And yeah they were pretty good! The German reading was like a gift from God! Listening was fine until the middle where I know I've messed up a bit but not much. Annoyingly vocab learning didn't help as there wasn't much in there off the list. Geography was good too, AQA clearly heard my prayer for China's one child policy! How were they for you? -

Wow that's a lot of past papers! Hope they all paid off for you

Yeah I liked the reading but the Listening was hell! Really didn't like it. As for Geography I think it was reasonable but the 8 marker in development was a bit iffy, as was some of the wording but hey it's done now

I've been revising all day for Maths and partially bio. Maths has got me so stressed. I don't even know why I'm stressed. I wasn't as stressed for the non calc as I am for the calc paper even though I usually score more on the calc. Am I over reacting ? I just really want to get an A overall. 😰

best part is I wasn't completely wrong either
Yeah the wording was terrible! But I'm sooo glad it's all over now -

Kl. Thanks for reassuring me but I don't think my amount of stress will go away because everyone has been saying that the grade boundaries will be high this year. I just really want that A.
Nice signature by the way.

Well done Hannah. This is why I don't like being too close to people. I simply have a acquaintances and nothing but that. Of course there are people that I trust and have had a long friendship with but the thing is that I just like being on my own.This is the reason why I've been nicknamed the 'Lone wolf' by people and especially my English teacher. Lol. He's the one that started it.
I strongly believe that one does not form 'true friendship' until college or even university because you're still in the process of development and your interests, mindset and path of life changes during secondary school. I knew loads of people really well and we drifted apart due to the change of interest and paths in life. True friends are those that help you when in need not those that you play football with or people that are a good laugh,

Aww..it's fine Hannah...I've never had any friends tbh..I've only ever had acquaintances...besides think on the bright side...they don't deserve you...you'll get better friends once you're in uni...
Well done for your chemistry though...so proud of u...☺️

best part is I wasn't completely wrong either

Me too - now for the rest of them

It's ok Zoe. Well done 👏👏👏👏 I really hope you get what you deserve because you deserve a lot. I know this is a bit awkward but I was kind of missing your updates.

I was just like you at GCSEs and my friends always asked me how I got all A*'s and my reply was so similar. I said I want to get the highest mark and not the highest grade
Unfortunately I didn't get the highest marks for all of them but did get 11/11 A*'s.
I'm in year 12 atm and I do
Biology, Chemistry, Physics and A2 Maths (early entry for AS Maths and got full marks for C1 and C2 but barely scrapped an A in D1. I had completed GCSE mathematics in november of year 10. It was modular back then). Good luck hope you get the marks you want and not just the grades! -

How did your exams go ?
Thank you, you too. I'm not revising much for Maths - mainly doing Psychology. Maths is my strong point and I've already got an A* but I'm aiming for another one. Although on my results day paper it would still say Maths - A*. So psychology was my main priority today - 20 case studies to remember+ notes
