The waiting for exam results are seriously stressing me out
CAn i just say one thing first?
The thread that was first kiss worries was started by my little sister. She doesnt have an account on here and wanted to use mine, so i let her. It wasnt me using it.
Back to topic
Ok, my maths GCSE results are the most imortant results i could ask for at the moment. I want to be maths teacher and do double maths at college but... i need an A or A* to do it.
Ive had 2 dreams concerning my grades and they are starting to scare me a bit.
The first, went into school for results day a bit different but of course it was a dream. We got all grades seperately... last one was maths. Well i think i could have got an A* but when my head of maths gave me the grades i got a C on the non calc and B on the calc. I had a masive argument with her because aparently i got 76% overall. Then i went and punched my maths teacher for lying to me for two years.
The second, i had my results delivered. Maths in a different envelope because its a different exam board than the others. This time i got a C on one paper and A* on the other.
BAsically, the anxiaty (sorry about my spelling) of my results is taking over my life. I dont want to go out with my friends because all everyone is talking about is results day. Its all i keep dreaming of and almost every text i get is about results.
Is there an ways of getting rid of this anxiety? I would normally talk to my best friens but one has moved the other side of the country and the other is on holiday for 3 weeks.
Any advice?

Waiting is just plain infuriating!
Also all my friends are going "I'm going to fail, oh no!" even the really smart ones and they shout at me for telling them they are being silly
Then when they ask me what I'm expecting/ what I want they have a go at me for being confident
Grrrr lol

I'm npt worried about mine. What ever will be will be. Keep yourself busy, get a job or something, it will keep your mind off it. Do you have a back up plan if it doesnt work out? That might keep you mind at rest that it wouldnt be a total disaster if you dont get what you want.

Work 70 hours + a week. Go out, picnic, canoeing, swimming, whatever. Take narcotics. 
Edit: quit whining, GCSE's aren't that bad, I dread to think what you chaps are gonna be like in two years when a lot more rests on it!

im basically in the same boat as you doing maths and further maths, at AS then i want to do maths at uni, so the GCSE result is pretty important. i was worried up until about 2 weeks ago, funny how everyone keeps having dreams about results day, in mine i got a B in maths. Anyway the way i think of it is i've already sat my exam and therefore my grade is now more or less already decided, i didn't spend all the time i could have revising but i did revise, this means i have done fairly well but if i don't achieve the grade i should its my own fault and it not the end of the world. my teacher would still let me do further maths cos she know i am good enough and this failure will have taught me my lesson.
Your luckey you are obviously staying at your school. Im going to Alton college and they dont really know me. Im sure if i dont get the required marks my teacher will write a letter or something as i know he knows i am more than able of getting the top grades. I revised like crazy and my teacher told me that i couldnt be more prepared if i tried. The only problem i am having is that my teacher told me that 65% would be an A* averagely but from doing the exam i have found out that that is a load of ****. During the mocs and all the practice papers i did i got about 56-80 marks on them and if thats what i have got in the real thing i might not have got n A*

There is always a way. If you want something bad enough, there will always be a way to get it, no matter what result you get. This country is now so big on second chances etc that anyone can do anything if they put their mind to it. I'm in the same boat as you.. 2 weeks or so until we get our results.. but I know that at the end of the day, I've done what I've done and I can't change what grade I have so there's no point fretting. As long as you get into college you can go on to do maths and wow them there! :]

GCSE's mean very little.

By the way, I know how you feel about wanting to get an A*. There is so much more lying on something when it's YOUR subject, you know? Like for example maths is obviously your subject therefore you're personal expectation is an A*.. english is mine. But if you don't get an A*, it's not the end of the world because as I mentioned above, there's always a chance at AS/Alevel.

