 minutes, but lets hope its not that long. We'll be here for a while though as well. What subjects have you taken?
I was just wondering, did anyone get am A in Higher Art.

I got a B which I am slightly disappointed with because I put so much time and effort into my practical and I was getting 100% in most written practices including my prelim.
