***GCSE Results Day thread - POLL IS ALMOST CLOSING - VOTE FOR HARDEST SUBJECT!!!!***

Hey 🙈🙊🙉!

A-Level: Bio, Chem, Maths and/or Psychology but depends on where I end up.

Favourite subject: Physics. Just bits and bobs though like Electromagnetism. I love seeing its application in the world. Still, my grades aren't spectacular for it.

Worst subject: RS. Waste of a GCSE. Had to pull myself off the ground during the last month as I realised that my teachers (who were playing musical chairs in the beginning of the year) would not salvage my grade as we weren't taught half the content and no one in the year had a clue of what was going on (they gave out the mark schemes to memorise for mocks and most people were getting between U-5).

😑 (I can't define my feelings towards results day very well but its like a mixture of anxiety, irrational fear, overthinking and also being desperate to get it over with in case there is a glimmer of hope)

Scenarios:
Best/Worst/Realistic
Lit: 9/6/8
Lang: 8/6/8
Maths: 9/7/8
Bio: 9/7/8
Chem: 9/7/9
Physics: 8/6/7
Geo: 9/7/9
RS: 9/7/9
Drama: 7/4/6
CIDA: A*/A/A* (not really a GCSE tbf - already got an A in my Unit 1 and only needed 23/33 in the coursework to get an A* overall)

Its a struggle to predict my own grades as I don't want to set my expectations too high since the grade boundries are basically unpredictable.


Destination: Stupid me only applied to two places only to realise that they are literally the worst places I could have chosen so I am hoping to get accepted by late application to a much better (grammar) sixth form that I thought was out of my reach.

Post-Results Day: If all goes well, I'll be binge watching MKR (cooking competition) as I am still on holiday and not due back until Tuesday.

Good Luck Guys!

My GCSES:
English Literature (Edexcel)
English Language (AQA)
Biology (Edexcel)
Physics (Edexcel)
Chemistry (Edexcel, did triple science)
History (CIE)
Latin (OCR)
Italian (CIE)
RT (Edexcel)
Maths (Edexcel) --> did early last year, A*
French (CIE) --> did early last year, A*

My A-level choices:

Philosophy (AQA)
Maths
Further Maths - Statistics

My favourite GCSE was English Literature, 2nd favourite RT

My worst and most hated subject was Physics by far

Feelings about results day:

Best case scenario// Worst case scenario // Realistic case scenario:

English Literature: 9//8//9
English Language: 9//8//9
Biology: A*//A//A*
Physics: A*//A//A* (unless grade boundaries are insanely high which seems likely )
Chemistry: A*//A//A* (but lowkey feel like i flopped paper 1 the more i think about it)
History: A*//A//A*
Latin: A*//A//A*
Italian: A*//A//A*
RT: 9//8//8
Maths: Got an A*
French: Got an A*
i sooo hope i get all a*s but i wont be surprised if i dont
I hope to go to sixth form at my current school, then go on to probably study Law (dream uni is Cambridge)

On results day I'll open it with like one close friend so that I don't feel too much pressure from other people, then probs go out to eat with some friends

good luck

There is no poems in English Language exam. In English Literature the poem chosen this year for Love and Relationships was Singh Song.

I did mine a year ago so kind of forgot. Do you know what came out for power and conflict?

firstly i'm so glad everyone said math and physics :' i'm so reassured by that

1. lol couldn't even remember there for a second. triple science, drama, geography, spanish, RS, english literature, english language, maths. got an A at stats too
2. no clue but i put down english lit, math, geography and drama
3. drama. it was a rough few years through bullying but the subject itself was so enjoyable.
4. it's a tie between physics and maths. i enjoyed math throughout year 11 but i struggled. as for physics my teacher kept putting me down urgh don't get me startedd
5. 😩
6. best case scenario ~
biology (8), chemistry (9), physics (8), drama (9), geography (9), spanish (8), RS (9), english literature (8), english language (7), maths (7)
worst case scenario ~
biology (6), chemistry (6), physics (5), drama (6), geography (6), spanish (6), RS (6), english literature (6), english language (5), maths (3)
realistic case scenario ~
biology (7), chemistry (8), physics (7), drama (8), geography (8), spanish (8), RS (8), english literature (7), english language (6), maths (6)

i honestly believe i'll do well across all subjects except i'm so so so disappointed with maths. i imagine i'll discuss retakes and other options with my head of sixth form calmly without breaking down knowing that i'm probably not meant to do math at A level. instead i'll need to reconsider knowing that no matter how harsh everyone is they want the best for me even if i'm supposedly super smart.

7. sixth form
8. i know for sure i'll be crying because of how stressed out i've been all summer. if it's good i might treat myself by going out for lunch at leicester square and get free food. i think i might treat myself a lot and maybe i'll drink a little when i get home without my parents knowing lol. if it's not what i expected i'll delay going home possibly comfort myself on tsr then prepare myself irl to tell everyone my results.

Great grades - YOU SHOULD BE PROUD OF YOUR RESULTS AND I WISH YOU THE BEST. So sorry to hear about the bullying but you know, like sucks sometimes and some people are just losers so their action confirms that for them. I wish you all the best.

I’m going to get pizza in London... I’ll probably be on tsr if I’m being honest.

if it's good i might treat myself by going out for lunch at leicester square and get free food. if it's not what i expected i'll delay going home possibly comfort myself on tsr then prepare myself irl to tell everyone my results.

Great Grades - I hope you achieve all the grades you want. If you want check out my earlier thread on POTENTIAL grade boundaries - click here to go to the thread.

I am sort of feeling stressed because I feel like I am going to do good but I am just trying to prepare for the worst case scenario so that if I feel disappointed at least its effect is minimal - I am just scared of being overconfident because I could have possible gotten something like 5 or 6 9s but at the same times I am scared because we are all oblivious to the grade boundaries.

You should check out my earlier (and more popular thread) where I discussed potential grade boundaries - click here to see it. And tell me what you think about their overall accuracy!

My GCSE RESULTS DAY MOTTO IS "Expect the worst and hope for the best!"

thank you for your kind words! i found that it motivated me to work harder. i highly doubt it but if i get a 9 then i know that it's what motivated me to strive for more than i usually would. i wish you all the best too x

👀👀👀

i fOUND MY TWIN

YESSSSS omg I think I’m going near Leicester Square as well...
It depends on the grades I get though as the sixth form I'd enrol at if I’ve done well is in central London
Do you know what sort of food you’re getting?

Hi my name is Angela! My favourite subject during GCSE was English literature which I will be continuing with in y12. My worst was maths😂 so I pray I passed because I put in a lot of effort... my parents got me 4 tutors across the 2 years of exam periods since I got chosen to sit the higher paper 5 months before and I was panicking. If I get a grade 5 that would be the best scenario for me because all I really want is to pass maths and get it over and done with so I don’t have to resit. I will be studying English literature, sociology and psychology at a level and so I hope to become a social worker.
