Looking at your previous threads and posts, you seem to be very uneasy about your maths grade.
You will have to wait till summer and if you got a 4, then you can ask your school for a resit. I think it varies with the school. Some schools consider 4 as a good pass.

But for now, relax a little and try to put this in the back of your mind. You have a good few weeks of summer to enjoy :smile:
I am really anxious about my math grades, i'm not even worried about any other subject it's just maths, but your right i can't change my marks now so i might as well just chill and wait for results day and go from there

Calm, and wait until results day, then deal with it

edexcel


I did really bad in maths too, hoping I scraped a 4 this time but gonna have to resit anyway cause I need a 5 or 6:frown: :s-smilie:
Just don't stress about it too much - what's done is done now. If you do want to resit, I'm sure your college/sixth form can give you beneficial advice and support on that after you get your result.

The resit dates for Edexcel are this November I think:
Paper 1 - 2nd November 2017
Paper 2 - 6th November 2017
Paper 3 - 8th November 2017

But make sure, you enjoy your summer holidays and when the time comes do better next time :smile:

did u do really bad too? after each paper i counted how many marks i think i definitely got and i think i defiantly got at least 60-70 marks out of 240. i've looked at predictions for grade boundaries and many people are saying this that is a high 4 or maybe just about 5 if the grade boundaries are quite low

Yh, after looking at the unofficial marksheme list, I think overall I got about 60-70 marks as well. Really hope its a pass at least! Praying these grade boundaries are low :frown::redface:

You need at least 5 if you don't want to re-sit. This is because 5 is known as a 'good pass' which is what the government expects from students. A grade 4 is a 'pass', but you will still have to re sit.

Hi, I'm also in an incredibly strange situation where I can say with good certainty that I've achieved around 5 A*s in my gcses but in maths I feel like I could fail which would mean that none of my sixth forms would accept me.

How many marks do you have, and what exam board?
