Just got back from Greece. The grade boundaries look hopeful, I was particularly pleased with the ISA and B3 boundaries. Roll on 9:00!

Well this is it. It all comes down to this final, crucial moment. All that revising, all those examinations, all the paranoia, and it all ends tomorrow. The struggle has ended and today is the moment of truth. :holmes:

God bless you all :cool:

7 hours 17 minutes and 59 seconds until results time :unimpressed:

Yep, I read a BBC article earlier today that said the same things.

Not sure how it affects me (or to what degree) though, since some of my GCSEs were IGCSEs.

I should be going to sleep but I can't sleep because I was thinking what is so important about these results?-I mean I am definetley going to get an A* in Maths and I have already got one in English, I am going to get 5Cs and the 6Cs in the English Baccalaureate subjects but then it hit me-the reason is UCAS and application to universities because they will get to see all them stupid Bs or As that should be A*s and see how badly you did and the thought of handing in grades like Bs and not handing a majority of A*s is awful.If GCSEs are so important why do they feature on UCAS forms?

I shouldn't really be surprised that I can't sleep because I have had insomnia for most of my life but I have had some good sleep recently, only when I go about 4am though.Its quite common for me to try to get to sleep for an hour or two or fail.
