It literally has not sunk it that it is tomorrow. I've still got the nervous feeling I've had for months, but not the ''oh crap, its tomorrow'' nervous feeling.
My hands are shaking from looking at Edexcel grade boundaries.
And I can't find the AQA IGCSE boundaries - I don't think they're out yet but I may be wrong. I can't find them.

I'm not trying to be disrespectful or put you off, if it's what you want then go for it, but from my experience of visiting one the students at grammar schools think they are above those from normal public schools.
And it can't really be justified. Grammar schools are full of much more middle-class people, and I overheard a lot of them saying the only expected to get D's and C's tomorrow. Whereas at my school, there are a lot of working class, poor background students who are expected to get all A*.

Grammar school students are elitist snobs, and will look down on you depending on what school you come im actually going to take that on board however I come from a fairly respected school and I have few friends there and they definitely not snobs! Obviously there probably will some stuck up people there let's just hope they are a small number

I REALLY hope German boundaries are low...

The teaching and that you get probably will be better, in fairness, and you might come out with better results if you apply yourself. Just try and stay grounded and remember we are all equal!

Me too! Hopefully 30/45 for an A in reading and 26/40 for an A in listening. Probably would be 37/45 for an A* for reading and 32/40 for an A* in listening.
The wait...
I seriously hope English Lit doesn't go up.

The tension of knowing how badly we're gonna fail :'(
(joking of course)
I think I screwed up my German exams so badly, I really want them to be low so there's a glimmer of hope for tomorrow! German is the one subject I'm really worried for!

Well last year it was 43 and 37. But I can't see it ever being lower than that so sadly can see a rise and it being like you have predicted.
EDIT: I did The Crucible and Of Mice and Men. Then Character and Voice on the poems.

It was quite obvious Slim would come up, I quite liked the actual passage and part b, I just think I could had done a better job with it and didn't go as well as it could had. Guess I'll find out tomorrow.
