Expected: 7A*s, 3As + B FM

I know I'm going to be disappointed to matter what and it's killing me :frown:

Hi everyone. I'm quite confused. Results day is 25th of August - but my enrolment for the college is on the same day and in the morning, so how does this work?

You just pick up your results and then go to your college, if the times clash then ask if you can have a different enrolement slot, I haven't even gotten mine yet!
I may actually film mine and upload it to youtube...:biggrin:

it's not hard (to get an A at least since you usually need around 65-70%) but this year's paper was really difficult so loads of people who were predicted As think they're gonna get a lot lower
i'm just hoping for low grade boundaries lol

Most people I know just want to walk out with a C or D because they never asked to do it. People who are really into their maths can get an A with the low grade boundaries but this year it was harder than usual.

Is that AQA further maths? I managed to self-teach myself the syllabus in under 3 months. I also thought that was a really nice paper this year I'll be horrified if I don't get A* or A*^ :smile:
The expectations of some people on here are unreal

Right, I'm sure it was difficult. But, let's see how much 'lower' the grade boundaries become. Usually, they don't go lower by a lot. This happens a lot at A-level lool

Nope, sorry. It's OCR FSMQ (6993). I used to always insist on saying FSMQ instead of Further Maths but I guess I gave in for that post. The paper was trickier than other years'.

I knew it all perfectly at one point but just didn't begin to revise it in time. I only did about 3-4 days of revision so I only have myself to blame. It's one thing getting a low grade if you don't get it but another if you knew it all and just didn't revise.

Anyway, I'll stop being depressing. It's great that you found it nice, hope you get what you're aiming for :smile:
