22 August 2013 GCSE results: Discussion thread

I feel I should be more nervous, but I know I will be the night before and on the day. D: When I think about the exams and how hard I work, I don't think it was enough :s We'll see.... What's everyone most nervous for? Mine has to be Maths and Science.

Aw I feel for you!

You don't like the dentist! *In shock!*

21 days left....

Exited so but nervous been freaking out really bad.

Want to do Biology, Chemistry, Maths and History. What about you lot??

The only one i know for sure i have is Maths as i did the exam in Yr10 and got an A.

I'm going to be a wreck that day!



More like you like the dentist?!

I want to be a dentist, so yes!

same I want to be one, but after reading some of the dentist threads I'm having doubts

Nice job! May I ask why you want to be a dentist instead of a doctor?

I really like the practical side of work that dentistry offers, and the ability to work with my hands (which is something I like to do).

It also gives a more balanced lifestyle over medicine (you could disagree), but the working hours are a lot more consistent.
There is also a more caring side to the job in my opinion, with total focus being on one patient at a time and making sure that you satisfy their needs individually. There is also that sense of reward I suppose- It must feel great to know that you've dramatically improved someone's oral health, or their appearance- (or even in the eyes of a general practitioner, just knowing that you have prevented any more damage from advancing)

I also admire the technology and research that is going forward to advance treatments and the procedures that dentists are able to carry out.

i want to do medicine as a possibility too...

what a levels are you doing next year??
I'm doing: Biology, Chemistry, History, Maths and Extended Project

Its not all about grades , as long as they are A and above it's fine, although the more A*s the better, interview is the most mportant

jats

what did you get in your other chemistry exams ?

Good answer. I only ask because many people choose medicine over dentistry. I would also choose medicine over dentistry (sorry!) and I would also like to use my hands, so therefore would probably go down a surgical route.

hey sorry to scrape in but surely going down the surgical route will give you no free time? i wanna be a surgeon and ive been told you literally sleep in the hospital?

Haha! Well I hope that you get a good teacher then. A good teacher makes a lot of difference!

I have a dentist appointment on the same day

Unsure whether I should share my results with my friends or just go home.

I'm doing maths, physics, biology and chemistry.
To be honest i feel the same way - so long as i get As i'm alright, unfortunately for me all my family are expecting me to get loads of A*s and i'm a bit worrid as to what there going to say when i get them.
Good luck with your results.

I got an A in my isa, an A in my unit 1 and a B in my unit 2

I reckon I'll get 8/9 maybe 10 A/A*s. More likely 7 or 8A/A*s, 2 Bs

Obviously I would be proud with any of those results, but I somewhat feel sorry for anyone who didn't do as well on theirs. I don't want to come across as a 'boaster' by showing off my results.
