What did you get in your mocks (GCSE)?

This might not be completely relevant to the thread but how many of you guys had proper study leave for your mocks? I'm currently doing them now and my school seems to be the only one doing that. It's pretty nice but it makes me wonder if they're more important than people put across.

My school have told us that if we are seriously ill during the exam season and cannot sit out exams they are allowed to enter our mocks if they were done under controlled situations and were genuine past papers (that had not been modified etc. I don't know if that's entirely true though. I wish we could have had a proper study leave, nobody has even explained how it will work at my school. Then again my school doesn't explain anything!

Oh, that's still really good already, don't worry :biggrin:

Are these your mocks or the real thing?
And nooo, I'm taking about study leave for mocks, not the real exams already! I was just asking because it seemed unusual that my school bothers, although it's really nice they do!

I've heard this thing about using your mocks instead in extreme circumstances, but I was so sure it was a rumour! Your school actually told you that?
And yeah, weird, right? It's quite lucky though because it gives me more time and I'm hoping to transfer next year so good mocks would be helpful. When were yours?

I sat a real GCSE English Language exam in November and got an A. I also resat my maths to try and get an A* (which I did)
These are my mock results:
Biology: A
Chemistry: A*
English Literature: B (1 mark off an A :mad:

)
French Listening:B
French Reading: A
History: A
Music: C (Music GCSE is the devil and no body should EVER take it for GCSE!)
Physics: A*
Statistics: A

I hope to move all my grades up by 1 by the real exams (apart from the ones that can't) then I will be happy.

What are your aims by May/June?

I sat the exam in November in hopes of getting A* but unfortunately it didn't happen, but at least I tried. I hope get a mixture of A/A* hopefully no Bs. i haven't set specific target but I will study very hard

Ohh lol, got a bit muddled up :s-smilie:

Your school is extremely generous, I was forced to do p.e before my history mock! The only exam I sat in november was Maths and I made no improvement... but I'm comfortable with those grades.

We are on the same boat, i did the maths exam again to get an A*, i guess i will try harder in A-level. But Well done on your grades. I will study so much harder, the night before it not very effective at all

Agreed

the irony is that I'm exploiting the generosity to get out of here though!
Yeah you should be, Maths is hard anyway. Are you planning on taking it further to A Level?