GCSE's mean very little.
First GCSEs dont mtter very little, if you dont go to college you still cant get a job in a shop or resurant or even adsa without GCSEs. My couson droped out just before her GCSEs and now she cant get a job anywhere also without them you cant go to colege.
Second, like said aboove.... maths is my subject and it means a lot to me. To everyone else it might mean nothing but to me it feels like everything. Not only for myself but for my parents and my maths teacher who gave me extra lessos right up until the last ten minutes before the second exam.

Dude I know the feeling. I'd rather do GCSE's all over again than get anything less than an A at english.
To say GCSE's mean nothing is ridiculous. They mean everything. If GCSE's mean nothing, what DO mean something? A-levels? Degrees? A-levels/degrees are not POSSIBLE without the right GCSE grades. Like Jsk says, you can't even get a decent job nowadays without at least a GCSE in maths and english at C and above.

Once you get past GCSE's, you realise that qualifications are only a means to an end. There are roughly two groups: those who do well at GCSE's, and those who have to do some work if they want to do well. (By doing well I mean hitting the stepping stone to Alevel's) I think I realised the same is true of Alevels way too early and let it slide a bit.

I think what he was trying to say was that in the long run they matter very little, which is true. They do, of course, matter when it comes to getting into college and such like, but once you're past that nobody really cares what you got for your GCSEs.
Anyway, don't worry too much about the waiting, tens of thousands of people are in the same boat. Try to put it in that perspective. There are people waiting on GCSEs like you and A level results like myself, and most people in my boat have a place at uni riding on the pending results.
In the meantime, keep yourself busy. If you're thinking about something else you can't be thinking about the results. I did a bit of work in the garden with some music on loud the other day and I didn't think about it once. Watching a movie before I go to sleep helps loads as well.
Providing you're generally realistic, the fact you are aiming for/expecting top grades tells me you'll probably be fine anyway.

If your only worry is whether you'll drop to a B, you need to stop ****ing worrying. The only people with a right to worry are those who have had to work bloody hard to aim for a B, but might slip to a C or D. That means a lot more than a B or an A. The only time anyone ever mentioned my GCSE's was at my oxford interview, where they asked why I got a B in art GCSE; I applied to do straight maths. All other uni's didnt make a single comment about GCSE's.
Firstly, no-one believes you. Sibling blame is the most blatent attempt at a cover up! :P I tried it too when i was young, (when i was 5, not 16 i mean) despite the fact she couldn't even hold a pen at that age :C
As for exam woes, like others say, get busy. You can't control what you dream about, but come results day you'll regret wasting the summer thinking about exams, instead of having a great time, then you'll get swept into AS work work work work.
I admit, i have also had dreams lately, where on results day this girl called Bernice (who talks of nothing but how she is better than everyone with 10A*) beats me by 1 mark on all of my Further Maths exams, and then i got into a fight with Dr Tuck, my Maths teacher, because he said i wasn't deserving enough of his teachings, and thus no longer good enough to play volleyball. It's all very intresting because i've never played volleyball before, and I taught myself FM, and although there is this loving rivalry going on between me and her, i know she's beat! ;D It's only a matter of time. So it's all a bit silly really, but you can only laugh at it :P
Good luck with your exams anyways. Stop worrying! You'll do fine. xxx

Don't worry, if you want to be a maths teacher you obviously enjoy maths and by the sound of it, did a lot of revision.
(Plus I got an A in maths at GCSE and I'm terrible at the subject so you'll be fine)

chill out, exams really aren't that important..... there's absolutely nothing you can do about it now so just relax and enjoy your youth!

You've done the exams now! Enjoy the rest of the holiday before the hard work REALLY begins.
Anyway, even if you do slip and get a B at GCSE, it's not the end of the world! When you apply to uni, they'll take your GCSEs into acocunt, but then they'll focus much more on your AS levels/predicted grades etc. in double maths. As long as you've got 5 A* - C GCSEs in Maths and English, who cares?
But then again, I get the impression you're a hard worker and if you want an A* then you're gonna get an A*. If you've put the effort in to get the high grades, then you have nothing to worry about.
